Villa Naga, Ubud

This breathtaking villa lies just outside the artist town of Ubud, nestled in beautiful, tropical landscape. "Naga" means dragon, an auspicious sign of the Chinese zodiac.

The house is designed by Dutch architect Joost van Grieken using traditional Balinese and Javanese building materials in a very modern minimalist style. The house has been written up in a number of books and architectural magazines as part of the new Bali school of architecture.

The long stretched piece of land that gives far views over the Wos river valley is mainly facing the east, the direction of the sun and moonrise. The modern designed pavilions were completed in spring 2001 and consist the following:

From the entrance pavilion a walkway leads through a lush garden to the central courtyard. Here is the access to main pavilion from where you can experience your first stunning views over the valley.

In this long-house style pavilion the open dining space is accommodated, together with 2 spacious bedrooms. In between the entrance from the gallery to the bedrooms is a private comfortable sitting area located.

Each bedroom has a king size bed, a separate dressing area with an attached open outdoor patio with a free-stand bathtub and shower.

Via the dining area, walking over stepping-stones of the main focus fishpond, one reaches the large living pavilion, where the kitchen and the staff house are. While traditional Balinese and Javanese materials are used throughout, the pavilions with the thatched roofs appear to be modern, so is most of the furniture.

All decorative and art works have been collected by the owner during trips all over Asia. The lighting in the pavilions and garden create another serene atmosphere during the evenings.

The villa is very comfortably located just 5 km outside of Ubud, nestled into a small, still very traditional, Balinese village. Narrow roads will take you through the village and the nearby rice paddies. A unique experience especially during the many local holidays, when streets and house entrances are beautifully decorated with local offerings.
