Villa Sati
Ubud Bali Villas | 1 Bedroom Villa

The word “Sathi” is taken from the Buddhist word for ‘mindfulness’. It is a magnificent hideaway. Villa Sati sets within rural Bali and appears to float upon the encompassing rice field of the legendary Ubud. This one-bedroom hideaway, complete with plunge pool, can be rented independently or as an annex to the neighboring Villa Vajra.

Villa Sati sets within rural Bali and appears to float upon the encompassing rice field of the legendary Ubud. This one-bedroom hideaway, complete with plunge pool, can be rented independently, or as an annex to the neighboring Villa Vajra. Villa Sati is located in the quiet village of Sebali in the district of Kaliki, an area of traditional rice fields and tree-filled ravines which have been carved by rivers racing through fertile volcanic soil. The Villa is one hour and 15 minutes’ drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport, about ten minutes from the town of Ubud. Its central location makes it convenient for touring the island. Situated 300 meters above sea level in the foothills of the central mountain range, the region boasts a fresher, more pleasant climate than the southern coastal regions.
 
This one bedroom plus hideaway, complete with plunge pool, takes its name from the Buddhist concept of “mindfulness”. It can be rented independently or in conjunction with Villa Vajra.

Villa Sati is comprised of two thatched pavilions set within a courtyard and linked by a pool deck. Featuring an abundance of teakwood and glass, the property presents stunning views of the rice fields, affording guests the opportunity to witness time-honored methods of agriculture. The villa has been lovingly furnished by the owners with custom designed furniture.

An arch of giant bamboo and an elaborate, traditional Balinese gateway marks the entrance to Villa Sati. This private, walled enclave on the grounds of Vajra Villas is comprised of two thatched-roof pavilions bordering a courtyard, a small garden and a pool. The main two-storey pavilion is a jewel-like marriage of wood and glass offering stunning panoramic views of the rice fields, allows for an appreciation of the complexity and beauty of time-honored practices of rice farming. The area is also a birdwatchers’ paradise, and in every direction laid an invitation to leisurely exploration. The caring staffs provide a glimpse into the gentle Balinese spirit, fulfilling their duties with enthusiasm and ready smiles.

Living & Dining Room
The air-conditioned downstairs living-dining room performs merbau wood floors with stone borders, and contemporary upholstered furniture of teak wood and rattan. Small bronze statues and artifacts reflect the serene ambience of the villa. The desk overlooks the rice fields as does the dining table, which is set in its own bay window; the cushioned bench seat invites lounging, reading, bird-watching or daydreaming. A teak unit houses a multi-channel satellite flat screen TV, DVD player and quality sound system. The DVD library offers a wide selection for movie viewing.

Kitchen & Food
Smoked glass doors slide open to reveal a small, fully-equipped kitchen where guests are free to practice their own culinary skills. The in-house cook will prepare your complimentary breakfast. A special treat is fresh fruit, much of which is picked from the villa gardens, which will appear as a coconut covered array or in the form of freshly blended nectar. On request, Villa Sati’s talented chef can prepare a wide selection of exquisite Balinese specialties and delicious Western dishes. A separate staff entrance ensures privacy when guests wish not to be disturbed.

Upstairs Convertible Loft
A merbau wooden staircase rises from the living room to a cozy air-conditioned loft room that serves as a sitting/study room. Two deeply cushioned sofas can also serve as twin beds or converted into a queen-sized bed when needed. Three walls of screened glass windows offer expansive views of the surrounding rice fields. A telescope is positioned to magnify the panorama and the tropical vegetation of the adjacent river valley. Midway down the staircase, the guest bathroom has the requisite shower, wash basin and toilet – all with a view!

Bedroom & En-Suite Bathroom
Across the courtyard is the northern pavilion with a soaring intricately thatched roof. Sliding glass doors lead directly from the pool deck into the spacious air-conditioned bedroom furnished with a canopied queen-sized bed. A custom-made teak fitted wardrobe houses a personal safe deposit box. The inviting décor, with its merbau floor bordered by black stone has a luminous deep purple wall which is interrupted by recessed lighting niches. It is enlivened by five shimmering golden paintings by a local Ubud artist. The elegant furnishings also include cushioned water-hyacinth chairs and a table where your breakfast can be served. Stereo speakers bring music from the sound system in the living room.

The en-suite open-air bathroom is a thrilling counterpoint. It is dominated by an over-sized Jacuzzi bathtub under a flowered pergola of cascading thunbergia, bordered by thriving yellow bamboo, orchids, ferns and elephant ears. The washbasin is hand-sculpted from natural river stone, and the shower is contained within a spacious glass cubicle. As throughout the villa, colourful original artwork enhances the experience.

Plunge Pool & Courtyard
Sheltered within the textured stone walls is a small garden of tropical flowering trees and plants, together with a cornflower blue tiled plunge pool – 6.2 X 3.3 meters in size and 1.5 meters deep. The pool is fed by water cascading down a rock wall. Beneath it a sitting ledge invites a refreshing water massage after a busy day of visiting the island. The surrounding timber deck and courtyard is furnished with sunbeds. A dining area is shaded by its own flower-draped pergola which is ideal for barbecues and al fresco dining. In the centre of the garden stands a tall Neolithic stone ‘guardian’ pillar from the Indonesian island of Flores.
