Ubud Villa 357

Villa 357 is a privately owned, but professionally managed, luxury villa retreat that is available for rental when its owner is not in Bali.

It is located down a narrow, private drive in a traditional Balinese village, a few minute drive from Ubud. The private, walled compound is perched on the edge of the famous Sayan Ridge with spectacular views across the gorge to terraced rice fields, an active Balinese temple, and views to the volcanoes beyond. You will see the farmers planting, cultivating, and harvesting their rice crop and you will hear the haunting sounds of traditional chants and music drifting across the valley from the temple. You will find yourself surrounded by the peace, beauty, and magic of traditional Bali.

Villa 357 is nestled into the natural hillside amongst fruit trees, tropical plants and flowers. You enter the walled villa compound from the parking area through an antique entrance gate, and follow a path through the garden, past the temple, down stone steps, and over a small fish pond at the main villa entrance.

The villa is furnished with Indonesian antique furniture and artifacts, hand woven textiles and local Balinese crafts The entrance foyer's stone stairs lead down to a spacious, open-air, traditional Balinese style living and dining pavilion with alang-alang roof.
