Seashell chandeliers set the tone for this two-bedroom spiritual oasis which is, according to the expert healers, built on a vortex of good energy and home to many of Villa Kubu’s wellness sessions. A Balian (Balinese spiritual advisor) lived on the land this villa now occupies, thus making it holy. The entrance leads you through a secret garden with a wonderful floral topiary overhanging the stone walkway that guides you towards the large pool and main garden. Daily activity here is focused around the pool. The traditionally thatched gazebo is an ideal niche in which to read, laze or enjoy an afternoon siesta. The indoor-outdoor bathrooms with exposed terracotta roof tiles are replete with over-sized bathtubs built for two. This is romantic escapism at its best.
