Ask the Staff to Organize a local activity at the residence with a local guide:
"A Day in the Life of a Balinese Farmer"
This offers the guest an opportunity to immerse themselves in the unique culture of Bali.
Start your day with a trek around the village with one of the local guides. Continue walking around the village on the outskirts of the residence and down the road towards Gata.
Ask if you can watch the woman make their offerings and learn about the spirituality of this culture. In Bali- every house, every building, has a temple or shrine that receives daily blessings. Small banana-leaf baskets with incense sticks and offerings are a common sight all over the island.
As you tour the village, you can see the way the villagers live. The personal touches your guide gives— they often show you their childhood games they played and talk about anecdotes as you walk among the houses—this all adds to the the experience.
After your stroll, return to Puri Naga Toya for lunch around the Pool and enjoy a something from our in-house dining menu. The meal helps enhance the experience! The flavours, setting and smells, however, are very authentic.
"Work in the fields"
Take a walk to the rice field with a local guide and watch the farmer while he works. Ask them to share with you what has taken place prior to your arrival—ask how the plant the rice and how they harvest it.
It really back-breaking stuff, and our laboriously slow. It’s a skill that can only really be appreciated once the task is attempted.
"Balinese Massage"
Don't forget to indulge in the delights of a Balinese massage during your stay— the conclusion to your experience.
Owner info
Year Purchased: 2001
About the owner: Growing up in South America, Europe and the United States - we have always coveted all things unique and beautiful, especially when it came to decor for the home. Finding beauty in the hidden and collecting treasures to further fill our surroundings became a passionate hobby of ours. After moving to Bali, we desired to fill our home with one-of-a-kind pieces, and found ourselves bringing back items that we would discover on our travels. Inspired by far off places, Puri Naga Toya is comprised of a collaboration of the things that we both love - and our fascination for beautiful, individual home accessories sourced from local tribes and villages around South East Asia. Puri Naga Toya brings these items from exotic corners of the world straight to you when you stay in our private residence. Enjoy living with history! With 25 years of Bali knowledge, we have created a private residence that offers guests the benefits of local insights and a true understanding of what travelers want. This secure residence is a luxury sanctuary, an urban residence for high net-worth leisure travelers who are looking to stay a little longer than usual in Bali, and for those who want to see Bali from a different perspective. Enjoy the island at a pace you wouldn’t in hotels. Being in the mountains and on the river; you feel the serenity of being upcountry with no big developments, major construction or noisy discos to disturb them here. The weather in Payangan is cooler, and without the mosquito problems they have in the south.
Why the Owner Chose Payangan, Gianyar Regency, Bali, Republic of Indonesia:
This is a 'sacred space', featured in many publications magazines and coffee table books due its uplifting atmosphere.
The owners go to their property to be soothed and healed, and to have their senses put in order.
This exclusive residence is a masterclass in stylish understatement with chilled-out charm.
This is a mellow hangout offering beautiful, pristine mountain views and the famous Ayung river and waterfall down below; situated in a tropical river valley.
Luxury today in the sense of travel is about an experience you are providing. That experience is a collection of key attributes, like service, people, physical room, location, and food. All these things must come together in the right way to provide truly unique luxury experiences.
Seeing life as it was a hundred years before in a village , exploring our living museums and enjoying our private collections as their very own exceeds expectations.
This private and immaculate property offers fresh air, clean water and privacy.
The location is 'nestled' amoung the finest hotels and residences in Bali away from Kuta beach.
Villa Puri Naga Toya offers a unique and luxury retreat in the mountains. The 4 bedroom; 3 bathroom villa; is perfect for 8 persons. It is available to be rented complete with an English speaking supervisor and staff to help you with your cleaning, cooking and laundry needs.
In Asia-Pacific Tropical Homes Magazine, Joni wrote this about Villa Puri Naga Toya
“Whimsical as it might at first appear, the two storey octagonal design lends itself perfectly to the site.” “The first floor enjoys a range of different orientations, with a pivotal opposition between a landscaped garden courtyard on one side and the sweeping vista of volcanic hills and virgin rainforest on the other.”
The Unique Benefits at this Villa:
Stay at Puri Naga Toya and you'll feel like Balinese royalty. The staff at Puri Naga Toya are very well trained and will help you to arrange all of your holiday schedules.
The interior is a world away from hotel-style luxury, with a private collection of antiques, excellent book collection in the Library that 'stay at home'; blended with modern amenities and attention to detail. Its owners have more than two decades experience in five-star luxury hotel management. This is a sanctuary to enjoy your family and friends.
Watch the beauty and transformation of the mountains; go for a walk in village and see offerings being laid out, men sitting outside their family compounds patting their prized roosters and Balinese children playing in the streets. Or, stay at home and enjoy the plentiful comfortable places both inside and outside to relax.
The unique and individual bedrooms feature comfortable beds with European inner spring mattresses, pillows and goose down duvets. The Master bedroom has its own en suite. For guests who enjoy cooking Puri Naga Toya has a well-equipped kitchen.
This 'hill country' residence is private, and you can experience authentic Balinese village life, yet it is only 15 min drive from the Hanging Garden Ubud Hotel.
This is a private and secure property. One of the highlights of Puri Naga Toya is its location. With superb mountain and river, views it is situated in a small Balinese village.
