Fabulous

Out stay here was magical. The property is breathtakingly beautiful and the staff is a pleasure--so helpful and friendly. I can't say enough about Putu, the property manager. He went above and beyond to help us with rides, in home dinners, and a tour. He is so knowledgeable about the area and the culture. I highly recommend having him take you around Ubud. We had 2 dinners in the villa and they were delicious. Honestly, one of the best VRBO stays I've experienced. Don't miss out on this special experience.

Jungle Paradise

An outstanding property in a lush tropical setting. The outdoor spaces were all wonderful, especially the pool and lounge area near the pool. The bedrooms were exceptionally well appointed with beautiful bathrooms. The house staff was exceptional in their willingness to accommodate our needs for food choices as well as helping with transportation. The house staff was A++! I highly recommend this property for anyone’s vacation needs.

Not your average VRBO

This is not your average VRBO. It comes with a staff that ensures you will throughly enjoy your stay. Breakfast is served every morning. Beds are make and every day someone is cleaning the property. We have rented many houses but none have this level of service and cleanliness. You will not be disappointed.

The Alami Villa exceeded our expectations! The accommodations were fantastic and the views were stunning. We were surrounded by jungle with the sound of the river below. The staff was 5 star as well! They provided for our every need - extra beds, chef services, massages, laundry, Balinese dancers and more! They greeted us every minute with a huge smile on their face. We won’t hesitate to stay here again!!

Another visit to paradise

This was our 5th visit to Villa Alami and once again it did not disappoint! The property is as stunning as ever and the staff couldn't be more wonderful taking care of our every need. Sang Putu and his team were at our beck and call to make reservations, make suggestions, drive us into Ubud for shopping and eating, drive us to the rice terraces, to a wonderful waterfall, and even to visit a local healer. Breakfast every morning was a delight. You really need to look no further when choosing a villa in Bali. Thank you for sharing it with us once again!!

Wonderful Family Vacation

Great place for family vacation. The staff in Via Alami in Ubud is outpass our expectation. Very friendly, very accesible, one is always there to cater with your needs. We, included children between 3 to 6 yrs loved their specialty breakfast, dragon bowl. They were always there to help with our lunch and dinner too. The view od the gorge from the infinity swimming pool is breathless. The lightings were a bit dark, only small wattage bulbs were used but they were changed immediately the next day we requested for brighter bulbs. Will definitely will recommend to anybody who loves super relaxation and tranquility

This place will literally blow your mind!

I just tried to hack VRBO’s site so that I could give this place more than five stars… Words do not exist to describe how amazing our experience at Alami Villa was… it was our second time to come to Ubud, and being in an entire house separate from the craziness and traffic of the city was perfect. The property is GORGEOUS and the pool is insane… but honestly, the best part of the stay was the staff. Putu and Made were gracious and accommodating, helping with every need and even anticipating things we’d need before we even knew we needed them. They were also shockingly good at being discreet and out of the way, so it didn’t seem like we had anyone there but us. Putu helped arrange a private check for two of the nights we were there, and the food was incredible. The included breakfast every morning was delicious as well. They even left a “happy birthday” message written in flowers on the grass the morning of my birthday and brought a little cake for dinner. Zero question - we’re coming back to Bali just to stay here again. If you’re coming to Ubud, you NEED to stay here!

Amazing stay in Ubud

The villa is even more stunning in person than in the photos - a combination of modern day amenities (air conditioning in bedrooms / media rooms and wi fi), along with beautiful outdoor common areas where you can hear nature - running river, birds, roosters when you awake. Central to many attractions in Ubud - we particularly enjoyed the cooking class and silver jewelry making class recommended by Putu - the villa manager, as well as trips to the nearby Monkey Forest and Bird Safari. What makes this villa extra special though are the wonderful staff who care for you during your stay - Putu's recommendations for where to eat / things to do were spot on and the remainder of the staff took wonderful care of us - starting with a gourmet breakfast (included in the price) each morning, keeping the villa spotless, and attending to our every need throughout the stay. We have truly never been on a vacation where we felt so well cared for and amongst such wonderful people.

Wonderful villa!

We were a family group of seven that had the good fortune to stay for five nights at Villa Alami. What can I say, that hasn't already been said by everyone in previous reviews. I can only echo how amazing the villa is, how helpful Martha is (she treats you like a friend) and how truly magnificant her team, lead by the amazing Putu, actually are. NOTHING is too much trouble. You will be treated like royalty. I cannot praise them highly enough, they are amazing people who go out of their way to make sure your stay is the best it could possibly be. We packed so much into our short stay including two dance performances by the local villagers, which are definitely not to be missed! We were blown away by the quality of the performances. We had the chef cook for us and had massages at the villa, both experiences were wonderful. We were so sad when it was time to leave this fantastic villa and say goodbye to Sang Putu and his team, the days had flown by in a heartbeat.

An UBUD Gem!

We decided to travel to UBUD to celebrate my cousins 40th birthday. Alami Villas was where we chose to spend our vacay. All i can say is wow! This villa is absolutely beautiful. I love the open air concept. You can hear the river running and the hummingbirds singing throughout the forest. It is so serene and peaceful. And an occassional rooster lol. I love nature. Each room is spaced out where guest can truly have their own privacy. There was a group of 5 of us. I chose the garden suite. Stunning. Glass allows for a panoramic view of the garden. The shower and tub are situated outside in a private garden. The infinity pool was beautiful with views of the forest. If you love the photos you will be even more in love in person. The guest of honor stayed in the grand master suite. When she entered it was decorated so beautiful with happy birthday in flowers and balloons. The Lawn also said Happy Birthday in flowers. Putu, Maete and the rest of the staff were the absolute best. My flight was delayed and without hesitation they were willing to make adjustments. They greeted us with a smile always, making sure that we had everything that we needed and great suggestions for places to eat, shop and things to do and took us everywhere that we needed to go. Breakfast was amazing. We were addicted to the chocolate chip pancakes. I refused to leave without learning how to make them lol. Now our Bali Family recipe. THANK YOU Martha for everything! We love Alami

An absolute oasis

I'm a fussy traveller and I could not fault our stay at the villa. It was so beautiful and tranquil and as everyone says the photos don't do it justice. Putu, Made, Kadek and the rest of the team were so helpful, but also knew when to step back, which is a rare skill. An added bonus is the team can offer local tours that are informative and great value. Exceptional!

better than the pix!

Our party of 10 had an amazing stay in the Villa. Everything was lovely and better than the pix show in the listing. Communication was easy with the owner and Putu, the house manager once we got there. Taxis were arranged along with all day tours and recommendations. The food ordered in was great (it is a bit far from Ubud with the traffic) and the food cooked by the chef who came to the house was even better and well worth the price! All of it was amazing. I really could have stayed there many more days.

Perfect Ubud Stay

We had the privilege of staying at Alami Villa for 12 nights. The entire team was excellent. Each day we would have one adventure or activity scheduled and then would decide whether to eat out or in for dinner and with the guidance of the Alami staff, we had the perfect combination of high end and low end choices. All were wonderful ways to taste the local flavors. Alami Villa creates magic and over time we all recognized how special it was to be able to experience their hospitality. Highly recommended!

Paradise

My family of 5 stayed at Alami Villa for 5 days. It is hard to add to what other reviewers have said about the villa and location. It is as beautiful as the pictures portray. What the pictures can't also capture is the beauty and peacefulness in other sensory elements like the sounds of the river and the birds and the feel of the warm, humid air mixed with the cool breeze. It is a wonderful place and all the choices that have been made by the owners and staff only enhance the experience of staying there. Communication with the owner prior to our arrival was excellent. She took the time to speak with me and answer some questions we had, which I appreciated. The staff at the villa is also wonderful. As other reviewers have said - they are friendly and helpful and they anticipate what you might need practically before you ask. The property manager offered advice on things we might like to do and he took all of our responses and found us just what we were looking for. I wanted to add an additional comment about the staff. We were traveling with my two teenage daughters and my son, who is 11 and on the autism spectrum. My son loves adventures and seeing new places but can also be easily overwhelmed by new people or unfamiliar situations. When this happens, he needs a little break in order to regroup. This can be tough to communicate to others on his behalf, especially to people trying to help out. Every member of the staff at the villa and especially the property manager blew me away by how sensitive and empathic they were, without any explanation necessary. We were so impressed by and grateful for how expertly and graciously attuned the staff was to their guests. I think this is universally appreciated, but I know it is something that I especially look for with my son and so I wanted to be sure to highlight it. TL;DR We highly recommend Alami Villa! We hope to return someday.

About the host

Hosted by Marty Wiseman

As adventure travel experts we have been leading groups throughout Southeast Asia for over 20 years but our hearts always lead us back to Bali.
The completion of Alami Villa has fulfilled our lifelong dream of creating an ultimate island hideaway.

Why they chose this property

After years of searching for the perfect location, we finally found Tengkulak Kaja. Just minutes from the center of Ubud, yet nestled on the edge of a quiet village.
The Villa was completed at the end of 2012 and the entry gardens in January 2013.
The infinity pool was added in May 2014.

What makes this property unique

It is rare to find such a quiet location so near to Ubud town. One look at the dramatic view of the Petanu River canyon view and you will understand why this location is truly unmatched.
