Service with a Smile!
Puri Naga Toya Bali will arrange your complimentary airport transportation to/from the villa. It takes about 2 hours to get from the airport to the villa. The evening you arrive we will serve you a three course local meal so that you can relax and enjoy the first evening of your holiday. Be sure to let us know if there are any restrictions or special requests so that we can plan accordingly.

Wayan Sri is our supervisor and you can discuss any needs or concerns you might have with her. Her English is very good. She is in touch with me daily, and we are both there to help you.

Arrival Experience
The enchantment begins the moment your turn off the pavement into the exclusive area of Buahan. Arrive here and never wander far off the property. Either way, you cannot help but leave differently than you arrive.

Buahan is beautifully located in a tropical cloud forest with Batu Karu mountain range in front - and has always been steeped in mysticism and the awakening of clarity, awe and transformation. Possibly a place where the Phoenix comes to set itself on fire and the unbelievable learn how to become the wind.

Our personal recommendation is that you stay up late counting the stars, wake up early for an unbelievable sunrise and grab a nap in the late afternoon after a day of writing in your journal-

Catching lizards, drinking refreshing smoothies, plan Scrabble, watching clouds, get an in-home massage, read "A Stranger in Paradise", reconnect with your partner, or just take a walk through the rice fields. Before you doze off, grab the binoculars and have a peek at the family of Eagles that live in the cliffs.

-Puri Naga Toya has a complimentary daily shuttle available to drive you to/from Ubud [24 hr notice].

Go to Ubud and do the necessary shopping, or maybe have dinner in Ubud. There is a lot to choose from and by having a drive it is safer.

-We also have an in-house menu which you can order from with a 24-hour notice for an extra cost.

-Self Catered: If you prefer to shop and cook on your own the staff will assist you and clean up afterwards.

-Our staff of 5 will also provide you with daily household cleaning; and are available to assist you with your laundry needs [limit - 3 pieces daily for each person].

-Security is on-site in the evenings.

Luxury while on Holiday
Inside the Villa we have created an elegant and serene sanctuary, combining furniture from around Southwest Asia and curated artwork and details by local and International artists.

All rooms have magical views and terraces to transition you from inside out into the nature. There is no air conditioning because we are cooler in the mountains.

The open dining room has a dining table seating for 8 persons. There are several living areas in the Living Room which you can enjoy and entertain in.

Each of the four bedrooms are individually decorated with exotic and amazing pieces of furniture and artwork collected by the owners in their worldwide adventures.

The gardens, the spring water pool plus the koi pond are gorgeous and well thought out. The combination - crisp clean air to breath and spring water for drinking, bathing and swimming.

Get lost in our Style & Design
“Puri Naga Toya” is an extra large Ubud villa with lots of space! This roomy, super Ubud Villa overlooks the famous Ayung River and is featured in the best-selling book “Gathering places”. Delight your senses with the incredible views of the mountains and the sound of the Ayung River below.

The interior in this residence is a world away from hotel-style luxury, with a private collection of antiques blended with modern amenities and attention to detail. 

Its owners have more than three decades experience in luxury hotel management. This is their sanctuary. Stay at Puri Naga Toya and you'll feel like Balinese royalty.

A private pool and elliptical machine are available for the fitness-minded. Total idleness, however, is certainly not frowned upon; this is the ideal place to read (or write) a book in the private Library, it is our pride and joy. 

Maintained Property
Once you arrive, you will feel the comfort, the tranquility, and the staff's hospitality. Being in the mountains and on the river; you feel the serenity of being upcountry with no big developments, major construction or noisy discos to disturb them here. This is definitely a destination location.

Unlike the beach areas, the greater Ubud area displays famous rice terraces and river crossings surrounded by forests. Coupled with a higher altitude, the overall climate is noticeably cooler than beachside locations in Bali without biting insects.

10 star stay
The staff were the best we ever had while travelling. Their attention to detail and friendliness made our holiday unforgettable. The views were fantastic overlooking the ravine below and the gardens were beautiful. The house itself was full of antiques from all over the world and interior design was amazing. We would recommend this property for service, breathtaking views and total relaxation far from the commercial overcrowded areas in Bali. Would return for a longer stay next time.

Wonderful days in a peaceful house
We had great days in a wonderful house. Beginning from a very lovely welcome over helpful friendly staff til delicious food, everything was great. We also had a Yoga class which was good but really much too expensive, but we haven’t asked for the price before. The houses are decorated with a very good taste and we felt comfortable all the time. Thanks for these beautiful stay

Belle maison mais mal entretenue. La vidéo vend du rêve. MAUVAISE EXPERIENCE
L'endroit est magnifique et la maison très belle mais nous avons rencontré beaucoup de problèmes au cours de notre séjour. 1. Le pavillon extérieur n'est rien d'autre qu'un cabanon avec un grand lit sans armoires de rangement. Mal entretenu, les enfants ont été obligé de le quitter dès la 2ème nuit car il y avait des nids d'où sortaient des insectes volants (sorte d'abeille). On a trouvé le même type de nid dans la salle de bain de la maison principale 2. Aucune intimité dans les chambres. On entend tout quelque soit l'endroit où l'on se trouve. Inutile de venir si vous êtes plusieurs couples! 3. L'intérieur de la maison principale a été envahie le 3ème soir par un essaim d'abeilles (des centaines) or nous avions 2 enfants allergiques aux piqûres d'abeille ! Même le personnel a paniqué. 4. La situation de la maison. Vraiment loin de tout. Soit vous décidez de manger sur place, soit vous devez vous rendre le soir à UBUD (40 à 60 minutes de route). La cuisine préparée sur place est bonne mais vraiment sans plus. Un point positif : la gentillesse du chauffeur. 5. Le petit-déjeuner de base est "pauvre". Les suppléments chers pour le pays ! 6. Nous avons réservé cet établissement sur base de la vidéo croyant avoir un vrai service hôtelier. Nous avons plutôt eu l'impression d'avoir réservé cette maison via AirBnB (armoire occupée, tiroirs pleins). 7. Maison et jardin partiellement entretenus

About the host

Hosted by Pamela J and Royal L. Rowe

Host profile image
Nearly 29 years ago have passed since Royal Rowe decided to leave his native America and take on new properties for Four Seasons Hotel and Resorts [37 years] all over Asia and Africa.

The property took 11 1/2 months to complete. Royal's respect for heritage and craftsmanship is evident in the interior, which is filled with handmade furniture. "Each piece has a story". We recently tore down the Eco-Friendly Bamboo Bedroom and replaced a Glass En-Suite Bedroom in the Garden.

With 29 years of Bali knowledge, the couple created a private residence that offers guests the benefits of local insights and a true understanding of what travelers want.

This secure residence is a luxury sanctuary, an urban residence for leisure travelers who are looking to stay a little longer than usual in Bali, and for those who want to see Bali from a different perspective. Enjoy the island at a pace you wouldn’t in hotels.

The house was designed for spending time "Indoors and Outdoors". The garden surrounds the villa, and offers serval places to enjoy beautiful fresh food. It's a beautiful place for a family gatherings whatever the weather.

Being in the mountains and on the river; you feel the serenity of being upcountry with no big developments, major construction or noisy discos to disturb them here.

The weather in Payangan is cooler, and without the mosquito problems they have in the south.

Why they chose this property

The owners go to their property to be soothed and healed, and to have their senses put in order. The entire interior is infused with a timeless purity that allows it to remain relevant. "it's a universal vision that is above fashion". "From this, new ideas will always surface".

Perhaps most notable is Royal's interest in oriental art and philosophy, which encompasses diverse movements such as Taoism and Zen Buddhism. This is manifested in a collection of serene and understand spaces that were designed of reflection, which embraces transience and imperfection.

Seeing life as it was a hundred years before in a village , exploring our living museums and enjoying our private collections as their very own exceeds expectations.

Villa Puri Naga Toya offers a unique and luxury retreat in the mountains. The modern kitchen is in a separate pavilion. It is available to be rented complete with an English speaking supervisor and staff to help you with your cleaning, cooking and laundry needs.

It is the perfect location to celebrate a "Balinese" wedding ceremony with a loved one - including spa preparations in advance before you make your wedding vows.

What makes this property unique

Stay at Puri Naga Toya and you'll feel like Balinese royalty.
Its owners have more than three decades experience in five-star luxury hotel management. This is a sanctuary to enjoy your family and friends.

The staff at Puri Naga Toya are very well trained and will help you to arrange all of your holiday schedules.
