Two private villas set among coconut palms and rice fields, a short ride from Ubud — looked after by a family who has called this ground home for twenty years.
Villa Uma Anyar sits in Banjar Apuh, a village of about 45 families off the main road through Mawang — close enough for Ubud's galleries and warungs, far enough to hear the river at night instead of traffic.
Each villa is rented to one party at a time. No shared corridors, no shared pool. Just your garden, your Bale for dining, and staff who'll happily disappear until you need them.
Both sleep up to four. Both come with a fully equipped kitchen, private garden, and a chef on request. The difference is in the bones.
A three-bedroom villa built with the working artist in mind — good light, a living room hung with pictographs, and a kitchen table where the day tends to start.

A traditional Javanese-Balinese Joglo structure, reassembled and restored — high beams, open living, and a pool that catches the afternoon light.
Ask about Joglo Uma
Balinese, married, father of three, and fluent in English, Balinese and Indonesian. Gede arranges everything from transport and tours to motorcycle rentals — fees go straight to the local drivers and their families, not through the villa.
