Location Ubud Sayan Ridge with Rice field view and Ayung River
The remarkable town of Ubud is Bali’s centre for fine arts, dance and music. Ever since the German painter, Walter Spies, made his home here in the 1930s, the town has been a haven for both local and European artists, writers and bohemians. Ubud is now a magnet for art collectors, connoisseurs, celebrities, mystics, and people who are actively involved in art, nature, anthropology, music, dance, architecture, environmentalism and alternative healing. Some have even adopted the area as their own home. Meanwhile, the surrounding villages are home to Bali’s most accomplished painters, dancers, musicians and carvers.

Villa Kirana is located on the spectacular Sayan Ridge, surrounded by jungle deep within the heart of Bali, and yet only ten minutes drive from the famous, cultural town of Ubud. The property is perched on the edge of the deep Ayung river gorge, with breathtaking views of emerald rice fields, coconut palms, and lush tropical vegetation against a mountainous backdrop. It is situated 500 metres south of the Four Seasons Ubud Hotel, and just over one hour’s drive from Bali’s international airport.

Setting
The beautiful Villa Kirana, set in a magnificent location in the heart of Bali, provides accommodation for up to ten people, offering a captivating blend of luxury, recreation and privacy. The five bedroom villa, together with its interior and gardens, is a masterpiece, designed by famous landscape architect Made Wijaya and his acclaimed team - including the prominent Balinese architect I Gusti Sarjana - at PT Wijaya. The style is neo-colonial, shaped by the Dutch baronial guesthouses that were to be found in the Malay hill stations. The property was not built for business purposes; instead it is the realisation of a dream, a genuine home, designed to accommodate and fulfil the needs of a western family who take their holidays in Bali. The tranquil gardens cascade into a steep ravine towards the fast flowing Ayung River, and the unbroken views

across the valley of terracedrice fields, verdant jungle and the, sometimes shy, volcanoes are amongs the best in the world.

Living and Dining
Wooden pillars support the thatched roof that extends towards the SALON. The sliding glass doors and louvre shutters in this elegant living room allow cool breezes to permeate during the day giving it the feeling of an open garden room, but the clever design also provides air-conditioned comfort in the evenings. This spacious room comprises a blend of stone and timber, and the two sitting areas each contain a comfortable three-piece suite and coffee table. Paintings by Norbert Ivanyi and Ugo Untoro adorn the walls and a Bose sound system together with a collection of CDs provides the musical entertainment.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Ubud Villa Kirana is arguably one of the most beautiful, fully-appointed four bedroom private rental villas in Bali. It overlooks the Ayung river gorge with breathtaking views of Bali's major volcano range and distant rice field terraces. Villa Kirana is fully staffed with private Balinese chef, Pak Oka who has been hosting guests at this very special rental villa from the date of opening.
