Villa Klungah Ava

A private gate opens onto a courtyard with a bistro table — the spot for coffee before anyone else is up, and a drink when the day has finished.

Inside is open-plan living, dining and kitchen on one level, with a comfortable lounge and a 42-inch smart TV. The kitchen is genuinely equipped: gas stove, oven, fridge-freezer, kettle and Nespresso machine, with a dining table for four.

Single-level living throughout the main house, which makes it an easy villa to be in.

Two ground-floor ensuite bedrooms, both with king-size beds and hotel-quality linens, wardrobe storage and shelving.

Each ensuite has a stone vanity, bidet spray and walk-in shower.

Both rooms are air-conditioned and close fully — a cool, sealed retreat from the tropics whenever you want one.

The rooftop jacuzzi is the villa's signature, and worth being clear about. It holds a private jacuzzi with open rice-field views, two sun chairs and a small table. It is a cool-water plunge, not a heated hot tub — deliberately so, and a genuine relief in Bali's warmth. Guests who arrive expecting a hot tub are the only ones disappointed; everyone else spends their evenings up there.

Please note: Villa Klungah Ava does not have a swimming pool. The rooftop jacuzzi is its outdoor water feature. If a pool is essential to your stay, one of our other villas will suit you better — and we would rather say so now than have you discover it on arrival.

The courtyard is private and gated, planted and quiet, and the villa opens onto it. Private parking for scooters.

As with all our villas, this one lives open to the Balinese tropics, and the tropics live back — geckos on the walls, considered good fortune here, butterflies through the garden, the occasional ant in the humid months. Every villa and hotel on the island has them. We treat the villa professionally every four weeks, and the bedrooms seal completely.

Tumbuk Bayuh is a peaceful, semi-rural pocket just north of Canggu — open rice fields, quiet lanes and a relaxed local rhythm. It is a step back from the busier streets while staying an easy ride from the cafés, beach clubs, padel courts and surf.

Seseh and Pererenan beaches are around fifteen minutes by scooter, Batu Bolong and Echo Beach roughly twenty. Pererenan and Canggu's cafés, bakeries and restaurants are ten to fifteen minutes, as are the gyms, yoga studios and padel courts around Berawa and Pererenan. Supermarkets and pharmacies are a short ride. Tanah Lot is an easy fifteen-minute run for sunset, and the airport forty-five minutes to an hour depending on traffic.

Mornings here are for slow walks past the paddies. The traffic is light and the days are unhurried — calm without isolation.

All times are approximate and by scooter — Bali's traffic shifts through the day.

Two wheels are the way here. Our own Nusa Havens fleet can be delivered to the gate before you arrive, including licence-free electric vehicles that need no motorcycle permit.

Grab and Gojek run reliably across the area, and a private driver or chauffeured car can be arranged for airport transfers, temple trips or a day further afield.

The surrounding roads are quiet residential lanes with little through traffic, so arrivals and departures are calm. Parking is for scooters — if you are arriving by car or private driver, your Villa Hostess will point you to the nearest easy drop-off, so do let us know your plans.

Check-in from 4:00 PM, check-out by 11:00 AM. Self check-in available, with full details sent before arrival. A valid passport is required for guests aged 18 and over — standard for villa stays in Bali.

Your Villa Hostess welcomes every guest personally. For arrivals after 9:00 PM a small late-welcome fee applies, so she can stay and greet you properly however late your journey.

The rooftop. The jacuzzi is reached by stairs and is unfenced, and there is no swimming pool at this villa. Please take care on the roof terrace, particularly with children, who must be supervised on the rooftop and around the water at all times. A cot and high chair are available on request with notice.

Private leisure stays only — no events or parties, in respect of our neighbours. Smoking in the open courtyard and rooftop only. No security deposit is required; we simply ask that you treat the villa with the care we put into preparing it.

Bali is developing quickly, and building work happens across the island. We chose this rice-field setting for its calm and protect it as far as we can, but we do not control the land around us. Should nearby noise arise, message your Villa Hostess and we will do what we can.
