Villa Vajra, Ubud
Portrait
The “Vajra” is a quintessential symbol of Vajrayana Buddhism. It is an object used in Tibetan rituals to represent the sword of wisdom cutting through ignorance.
As impressive as its name is the architecture of the estate, which is a dramatic expression of openness to the surrounding natural setting. The spaciousness of villa Vajra offers luxurious accommodation in its three bedrooms. This exclusive property is surrounded by landscaped gardens, which fit naturally into the slopes of a river valley gorge. After a breathtaking passage through arched majestic bamboo, the approach to the villa is a raised wooden walkway through undisturbed rice fields, giving no clue to the remarkable design of the villa ahead and its electrifying views.
Constructed with highest quality local materials (‘alang alang’ thatch, marble and Palimanan stone, teak wood, and so forth) the property combines the very best of Balinese architectural elements with contemporary flair, elegant finishes and modern amenities. The villa offers both the epitome of outdoor living and indoor air-conditioned comfort and makes you feel right at home.
A small, dedicated team takes care of your every need. Two cooks, trained in local cuisine and a wide range of international specialties, will spoil you using mainly locally grown organic ingredients.
