The name Umah di Beji or 'House on a Sacred Spring' aptly describes this luxurious retreat which evokes in visitors an alluring sense of serenity and mystical tranquility.  This exceptional villa has received numerous acclaims: it was voted one of the top 10 island villas in Asia by the DestinAsian magazine's June-July issue in 2003. Built on approx. 3,000 square metres of land, the villa design is centred around an impressive 15m X 5m black lava stone swimming pool fronting the river, which rises up towards the sky  as if to invite the gods themselves to bathe.   The use of the lava stones permits the creation of a mirror to reflect the sky and villa surroundings in the clear water.  Meanwhile, the pool lighting allows bathers to enjoy swimming in balmy tropical nights under the stars after a delicious meal, or to cool down after dancing the night away.   As befits its name, water features significantly in this villa design.   The swimming pool not only provides a focal point for the villa but is an ideal place to relax and enjoy time with friends and family.  Its generous size allows for laps to be swum by those who are health conscious, or to use the various pool items stored at the villa for guest use such as pool toys for children and grown up 'kids'.  The proximity of the river front bale and its sound system means that music can be enjoyed while splashing in the pool or simply while sun bathing on loungers on the pool deck. The sumptuous master bathroom is guaranteed to take the breath away.  Under an open plan pavilion is a square lily pond with stone steps leading into a sunken stone bath, flanked by statues of Balinese helpers and a clay pot adorned with rose petalled water to complement your bath time pleasures.  A small water feature at the rear completes this bath fit for the gods. In addition, all bathrooms at Umah di Beji are supplied with the villa’s own signature, locally produced soaps, bath oils, shampoos and conditioners.  The villa's main theme of water and intimate places is repeated in the villa's luxuriously appointed bedroom suites.  The master bedroom suite merits individual attention. Approx. 200 square meters in size, it has a large wooden decked balcony on the river front, with a daybed to while the time away.  The bedroom features impressively high high alang-alang ceilings.  At the centre is a 7 foot bed fit for a king, surrounded by romantic netting suspended from the ceiling.  There is a separate study and a seating area, and the bedroom is tastefully furnished with China-inspired antiques from various parts of Indonesia.  The room is equipped with air-conditioning, fans and a TV with a DVD/CD player.  Two of the villa's luxurious bedrooms, one with double beds and the other with two large singles, can be found to the right of the main living pavilion.  They are connected to each other  through a covered walkway, via its own small living area, ideal for a children‘s corner and stocked with children's books and toys.  Another two double bedrooms are found to the left of the main living pavilion. One of these bedrooms is entered through an antique carved Balinese door and has a private wooden-decked balcony overlooking the pleasant river with far reaching views of the rice fields beyond.  The villa offers various spots to catch a few moments of privacy.  The river front bale is an ideal spot for lunch or tea, or to take a nap on its daybed with oversized cushions.  The gazebo is equipped with a fan and a CD player, although the water in the adjacent river may provide exactly the desired background sound.  The massage bale located between the living pavilion and the swimming pool is a great place to fall asleep under a fan after enjoying several hours of spa treatments provided by professionally trained therapists the villa can arrange to pamper their guests during their stay. The villa is staffed complete with its own villa manager, a full time chef, as well as house maids, gardeners and its own security team. All are there to ensure that your stay at Umah di Beji is a most memorable experience and one to which you look forward to return. Fresh food is prepared daily by our trained chef, and can be a simple affair or a grand banquet according to your taste.  Menus are available, but we prefer to tailor make meals by discussing food preferences with our guests. We pride ourselves in our local cuisine, but are equally adept at preparing western dishes to suit your palate.  Fresh produce and drinks are bought either in well-stocked supermarkets or in one of Bali's colourful local markets, and you will only be charged at these prices and the bill presented to you as proof.  The only extra charge would be the modest transportation cost.  Meanwhile, drinks or cocktails  can served all day long by our housemaids, anywhere you wish. Or why not watch our chef prepare your meal and learn the herbs used in our traditional cooking, and you are always welcome to join in the cooking experience...! Our close ties with our local community or Banjar means that guests to our villa can enjoy a traditional dance show by the local children, accompanied by a full Balinese gamelan orchestra for what is a very reasonable fee. All this without leaving the comforts of your villa Umah di Beji is ideally located in the Canggu area of West Bali. The rugged Canggu beach, famed for its magnificent surfing, is a five minutes drive away.  The top restaurants, hotels and shopping areas of Seminyak and Legian can be reached in15 minutes, and the famous Tanah Lot Temple Nirwana Golf course in under 20 minutes.  The cultural centre of Ubud is a pleasant 45 minutes drive through traditional Balinese villages and picturesque countryside.  The airport is approximately 35 minutes away.   Back to previous page
