Picture yourself on a hill called ‘Gunung Sari’, near Ubud, the cultural and culinary heart of Bali. A luxury holiday in a design hotel. Is that what you had in mind for your next holiday? Listening to the sounds of the tropical night and the distant rhythms of the gamelan, the hectic city life and the busy beaches are far away. You have entered one of the newest Ubud hotels. While the sun sets in
a sea of whispering green, the garden is lighted discretely. The evening air is full of floral perfumes. How about a refreshing dive in the infinity pool before dinner? When does your partner’s Balinese massage finish? The spa surely looks inviting. It will feel good to return to Villa Sabandari after a sightseeing trip or a shopping spree in Ubud. You will love the personal service and the cozy atmosphere. Villa Sabandari offers a breathtaking view of the rice fields that surround Ubud. Yet you can walk to the centre of town in no time. Bali is known as the 'Island of the Gods'. No wonder the Masceti temple is one of the hotel's neighbors and that from the open living room, you can see a small forest temple, at the other side of the rice field. This intimate boutique hotel has been designed by Joost van Grieken, the famous Dutch architect and long time Bali resident. Joost is well known for his delicate combinations of western style elements and Balinese architecture. We have chosen to use local materials whenever possible. White wonosari stone from East Java, bankyrai wooden floors, wooden shingles and alang-alang grass for the roofs, red Lombok stone for decorative walls. The bath tub in the Spa has been carved out of a massive rock. Relax in a Bali accommodation that feels like your private Bali villa.
