About this property

Ubud's Hidden Gem: Experience Luxury in Nature's Lap, Near the gates of Ubud.

Immersed in the tranquil heart of Ubud, the River Moon villa unfolds a sanctuary where contemporary elegance merges with traditional Balinese accents, presenting a captivating two-bedroom haven. Underneath the cooling alang-alang roofs - a homage to Balinese architectural aesthetics - the villa offers a harmonious blend of spaciousness and light. Its rooms, bathed in the soft glow of Bali's tropical sunshine, serve as perfect retreats from the hustle and bustle of the world.

To enhance your connection with Ubud's natural charm, the villa is designed with large windows and sliding doors. These open expanses allow the outdoors to merge seamlessly with the indoors, creating an inviting atmosphere of outdoor-indoor living, where the soft rustle of the breeze and the chirping of the birds become your constant companions.

The bedrooms are epitomes of comfort and tranquility. At the center, comfortable four-poster beds invite you to retreat into a world of relaxation. The beds are outfitted with European inner spring mattresses, and when paired with the plush pillows and goose down duvets, they create a cocoon of comfort that promises serene nights of rest.

Adding to the allure of the bedrooms are the private en suites. One of these features an outdoor bath, letting you indulge in an open-air bathing experience while maintaining an intimate privacy that makes you feel at home. As the wind whispers through the leaves, you can soak in the bath, letting the warmth of the water ease your stresses away.

For those who find joy in creating culinary delights, River Moon provides a well-equipped kitchen. Whether you're preparing a simple breakfast or a lavish dinner, the kitchen offers a space where you can transform fresh ingredients into a meal to remember.

However, the allure of River Moon goes beyond its architectural elegance and creature comforts. One of the most captivating features of the villa is the spectacular view it offers. To the north, a breathtaking panorama of rice fields unfolds, painting a picture of undulating emerald that soothes the eyes. This seascape of greenery is as serene as it is vibrant, reflecting the true essence of Ubud.

To the south, the villa opens up to reveal a private pool, secluded in a corner where you can enjoy a swim without intrusions. Nearby, a meticulously maintained garden rolls gently down to a deck, which stands on the edge of a calm, gurgling river. With comfortable areas both inside and outside the villa, River Moon truly is a haven of relaxation.

Despite its seclusion, River Moon isn't disconnected from the vibrant spirit of Bali. A short 10-minute drive will take you to the heart of Ubud, the island's number two tourist destination. Whether you're craving a meal at a restaurant, eager to explore shopping options, or in need of services, everything is within a convenient distance. And for those with children, the holistic Pelangi School is just a 5-minute drive away.

One of the defining features of River Moon is its deep connection to the local village life. The staff members at River Moon not only hail from the neighboring street, but they were also involved in constructing the house. This lends a unique, personal touch to their services - when they welcome you into the villa, they're welcoming you into a place they helped build.

Even beyond the villa, the village offers a wealth of cultural experiences. Take a stroll, and you can watch villagers laying out offerings, tending to their roosters, or engaged in lively chats. Listen to the innocent laughter of children echoing down the streets, painting a picture of a community that's as welcoming as it is cheerful.

The surroundings of River Moon are a haven for nature lovers. The local flora and fauna add another dimension to your stay. Frogs and lizards, butterflies and herons, dragonflies

Greetings from River Moon, our cherished oasis in enchanting Ubud! Hailing from Helsinki, Finland, our hearts were effortlessly won by Ubud's charm. Over the years, our visits turned into a love affair with this Balinese paradise, leading us to call this paradise our own. The vibrant streets, the intricate temples, the infectious smiles of the locals, and the breathtaking vistas - Ubud had it all, and we yearned to call this paradise our own. River Moon became our dream that turned into reality – a villa embodying our love for Ubud and desire to share its beauty. Today, we're thrilled to invite you to experience the magic of River Moon. Our villa, nestled amidst stunning landscapes, offers a unique blend of comfort, luxury, and Balinese charm. But beyond the physical attributes, River Moon is about immersing in Ubud's soul. It's about feeling the energy of the streets, understanding the sanctity of the temples, experiencing the locals' warmth, and finding beauty in every corner. It's about letting Ubud's essence touch you. As your hosts, our aim is to make your stay memorable. We want you to feel the same connection to Ubud that captivated us, to feel at home in this foreign land, and to leave with a piece of Ubud in your heart, just like we did. Welcome to River Moon. Welcome to Ubud. Welcome to a world of beauty waiting to be explored. Here's to a journey that will surely touch your soul.

Why they chose this property

Our choice for this neighborhood was deeply influenced by its distinctive blend of tranquility and accessibility. River Moon Villa finds itself nestled on the edge of emerald-green rice fields, where uninterrupted views stretch endlessly towards the horizon. Here, the morning sunlight bathes the rice terraces in a divine glow, and twilight paints the skies in hues that inspire the soul. What we adore about this location is the harmony of solitude it offers while being within arm's reach of Ubud's vibrant center. We cherish the solitude, the quiet whispers of the wind that carry the scent of the fields, the gentle rustling of leaves, and the symphony of native fauna that fills the air. Despite its secluded appeal, the villa is just a short drive from the bustling heart of Ubud, offering all its conveniences - from gastronomic delights, to lively markets, to holistic wellness centers. This blend of tranquility and vivacious energy is truly unique to our neighborhood. Moreover, our villa is set within a traditional Balinese village, presenting an authentic window into the Balinese way of life. The peaceful ambiance resonates with the warmth and welcoming nature of the locals, the spirit of their rituals, and the beauty of their daily life woven seamlessly with nature. This neighborhood, with its sublime views, serenity, accessibility, and rich cultural tapestry, creates a perfect setting for River Moon Villa. The delicate balance it maintains between serene rural life and the dynamic pulse of Ubud makes it an experience beyond the ordinary.

What makes this property unique

River Moon Villa possesses several distinctive qualities that set it apart from other properties. The villa's layout is intentionally designed for convenience and proximity, with all rooms located on one level. The bedrooms are situated next to each other, and the interconnecting ensuite bathrooms further enhance the close proximity, ensuring that family members are never far apart. In addition to the family-friendly design, River Moon Villa prides itself on fostering strong connections within the local community.

If desired, we can arrange for Kadek to spend time with your family during your stay, providing a unique opportunity to experience authentic Balinese hospitality. These elements combine to create a truly remarkable experience at River Moon Villa. The family-oriented design and the opportunity to connect with the local community set our property apart, providing a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment for families to create lasting memories.
