Villa Awang Awang Ubud Bali
Awang Awang means “floating
in the space between heaven and earth” – the perfect
description for Villa Awang Awang Bali, perched on the edge of a
ravine with breathtaking views of the sacred Petanu river and the
lush tropical forests.
Like many others, we fell in love with the ‘Island
of the Gods’ and her people and feel very privileged to have
been able to lease from the local owners, the land on which to build
this peaceful haven.
Location
Villa Awang Awang Bali is a 50 minutes drive from the airport and
is situated in the cool highlands 5km from Ubud – famous for
its fine art galleries, restaurants and rich cultural life. The
10 minute drive is through stunning scenery of lush ricefields,
mountains and the sacred volcano Gunung Agung towering in the distance.
The House
Villa Awang Awang is designed by Balinese
architect Ir. IB Wiadnyana according to ancient traditions
with the correct alignments toward the Holy Mountain………
Traditional materials are used throughout to harmonize with the
environment – alang alang thatched roofing, hand-made terracotta
floor-tiles, stone and marble, all crafted by local artists. The
house is cooled by fans and natural cross breezes over water gardens.
Entry is via the traditional Balinese gate-way protected by stone
guardians and along a garden path through tranquil lotus and water-lily
filled fish ponds. Antique Javanese doors open onto the main living
area with its soaring alang alang roof and spectacular views from
the open terrace.
Bedrooms
Antique Javanese doors open from the living area to three bedrooms.
The main bedroom contains a queen-sized bed made from old teak wood
and an antique Javanese batik table. A dressing room leads to the
marble bathroom and outdoor garden shower. The second bedroom has
an antique Javanese queen-sized bed while the third contains two
single beds. A large terrazzo and marble bathroom with a deep tub,
outdoor shower and double vanity is shared between the two rooms.
Lower Level
Stairs lead down to the open dining-area, with views across the
lush valley. The dining table is constructed from sections of an
antique Javanese house and comfortably seats up to 10. The kitchen
has granite bench-tops and is well equipped with a refrigerator,
oven, gas cook-top and modern appliances and utensils. Antique Javanese
doors lead to the fourth bedroom which contains a queen-sized bed
and a marble/terrazzo en-suite. Sliding glass doors open onto the
terrace.
Bottom Level
Steps lead down to the sun-deck and the infinity edge swimming pool
with its stunning backdrop of tropical forest.
Furnishings
Villa Awang Awang Bali contains many unique pieces of antique furniture
from Java and Lombok and is decorated with traditional weavings,
carvings, statues and antique shadow puppets. There is a television,
CD player, VCR, DVD and a small collection of CD’S and books.
Night Life
World-famous music and dance performances, jazz cafes and fine restaurants
are just 10 minutes away – at the villa we can only offer
you the sounds of nature, the cascading river, frogs croaking, crickets
chirping and the scent of frangipani and night jasmine.
Due to the open plan of the house, you may see the
glimmer of a fire-fly, hear the call of our beautiful blue and pink
spotted Tokay who resides in the roof or receive the occasional
visit from a frog. If you are not ‘creature-friendly’
this may not be the place for you.
The Village and Staff
Villa Awang Awang Bali is part of the village of Melayang and our
guests are always warmly welcomed at the many temple ceremonies.
Staff can assist you with the sarong and sash required to attend
ceremonies. As in all Balinese houses, the Gods have their home
within our home. Every morning our local priest presents offerings
to the Gods both inside the house and at the various house temples
in the garden. All our staff are from Melayang or the adjacent village
of Bintang Kuning, (Yellow Star.) They are also accomplished carvers,
painters and musicians.
