Built on approx. 3,000 square metres of land, the villa design is centred around an impressive 15m X 5m black lava stone swimming pool fronting the river, which rises up towards the sky as if to invite the gods themselves to bathe. The use of the lava stones permits the creation of a mirror to reflect the sky and villa surroundings in the clear water. As befits its name, water features significantly in this villa design. Several small ponds and fountains can be found within the landscaping. Wherever one chooses to relax in this home’s numerous idyllic spots, sounds of trickling water seduces the senses.

The proximity of the river front bale and its sound system means that music can be enjoyed while splashing in the pool or simply while sun bathing on loungers on the pool deck.

We pride ourselves in our local cuisine, but are equally adept at preparing western dishes to suit your palate. Fresh products and drinks are bought either in well-stocked supermarkets or in one of Bali’s colourful local markets, and you will only be charged at these prices and the bill presented to you as proof. The only ‘plus plus’ charge would be the modest transportation cost. Meanwhile, drinks or cocktails can served all day long by our chambermaids, anywhere you wish. Or why not watch our chef prepare your meal and learn the herbs used in our traditional cooking, and you are always welcome to join in the cooking experience...! Equally, Umah di Beji is ideally located for the restaurant areas of Seminyak and Legian 15 minutes away.
