Villa Mako blends the luxury and grandeur of traditional Indonesian architecture with the picturesque surroundings of a small Canggu village set above a quiet river valley. This three-bedroom retreat is stately in design, yet warmly decorated with eclectic interiors reflecting the passions and travels of the owners, Balinese and Javanese antiques and a bold use of colour to create a unique and comfortable sanctuary for guests. Owing much to the architecture of traditional Javanese plantation houses, the original colonial design with the high, wooden-strutted ceilings and the use of wide eaves combines with the elevated position of the land, allowing for beautiful breezes and a flooding of natural light.

Comfort and relaxation are the focus of Villa Mako’s plush interiors and furnishings feature oversized sofas, daybeds, poolside loungers and plenty of cushions, so guests will always find a private place for peace and quiet. Featuring a range of indoor and outdoor living and entertaining spaces, including three dining areas, open-plan kitchen, fully equipped media room and large outdoor spaces, Villa Mako is ideal for families or groups of friends. Beyond the main house is a beautifully landscaped tropical garden complete with its own serene temple rolling down manicured lawns to a generously sized swimming pool (with shallow feature suitable for children) and a large outdoor dining pavilion. The garden vista flows onto the tropical jungle canopy outside the villa walls and beyond to the surrounding rice terraces creating a picture-perfect backdrop to the serenity of Villa Mako.

Set well away from Bali’s tourist areas in the tiny village of Tiying Tutul, peaceful Villa Mako sits amid the rhythms of agricultural life and gracefully honours Balinese culture. A warm and dedicated team of staff including villa manager, chef, housekeepers, gardener, pool attendant and security will attentively and discretely cater to guests’ every whim to ensure your perfect Bali holiday.
