Welcome To Villa Amala
At Amala we hope that you will enjoy the comfort of a home away from home, combined with the level of service and facilities to match any luxury hotel.
The construction team was headed by one of Bali’s most experienced builders with an extensive background in luxury villa construction with an eye for detail that is second to none. The project management was personally handled by a Western builder and quantity surveyor with 20 years experience in high end construction in the tropics
Location
Amala is situated on the edge of a padi field, overlooking the river Wos. It
sits between the villages of Sebali and Keliki , in the province of Tegallalang, Ubud. It is an hour’s ride from Bali’s Ngurah Rai airport,
and only a 15 minute car ride from the famed centre of art and culture – Ubud.
Staying in Ubud is a unique experience. Ubud offers a stay punctuated with the simple
pleasures of watching her children practice their dancing or gamelan playing at the temple; craftsman patiently honing their talents; farmers chasing their herd of ducks down the streets. A stay in Ubud
offers the delight of appreciating all that surrounds you in daily life in Bali.
The Villa
Situated on 2400 sq metres of land, Amala is surrounded by padi fields on the edge of a valley overlooking the river Wos.
Amala in Sanskrit means purity. During your stay at Amala, you will discover
this purity in the surrounding landscape and way of life that surrounds
the Villa. The charm of the padi fields of Keliki is mesmerising; and
the soft murmur of the river Wos in the valley below calming. To top
all this, the enchanting sunsets across the horizon of Ubud are
unforgettable.
With five ensuite guestrooms, it can accommodate up to 10 people comfortably.
Made up of two houses connected by a walkway, the main house overlooks
the 20m pool and padi fields, while the valley house sits on the edge
of a ridge which over looks the lush valley of the river Wos.
The
layout of Amala allows two families with children to holiday very
comfortably and with enough living areas to afford adequate privacy.
Alternatively it is also a suitable get-away for 4–5 couples to “chill
out” in the peaceful and harmonizing atmosphere of Sebali.
The main house contains a open dining area and large daybed overlooking the
20m pool and padi fields. It also houses the library, kitchen, a powder
room and on the second level the master bedroom. The Master bedroom has
a spacious veranda with two daybeds at each end. It is one of two rooms
in the estate that has an exposed alang alang roof. The bathroom
contains a bathtub cum shower and also an outdoor shower on the
terrace.
The valley house has a open living area on the top floor with wide open verandas for
dining al fresco. It also boasts a immense alang alang roof. Below this
are two guest rooms sharing a veranda that overlook the valley. Both
rooms are ensuite with partial outdoor showers and baths.
On
the ground level of the valley house there is a second master bedroom
with a indoor bath and shower overlooking the valley as well as a
outdoor shower in its own private garden.
Next
to this is the TV room with a projector and screen to watch movies or
catch the latest news on satellite TV. Alternatively this room is
easily converted into another guest room with ensuite bathroom. A
veranda fronts these two rooms and allows guests to walk out to the
valley garden or have breakfast with the morning sun rising over the
valley. A bale sits at the edge of the garden overlooking the valley
and rice terraces.
