Bali Villas hotel and other Ubud Accommodation

The never ending interest in and desire of foreign visitors to travel to Bali is due to many, varied reasons. The island has a unique cultural experience and more than 1,400 years of history with elaborate temples, rich traditions and the interesting customs. Fascinating dress, rituals, food, religion, music and art are a big part of the allure of Bali. Bali is very distinct from other parts of the world and offers a vacation experience like no other.

The pretty and varied geography is also a major attraction. Beautiful beaches, boating, fishing, diving and surfing are a big draw. In the interior of the island we can see incredible terrain, amazing rice terraces, stunning volcanoes, rivers, valleys and waterfalls. We know that the wide variety of fun and interesting activities all over the island are also a powerful incentive for travelers to visit Bali.

In particular, in and around Ubud, the climate is perfect for a mild, yet tropical, atmosphere that is generally warm and wet, but can also be cool and fresh. The soil is fertile and the land verdant.  Torrential afternoon rains highlight beautiful, sunny days and make way for bright, starry nights. Ubud is a place where people can see a bit of man’s age-old interaction and balance with the natural environment.

Lush rice fields, abundant fruit trees, pigs, chickens, ducks and cows flourish here.Food and fresh water is relatively easy to obtain which makes life relaxed and blessed at the same time. The people here have known the rich harvest and providence of this remarkable land for millennia. This has allowed the people of Ubud to develop a unique cultural experience and evolve differently than those in other islands and in other nations.
A trip to Ubud, Bali, Indonesia is a treat for anyone. There are few locations on Earth that can provide such an interesting landscape, people, food and host of fun and education activities for everyone in the family. Paris, Las Vegas, Hawaii, Barcelona and other famous vacation spots are also lovely and worth a trip, but Ubud, Bali is dynamic and special.

The hotels, resorts, villas and other Ubud accommodation are varied and high quality. There are romantic getaways as well as modern, budget hotels. Ubud has bungalows and cottages and also private luxury villas. The private luxury villas in Ubud are one way to experience the comfort and amenities you would expect in your own home, but in a foreign country. An Ubud villa is a perfect place for a couple or family to have some peace and quiet, but also convenience, comfort and enjoyment.

In fact, Bali villas are a unique type of accommodation in the world. They are self-contained miniature homes with a private pool and complete facilities. Moreover, Bali Villas run the entire gamut in price from super expensive to downright cheap!

If you have a special diet or specific culinary needs you can prepare your own meals in the fully-equipped villa kitchen. Alternatively, you may invite a skilled chef into your borrowed kitchen as well. If you need to stay connected to the outside world most luxury villas in Bali offer HD Television sets with international satellite cable channels, newspapers as well as access to high-speed Internet that can support video chat.
Villa Amrita is one of the many exceptional villas in Ubud. You can get it all here. You are close enough to the boutique shopping, haute cuisine and exciting entertainment of the cosmopolitan enclave of Ubud to get there in a short, scenic 10-minute drive, but far enough away to experience the unparalleled beauty, fresh air and water and quiet of the peaceful countryside.

If you need to have a large private party for a group of very important guests or just candlelight dinner for two, Villa Amrita can provide it. You can go on leisurely walks, bike rides or explore the nearby villages. There are many places to go and see nearby Ubud as well. You can visit an organic farm, ride an elephant, go white water rafting or have a cappuccino while staring across a wide expanse of incredible, jade green rice terraces.

Exceptional luxury villa in Ubud Bali in Indonesia

One of the greatest aspects of building an exceptional luxury villa in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia is the wonderful and convenient access to a massive variety of high quality international cuisine. You can find dishes from just about everywhere on Earth with fabulous examples of Italian, Thai, Indian, Japanese, Mexican, American and French cooking readily available. You can find great food in a lot of big cities, but Bali is surprising, and Ubud in particularly, in that it offers some of the tastiest and most varied dining in Asia.

Realizing that fantastic natural beauty, quiet, comfort and luxury are only part of the equation that makes an Ubud, Bali villa attractive and successful, Villa Amrita has continued to up-its-game with improvements to its culinary offerings. In addition to a lovely, little menu of classic Balinese and Indonesian foods such as fried rice, noodles, slow-roasted duck and broiled pork we have decided to add a proper gas BBQ grill.
Villa Amrita has purchased a brand new, high quality western-standard gas grill to provide a new element of culinary option to our guests. The choice to use our gas barbecue grill is something that has been welcomed and received with great pleasure and excitement. There are endless combinations of yummy foods we can create with such a device. American and Australians might indulge in steaks, whilst our European and Asian guests may opt for grilled fish, calamari and prawn.

What’s more, the close proximity of the fully-stocked international standard Bintang supermarket just 8 to 10 minutes’ drive from Villa Amrita, gives our guests many great options for lunch and dinner. Nice filet mignon, rib-eye and other fresh meats are available. Cooking up a great big beef burger with cheddar cheese and fresh, organic lettuce and tomato on multi-grain buns would be a perfect evening in while playing in the pool and listening to music under the stars.

A trip to the Bintang supermarket is great to get munchies, alcohol, meats, veggies, fruits, cheeses and much more at reasonable prices. Bring your take back to Villa Amrita and indulge yourself.
Grabbing some salmon steak from nearby fresh fish supplier Sakanaya is also an attractive choice. Shrimp, lobster, crab, squid and more are all just within a short drive. The addition of a proper gas BBQ grill allows Villa Amrita to offer something other Ubud accommodation may or may not be able to match. The flexibility, low cost and ease of fixing a barbecue meal is something that makes Amrita an exceptional villa in Bali.
On a snorkeling outing at a nearby white sand beach in the turquoise waters  of Padang Bai, guests can pick up a cheap tuna fish freshly caught by local fisherman. Upon return to Villa Amrita, our chefs can create a lovely basting sauce, with lemon, garlic and chili to make the fish come out great! Combine this tasty meal with one-of-a-kind ice cold Bintang beer (made by Heineken) or a gin and tonic and you will create an unforgettable vacation evening.

No matter where in Bali your luxury villa is at, access to  nice, cheap food while on vacation is something that we cannot be without. A Bali resort would not be able to provide you with something as savory and satisfying as having your own chef and BBQ grill at your beck and call. Villa Amrita is looking to raise the bar among Ubud accommodation to create lasting memories for a loyal following of discerning, repeat guests.

Bali Villas - Villa Amrita Extraordinary Ubud Villas

It has been less than 6 months since Villa Amrita formally opened for business and it has been a really exciting, interesting and fun process. I think it would be fair to say that managing our dream accommodation is also a lot of work. One might call it a labour of love. The fact is, there is a lot to consider and a lot to learn.

The quite warm reception we have had so far from our guests has been encouraging. We knew the land and the design were going to be special, but we never knew exactly what Villa Amrita had the potential to become. Through a lot of research, learning and discovery about Bali, Ubud and the visitors coming here we have discovered that Villa Amrita is a truly unique property in Ubud.

We have explored the entire area around Ubud and have seen and toured a plethora of hotels, including villas and other styles and levels of accommodation. We now know that Villa Amrita is one-of-a-kind and nearly in a class by itself. If we had not taken the time to explore this market we would not know that one, three-bedroom villas in Ubud are a fairly limited product and, two, that Villa Amrita is definitely one of the best-of-breed in this area.

When first building Villa Amrita we spared no cost and had envisioned something done to a standard that would even surpass or impress our own eye for quality and comfort. The location is close enough to Ubud to have easy access to the fine restaurants, shops and entertainment there, yet far enough away to enjoy the utter peace and freshness of the lovely rural community that is just a short drive, but, seemingly, a world away.
