Villa Amala, Ubud, Bali

This week, we bring you to another part of Bali. Welcome to Villa Amala located in the province of Tegallalang, Ubud. Unlike the Seminyak area which target mainly chic and Western travellers, Ubud is a more popular destination for those who would like to be more in touch with nature.

As you can see, Villa Amala is smacked in the midst of nearby padi fields and overlooks the river Wos. The villa is an hour’s ride from Bali’s Ngurah Rai airport, which is a price we had to pay for this tremendous and serene getaway. Speaking of which, our transport was provided along with the accomodation package.

With five ensuite guestrooms, Villa Amala can accommodate up to 10 people pretty comfortably. Definitely suitable for 4-5 couples looking to spend some quality time away soaking up the sun and forgetting about their deskbound jobs (at least for the weekend!). Speaking of which, the villa boasts a 20m lap pool where guests can take a leisurely dip...

...or just enjoying the surronding greeneries sprawling over the deck chair ;) Here, we also managed to experience what it is like to harvest these fields. You'll think twice about complaining about your job!

One of the highlights of this villa is the open dining area, which again, overlooks the padi fields. The in-house chef has mastered both local and western cuisine. All we needed to do is to discuss with the chef on the type of dishes we wanted and they'll speed off to do their grocery shopping. Best of all, we only have to pay for the cost of the groceries (plus a small tip of cos!).

As you make your way to the back of the villa, you will notice a small passage way that would eventually lead you to a quiet and cosy hut.

There is also a large daybed overlooking the lap pool for you to enjoy your evening read or even a massage...

...and perhaps enjoy the sunset that Bali has to offer!
