Dua Dari, a Residence by Hadiprana

The site on the edge of the Petanu River became an especially compelling possibility after an intuitive friend told Hadiprana that two beautiful angels guarded the land. In bahasa duadari means two women or two angels.

The thread of angelic protection runs deep in this tropical jungle site. Numerous colossal stone sculptures of women and angels perch throughout the verdant grounds. Traditional Balinese-style architecture connects indoors with outdoors through towering windows leading to thatched wooden ceilings and open-air pavilions. Rooms decorated in Balinese style feature larger than king-size beds (that could easily accommodate three people per bed). A pool tempts swimmers, while digital nomads can work while overlooking the verdant forest or tranquil pond. A dozen different spots on the grounds are ripe for picnicking.
