The villa is located on the ocean as you enter the village of Bondalem on the beautiful north coast about 30kms. east of the city of Singaraja right before the town of Tejakula. A small road in town takes you to our very private location away from crowds and street noise. Green landscaping with flowers, plants, and coconut trees enhance the garden setting. The beach is quite long and guests can take long hikes past temples, fishing villages, and the Mandala Center. Traditional mountain and fishing villages are in the proximity as well as several restaurants. Part of the special charm of our setting is the relaxation and genuine charm of being in the "real Bali" away from the over development in the south side of the island.
For centuries called "Island of the Gods" and "Heaven on Earth", this island paradise of friendly people and rich culture has been an inspiration to famous artists and enjoys a renowned reputation for its superb craftsmanship.
Some snorkel and beach equipment is provided.
It is a short walk to the Mandala Center which provides our guests with use of their facilities including: massages, internet access, a restaurant, and beauty treatments.
An English speaking driver and large comfortable air conditioned van will be available to escort you on individualized tours. Your own staff of cook, maid, and gardener in a secure and architecturally enchanting villa will be at your disposal.
Activities:
Besides the many local ancient sites, temples, beaches, volcano hikes, dance performances, and colorful villages, you can easily arrange excursions to many fabulous places and activities all over the island. Our driver speaks fluent English and with his air conditioned van, can accommodate groups for full day personalized tours of around $40.
Bali is full of cultural and scenic wonders which are very rewarding to explore whether by foot, scooter, rented car, or with guided tours with our driver. Our driver would be glad to map out excursions to satisfy all your interests.
