The Pala Ubud – Villa Agung

The crown jewel of the swanky and luxurious Ubud estate, The Pala, Villa Agung enthrals you the moment you step into its porch via ornately carved wooden gates. A courtyard with lawned gardens along a paved path leads you to the single-pavilion villa, beckoning you to come through its stunning gold, green and red traditional entranceway.

Villa Agung is a sight to behold, furnished lovingly with family heirlooms and priceless artefacts such as furniture gifted to the family by the former President of Indonesia and rare art. Marvel at pieces such as a giant sailboat made entirely with cloves, or a statue of a lady made with coins. Large living areas on two floors allow your group to spread out, and though the villa offers five lavish bedrooms to accommodate up to 10 guests, it never feels crowded.

With four bedrooms furnished with king-sized beds and one with twin beds spread across both levels, there’s plenty of space for everybody. Large windows beckon you towards the balcony which overlooks the generously sized pool and magnificent garden, a great venue for weddings and events. The lower level of the pavilion, which houses an open-plan living and dining area leading onto the garden and pool, is reached via very gentle and comfortable steps, a thoughtful touch to allow multi-generational living.
