Our stay at Alam Bulan Villa was magical. We stayed here in August with two families of four (four adults and four children ranging from 10 to 15 years). To start, we were were warmly greeted by the five staff of the villa. They gave us frangipani necklaces and cold ginger tea. Then, we were toured around the impeccable retreat. You walk into the extremely spacious kitchen and living area, which overlooks a beautiful vanishing edge pool. Then there were two bedrooms with double beds, and two bathrooms. All of this was gorgeously decorated, of course. Then there is the first master bedroom, surrounded by glass. It also has it’s own giant bathroom with an incredible tub and shower. The tubs had a beautiful array of flower petals floating on the surface. As if all this wasn’t impressive enough, you walked down stairs to a pool bathroom, lovely tropical garden, outdoor yoga hut, and, yes, another bedroom. This second master bedroom was the most secluded. It, too, was beautiful and had a large tub in the bathroom. The configuration was perfect for our two families, with two children in each of the double bedrooms.
The whole house in fact was fit for a royal family, and we felt like one from the minute we entered. It was modern Balinese style, and very tastefully decorated. We spent our days lazing around the pool, going to the local markets, and trying the delicious Balinese food. Also, the villa included a lovely concierge/guide (Puriana), who spoke excellent English. He was extremely kind, and full of helpful tips. The staff were always there for us, bringing us drinks, food, and basically anything we needed. We didn’t expect any of this, and it was just another amazing bonus. All of us left the villa eager to return. I highly recommend booking this magnificent villa. It’s the best place we have ever stayed anywhere in the world.
