Villa Candi Kecil Empat is your 1400sqm slice of paradise located in the very traditional village of Pejeng, a short drive from Ubud. In addition to it’s secluded and serene location, the lavish private garden and pool with alfresco dining area helps create the a retreat-like atmosphere. The two level pavilion comes with all modern features but still keeps its island charm with the tasteful Indonesia artifacts. The first thing you’ll notice when you arrive is the Balinese style wooden door leading to the garden. An Instagram moment if you’ve ever seen it. The garden with its koi fish ponds, fountains and tantalising pool – with shallow area – welcome you to the villa. Around the pool is the stone deck with reclining chairs shaded by a large white parasol. And for even more room and shade why not try the thatched roof gazebo. Make your way to the end of the pool, near the fountain and you’ll find your alfresco dining area – how very tropical. Inside the living pavilion, the free-flowing design and high ceilings give you a real sense of space. And the tall glass sliding doors allow not only for great views but also for the sunlight to stream in. The mixture of teak wood, rattan and bamboo together with primitive artwork and sculptures really adds to the island feel. If you fancy it there's a TV lounge, but also plenty of other social spaces when you just want to reconnect. Making your way to the second floor you’ll find a large open space for yoga, meditation or just hanging out. This area is simply furnished with hand-woven carpets and bean bags, giving it a free and easy feel.

Bedrooms

When it comes to the bedrooms, the floor to ceiling glass doors allow an impressive view of the garden from all four air conditioned rooms. Each of them has a tastefully draped mosquito net over either the double or twin bed, together with a wooden closet and safety deposit box. The ensuites boast an open-air shower to give that island feel. Great for families - two of the rooms are interconnected. You’ll find a bathtub in the master room that offers fantastic views of the garden. The small details have been taken care of too, with the bathrooms coming fully stocked with delightful toiletries for your stay.
