Bali Ubud Villas

Originally built as bungalows for their artists, Gaya Villas integrate art with life, luxury on the banks of a river between a gallery and a jungle gorge.

The Italian-Balinese fusion architecture includes marble floors and grass "alang alang" roofs, two shared living areas and a swimming pool with sun-lounge. There are only three villas, each unique, and if you happen to be there during an opening, chances are good that the artist will be staying in one.

Below the pool, overlooking the gorge, is the Spa at Gaya Villas, where one of the most skilled masseuses in Bali can ease your stress with a Balinese, European, or Aromatherapy massage, smooth out long-held knots with acupressure, reflexology and shiatsu, or just pamper you with a Balinese lulur, boreh, coconut, or sea-salt and cucumber scrub, followed by a bath in yoghurt (or milk) and flowers.

The villas include AC, hot & cold water, mini bar, phone, safety-deposit boxes, internet connection, laundry service, daily maid service, 24-hour security, complimentary breakfast, massage in the spa or in your room, fax service, and free transport in Ubud area (shuttle service) and from/to the airport.
