Ubud lies a well-kept secret. Villa Pantulan, a
5-star luxury villa overlooks verdant rice fields and Mount Batukaru
in the distance. From the moment our gates are opened, you enter

time really does stand still and you forget your worries. A magical
eco-friendly environment that will capture your heart and make you
return again and again to Ubud and to Bali.

is captured in several water features. Comprising four pavilions,
our very own private spa, and a bale to relax away from the heat
of the sun, there is a 25m swimming pool,a reflecting pond, lily
ponds inhabited by Koi fish, and a bamboo forest waterfall.
With a staff of fourteen people, every care has been taken to create
a memorable vacation for you.
Villa Pantulan is well-suited for large and small gatherings, intimate
weddings, honeymoon retreats and corporate teams seeking luxury
and privacy.
In the quiet, unspoiled village of Lodtunduh, three kilometers
south of Ubud, Villa Pantulan overlooks verdant rice fields and
Mount Batukaru. From the moment our gates are opened, you enter
a world of enchantment, seclusion and tranquility, far from the
noisy, crowded beach hotels and busy roads of Bali.
The open environment of Villa Pantulan is an ever-changing scene
depending on the season. The rice fields glimmer in shades of green
and brown, and at sunset, when the sun descends behind the tree
line, the frogs and crickets begin their nightly symphony and the
mountain air brings a cool breeze.
Villa Pantulan comprises four pavilions, an artists studio and
a meditation/massage bale. All buildings have traditional alang
alang roofs (thatched), wood and terrazzo floors. The five bedrooms,
which sleep ten comfortably, have sliding louvered and glass doors
that open up completely to allow the cool mountain air to circulate
and all rooms have ceiling fans.
The villa is built around several water features including a reflecting
pond, lily pond, swimming pool and a small bamboo forest waterfall.
It is well suited for small weddings, a health/yoga retreat, or
a corporate team seeking privacy and luxury. We take great pride
in the beauty of our home and have furnished it with many exquisite
works of art both modern and antique. Great care has been taken
to provide our guests with as many amenities as possible. Beautiful
Balinese cotton kimonos and slippers are available for your comfort
and to take home as a souvenir of Villa Pantulan.

The living room is open to the rice fields and
the lotus pond. The comfortable terrazzo seating is covered in cushions

on the rice field side gives splendid views in the morning while
taking breakfast, or for playing games on a hot afternoon. Beside

is a stunning painting by local Bali resident Wolfgang Widmoser.

bathrooms at Villa Pantulan, it has its own exterior garden.
The Lotus Pavilion
The Lotus Pavilion is a two-story structure comprising sitting
room, bedroom and bathroom. On the ground floor, a stunning wall
carving depicting village life adorns the back wall. A small sofa,
two chairs, a coffee table and a sofa table are covered in brown
Balinese cotton. On the table and long benches are fine examples
of Balinese glass and traditional wooden boat.
Upstairs, a large bedroom overlooks the rice field and swimming
pool. A beautiful white stone Buddha head decorates the back of
the bed, and delicate colored organza is lit from behind to cast
a beautiful light on the bed at night. This is a truly romantic
bedroom and as the sun sets, there is a magnificent view from this
bedroom.
The bathroom includes a waterfall and a koi fish pond next to the
outdoor shower. Two porcelain bowls sit on top of terrazzo counters
and are well-lit by Italian light fixtures. A high wall, covered
in fern and flowering plants, gives you complete privacy.
The Temple Garden
The Temple Garden Pavilion has two bedrooms, both decorated in
shades of tropical green and deep sea blue. In each room, a queen
size bed is surrounded by a white mosquito net emphasizing the dramatic
bed linens, cushions and curtains made from Balinese cotton. The
lower bedroom extends out to the Temple garden, koi pond and orchid
garden. The upper bedroom offers splendid views of the rice field
and an overall view of the house and orchid garden below.
The bathroom on the ground floor is a striking bamboo and white
pebble garden designed around the outdoor shower. Two porcelain
bowls set on terrazzo counters and Italian lighting fixtures make
this a stunning bathroom.
The Ricefield Pavilion
Behind the Lotus Pavilion, tucked away discretely behind the wall,
is the Rice Field Pavilion. A two bedrooms structure decorated in
shades of Irish green, Balinese red and black add dramatic flair
to an already dramatic setting.
Each bedroom opens out onto a different view from a small wooden
deck, on one side the Temple Garden and on the other, the rice fields.
Each bedroom has a queen sized bed canopied in white mosquito net
and a beautiful Balinese Ikat design. All beds are carefully lit
from inside by beautiful Italian lamps. A small table and chair
for writing postcards or letters and a mirror complete this room.

two level pavilion designed by Tony Gwilliam. Built on water, it
is an ideal place to take tea and admire the rice fields on your
doorstep. A small table rises from the middle of the floor Japanese
style, enabling you to put your feet in the water on hot afternoons.
Upstairs is an office space with a magnificent view of the mountains
in the distance.
