Villa Semana

Location
Villa Semana is an enchanting property that is enveloped by rice fields and overlooks the sacred Ayung River. It is approximately 5 km, southwest from the centre of Ubud, which is considered the artistic and cultural pulse of Bali. Villa Semana is part of the Desa Singakerta community, a rural area where daily life revolves around the traditional and cultural values that are an intrinsic part of the Hindu religion. Here local villagers lead a fairly simple existence that is relatively free from the excesses of modern society. Farmland is passed down through each successive generation and survival is determined by Mother Nature’s bounty.

Property Overview
Villa Semana is a haven nestled high in the green valleys of artistic Ubud on the island of Bali. Built with the discerning traveler in mind, the property commands breathtaking views and harmonizes with the surrounding environment. Villa Semana is a precious hideaway blessed with a rare spiritual energy. It is a destination where the gentle beauty of nature has the power to nurture the senses and restore balance to the lives of those in need.
Villa Semana is composed of just 10 private villas and each one is a fine example of stylish Balinese architecture showcasing aesthetic interiors. The traditionally thatched villas are designed to visually embrace the outdoors and evoke a sense of profound lightness and serenity. Each villa is imbedded in the natural contours of a landscape that borders the sacred Ayung River and nearby rice terraces. The property has four accommodation categories and each individual villa has been named after an indigenous flower.

Cempaka
Semana suite, the premier villa category, rests above the Ayung River and is a sanctuary of pure serenity. The suite is ensconced within a spacious garden compound that descends in tiers down to the edge of the river flow. It features a private swimming pool and sun lounging area for ultimate relaxation.
The suite itself has been designed as a traditionally thatched two-storey dwelling that favors indigenous materials such as stone and hardwoods. Downstairs is a semi-open living cum dining environment with a tasteful décor of timber furnishings, quirky artworks and aesthetic pieces. There is also a study and bathroom as well as a service kitchenette. The upstairs master bedroom, including a luxury bathroom, is a haven of indulgence with a generous canopied bed making it the perfect love nest for honeymooners.

Villa Kamboja
Kamboja is a two bedrooms villa with a traditional Balinese interior and subtle lighting that intensifies sleep comfort along with plush bedding and downy pillows. Be lulled into a peaceful slumber by the soft night sounds of nature and the gentle whisper of the Ayung River.
The upper level of this villa offers sweeping views across the Sayan valley, while the lower bedroom merges into a pavilion that reflects the healthy attributes of outdoor living. The infinity pool gently spills over and blends seamlessly into the stunning vistas beyond.
Villas Katalia, Helikonia, Melati and Vanda
Orientated towards terraced rice fields that personify the raw beauty of the rural countryside, these villa types are all characterized by ornately carved Balinese doors. A modest courtyard is revealed just beyond the entrance portal where an individual living and sleeping pavilion architecturally recreates the Balinese-Hindu cosmic universe. Experience the rare ambience of this unique villa category as the poetic fusion of light and space are ever changing throughout the course of every single day.

Villa Teratai
This charming villa category provides a tranquil escape where you can take time out to rediscover the simple pleasures that life has to offer. Lounge by your private pool intimately surrounded by tropical greenery or relax in the upper floor living room with a good book and an icy cold drink.

Villa Alamanda
A private retreat positioned on a tiered piece of landscape over the Sayan ridge, villa alamanda features an infinity edge pool that stretches out towards the emerald splendor of the valley. This villa offers a sense of calm that is far removed from the hectic pace of a busy lifestyle.

Lily & Mawar
Lily & Mawar are adjacent villas that are discretely separated by lush foliage. These villa categories have been designed with thought and detail to evoke a sense of the sublime. Amply furnished with modern amenities, each villa is filled with small touches such as a rustic outdoor shower adding a touch of urbane charm.
