JENDELA DI BALI near UBUD | "An astonishing adventure" "A Hollywood set" | *****

"Jendela di Bali is an astonishing adventure, a memorable stay, a place that can only be recreated on a Hollywood set." - Juliette, Belgium
------------

Jendela di Bali is a unique private villa in the foothills near Ubud that delivers you from the tourist throng and offers you a window onto an ancient culture.

The villa is like a 'village' of unique living spaces including a lounge/dining bale, media entertainment/massage/meditation bale, two romantic guest bedroom bales and a stunning wet edge pool, all set in over 2200sqm of tropical parkland gardens on the edge of a jungle gorge.

Surrounded by rice paddies and sacred villages, you are close to Ubud for dining and entertainment but far enough away to immerse yourself in traditional Balinese culture. This is a special place for those who love artistry, value authenticity and seek serenity with style.

Jendela di Bali suits those who seek a window onto a living, evolving culture. You are not isolated from real life nor are you wedged within a tourist hotspot. You are close enough to Ubud's dining, art and culture, real coffee and fine dining when you want it, but far enough away to escape. The sounds you will hear are of authentic village life: the sacred, the industrious, the ebb and flow from sunrise to sunset. Nothing you will see or hear is put on for tourists. It is all genuine.

There is even a hammock strung between a circle of palm trees to settle into and read and relax.

THE GARDENS

Jendela di Bali lies alongside an ancient gorge several stories deep. This natural amphitheater forms a protective habitat for plants and wildlife. Our villa gardens extend this natural habitat by a further 2200 sqm's, providing ponds and fountains for the enjoyment of birds, butterflies and guests alike.

CAR & DRIVER - Whilst staying you may want to visit some of the many fascinating religious, cultural and natural sites near the villa and you will also want to go into Ubud for shopping, cultural performances, etc. At any time during your stay you will have the option to book a car + driver at a reasonable rate with 24 hours notice by telling the villa staff who will liaise with our office.

SUITABILITY FOR CHILDREN & ACCESSIBILITY - Because of our setting on the edge of a very deep gorge and the changing levels of the property young children under the age of 8 need to be supervised at all times. The elderly will need to be sure footed and confident and the property is not wheelchair accessible.

NON-SMOKING - Please note we are strictly a non-smoking property both inside and outside.

RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES & YOUR STAY - Almost every day on Bali there are religious ceremonies. These can be temple events, weddings, cremations, tooth filing ceremonies, full moon rituals and many more. Some of these are at night and involve music and chanting. Jendela di Bali is located at the top of a sacred, high caste village and during your stay you will almost certainly hear these events. Only very occasionally these will occur late into the night but they are a possibility so we warn guests so you can be aware. Some are suitable for guests to ask to attend and others are sacred, holy and thus not suitable to attend. Please ask the staff for advice on attending local ceremonies and be guided by them. We provide the suitable temple/ceremony clothing required to be worn – ask the staff for assistance.

THE ESSENCE OF JENDELA DI BALI

Imagine a unique property along a tropical forested gorge, at the top of one of Bali's rare, high caste sacred villages. Nearby, rice fields create a patchwork of verdant green and gold.

With a tasteful blend of traditional Bali and Java colonial styles, Jendela di Bali offers a sense of place and spirit that sets it apart.

The sounds you will hear are not those of silence. The sounds you will hear are of authentic village life: the sacred, the industrious, the ebb and flow from sunrise to sunset and, on religious occasions, evenings as well. Nothing you will see or hear is put on for tourists. It is all genuine.

Distant laughter, chanting, traditional Gamelan orchestras emanating from temples and homes, people bathing, harvesting rice, carving – these are the sounds of people worshiping, creating and living, the sounds of a people in constant motion, whose every act is a crescendo toward worshiping their gods.
Wafts of incense, aromas from temple feasts, sweet frangipani and the blinking of fireflies at night blend into an unforgettable backdrop to the Jendela di Bali experience.

Jendela di Bali suits those who seek a window onto a living, evolving culture. You are not isolated from real life nor are you wedged within a tourist hotspot. You are close to Ubud's dining, art and culture, real coffee and fine dining when you want it but far enough away to escape.

Step outside the Villa gate and you can stroll through endless rice fields or wander villages famed for their wood carving. Within a short drive are dramatic rivers, some of Bali's most famous sacred temples, relic sites and steaming volcanoes. And if your timing is lucky, you might even be able to witness a local ceremony.
Rather than luxury, we offer style. We also offer heartfelt, unrehearsed hospitality from staff who live in the local village. Their languid pace of life revolves around devotion to their gods and sharing their culture with you.
Jendela di Bali will not suit those who seek total silence or crave constant entertainment, nightlife and crowds.

Wonderful stay!
We spent 4 nights at Jendela Di Bali and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Days Made and Dayu Suci were wonderful hosts. We hadn’t expected to be so far from Ubud and the travel time was a little unexpected, on one occasion it took us nearly one and a half hours to get back to the villa from central Ubud!! The villa itself was wonderful and a perfect escape. We will certainly recommend to family and friends.

Gorgeous property with wonderful hosts
This property is stunning! Totally private with well manicured gardens. The sleeping bales with so cool , you felt like you were in the jungle but with all the hotel amenities. The sounds of the birds and animals were so peaceful. The pool was beautiful, a tad cold but well kept. The best part about our stay was Dayu Made and her team. Truly wonderful, caring people. They were so helpful and wanted to please. Her cooking was outstanding and the service was excellent. Our driver was also warm and so helpful. All of them truly made our experience more special, they treated us like family! Would love to come back! Thank you!!

A beautiful surrounding with excelent staff
A really beautiful surrounding with verry friendly and excelent staff that made us feal right at home. They were really good chefs with excellent meals. Specialy liked the Ginger chicken ! Even the hired drivers were friendly and helpfull with info and tips over Bali. One remark has to been made, because due to traffic and infra structure it is always a long drive to get where ever you want to go! A special thanks to Agus from the booking office,with getting our lost luggage back on time after some difficulties with the Airline. I would recomment this beautiful plece to everyone ! With love and greatings to Dayu and Seuatine! Maya, Frank ,Lion and Edwin

About the host

Hosted by Our Reservation Managers at Individual Bali Hospitality

Host profile image
The owners created this property by hand over 10 years, working with Balinese artisans and craftspeople to create a 'village' of unique living spaces. They are passionate about traditional architecture, arts, tropical gardens and the local culinary flavours. Their goal was to create a window on Bali, which is expressed in the name 'Jendela di Bali'. The real story is not the owners but our wonderful staff (Dayu Made and Suertini, pictured, and their team) who live in the local village and whose languid pace of life revolves around devotion to their gods and sharing their culture with you.

Why they chose this property

The owners wanted to create a secluded hideaway that was close enough to Ubud for coffee and cake, dining, dance performances, galleries and more - yet far enough away to be a real retreat from other tourists. The goal was to find a place that would allow our friends, family and guests to discover the genuine Balinese way of life.
Our beautiful staff lovingly prepare a menu of simple but delicious Balinese and Indonesian-inspired meals for guests. Unlike many villas, we can offer all meals (breakfast is included in the rate and a menu offers lunch and dinner selections at a modest additional cost). We understand your desire to enjoy local flavours adjusted to western taste as well as the importance of quality and cleanliness in the fresh foods we present. We can cater in a modest and understanding way to special dietary needs, including gluten free and vegetarian cuisine with advance notice.

What makes this property unique

The highlights are being located along a beautiful gorge for nature, near a sacred village for the insights into the religion, near to Ubud for indulgence and entertainment and set in the heart of Bali near some of the island's most significant and holy temples and relic sites. Most important to us however is how real and genuine the setting is - this is not a tourist enclave, it is not a hushed monastery, this is genuine rural Balinese life with all its sights, sounds, activity. We like to say Jendela di Bali is 'a place in the heart of Bali to discover Bali's heart'. We hope you'll join us and let our wonderful staff pamper you and share a little of their culture with you.
