About Villa Orchids
Hidden away at the end of a road in the
traditional village of Keliki Kawan, a private paradise awaits surrounded by
untouched nature and emerald green rice-fields. Villa Orchids is a
dream come true for families or groups of friends wanting to see “the real Bali” and stay in a
traditional villa with modern luxurious facilities while still being
close to the centre of Ubud.
The living area
At the entrance there is a
waterfall-wall with a Buddha sculpture, a traditional Balinese way of keeping the bad spirits away. Once inside
you will be enchanted by the beauty and serenity surrounding you. The open-plan living pavilion has a high soaring, alang-alang roof, palimanan stone walls and an amazing view over the lush green garden and rice-fields. The interior design breathes
class and style with warm orange colours, orchid flowers, carefully selected
art from Balinese artists and
beautifully designed lamps. The suede sofa-lounge and the cozy rattan day-bed are perfect places to relax and gaze at the breathtaking view and in the evening you can enjoy a delicious, freshly cooked dinner at the teak wooden dining table prepared by the
excellent in-house chef-cook. The kitchen-bar with stools is a great place to enjoy a cup of
Nespresso in the morning or a
homemade cocktail in the evening. The
private spa pavilion is the place to go to rejuvenate.
Outdoor and pool area
In the
expansive garden is spread out across 2500 m2 of tropical beauty blending in perfectly with the emerald rice-fields. The stunning
infinity pool has salt water, softening your skin and after a refreshing dive, you can sunbathe on the pool-side loungers surrounded by frangipani trees, coconut palms and other exotic beauty. In the centre stands an
impressive traditional art-work that is lighted up in the evening for another amazing sight when you are
dining alfresco style or relaxing in the
traditional balé.
The master bedroom
The air-conditioned
garden suite has a high alang-alang roof and lots of natural sunlight shining in through the window with rice-field view. The canopied king-size bed has a high quality mattress for a perfect night sleep in a fully darkened room. There is a
TV with DVD-player and a stereo with a selection of Cd's and movies for entertainment. The
orange sofa-bed can be used as an extra bed for an additional price. Perfect for families travelling with children. In the en-suite bathroom you can relax in the
bathtub or enjoy an
outdoor shower in the ambiance of a sacred Banyan tree. All bathroom amenities are provided and in the large wardrobe closets you will find kimono's, slippers and a safe box.
The guest bedrooms
The two air-conditioned bedrooms are perfect for families as they have an
interconnecting door in the dressing-room. The green room features a deluxe king-size bed and the chocolate room has twin-beds. Both rooms have a TV with DVD-player and the bathrooms have the same
luxurious facilities as the master suite.
