Villa Melati, Ubud
Portrait
This exclusive architect-designed private home, completed in 1994, overlooks a beautiful valley in the cool foothills of Central Bali, providing a breathtaking view of the Ayung River. The design and construction of the villa is essentially in traditional Balinese style with contemporary design ideas incorporated into the fixtures and fittings. Only finest materials have been used and beautiful wooden furniture from Java and Madura provide the house with a very warm and comfortable atmosphere. Absolutely spectacular and unique are the two semi open-style, spacious bathrooms in the main building, which incorporate beautiful natural materials and tropical plants at its best.
The house is nestled into a beautiful, tropical garden, high above the river stream. A comfortable, cool breeze provides the house with nice temperatures all year around. The villa is facing west so that visitors can enjoy stunning sunsets overlooking the valley with its coconut palm trees and rice terraces. Villa Melati is a true haven for everyone who enjoys absolute privacy, tranquillity and the beautiful, tropical nature of Central Bali.

Personal tip
Villa Melati has been designed with a lot of attention to small details, which make the house very unique and provide a very personal touch and feel. It is this atmosphere and of course the absolutely stunning location, high above Ayung River, and the beauty of the tropical nature which make this estate indeed a very special place.
