Villa Aalaya (Sanskrit for “Home”) is a stunning teak-wood retreat made up of three authentic Javanese structures — each thoughtfully designed to reflect tradition, comfort, and family living amidst Ubud’s lush greenery.
Highlights:
• The Joglo — the heart of the home, featuring an open-air kitchen, dining area, and living space that overlook the forest, gorge, and rice fields. A 4m teak dining table makes it perfect for group dinners and long conversations.
• The Limasan — a majestic private space with three bedrooms, a cozy TV lounge, library, and two lofts (office & sacred space). The soaring 40-foot ceilings and grand timber beams create a breathtaking sense of openness.
• The Gladak — a fully self-contained teak suite with private outdoor bathroom, veranda, air conditioning & mini fridge—ideal for guests seeking extra privacy.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms:
• Master suite with a king-sized bed on a tatami platform and two bathrooms, including one with a sunken tub and separate shower
• Two additional bedrooms: one with twin beds, another with a custom double bed plus an optional pull-out single — both sharing a glass-roof bathroom with an outdoor shower and a two-person jacuzzi tub
Outdoor Features:
• Curved infinity pool overlooking rice fields and the jungle gorge
• Trampoline built into the ground & a fire pit for family evenings under the stars
• Lush gardens with towering trees and a bamboo grove for a true tropical retreat
• Private driveway, ample parking & peaceful location 100m off the main village road
Villa Aalaya is just 1.4km from central Ubud, close to the Botanical Gardens and the local gym — combining convenience with absolute serenity. Managed by a dedicated team and fully serviced, this family-built home welcomes guests to experience the warmth, beauty, and heart of Ubud living.
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.
Our neighbour village, JungJungan, about 5 minutes up the road, is famous for its performances of the Kecak Dance.
You will still see local people doing daily ceremonies in our village and in our home, and will hear the vibrant birdsong of the jungle almost continuously. It is a peaceful, playful, healthy and kind part of Bali, far from the party hubs of the south.
