4 Bathrooms Villa Aalaya is a four-bedroom villa in Ubud built from three restored teak pavilions by Steve and Renée Munroe. The 350-square-meter home sits on 700 square meters of land, with an infinity pool facing rice fields. A bamboo grove and fire pit anchor the garden, with 40-foot ceilings in the bedroom pavilion. Syrco Basé is roughly a 5-minute drive. Ubud Palace and Ubud Art Market are about seven minutes. Fast Wi-Fi, 24-hour guest support, and concierge services throughout.
Aalaya (Sanskrit for "home") is arranged across three teak pavilions, each built for a different part of the stay. The Joglo, Limasan, and Gladak each serve a distinct role, from cooking to sleeping to private retreat.
• Joglo pavilion with an open-air kitchen and dining table facing the rice fields.
• Master suite with a king bed on a tatami platform and two bathrooms, one with a sunken tub.
• Second bedroom with twin beds; third with a custom double and optional pull-out single, sharing a glass-roof bathroom with a two-person jacuzzi tub.
• The Gladak suite with its own outdoor bathroom, veranda, air conditioning, and mini fridge.
• Curved infinity pool facing rice fields and the jungle gorge.
• In-ground trampoline and a fire pit.
• Gardens with mature trees and a bamboo grove.
• Private driveway and parking, 100 metres off the main village road.
Aalaya suits a large family or group of friends who want shared space plus one private retreat within it.
We are a part of the village of Petulu, one of the seven core communities (Banjars) that make up the small town of Ubud.
We are surrounded by lush jungle and a small river that meanders past our infinity pool. Ubud itself is rich with restaurants, small boutiques, galleries, museums and all manner of wellness studios.
