Ubud, Bali
Summer Moon is a beautiful private villa nestled in village rice fields, 10 minute drive to central Ubud entertainment, shopping, yoga, art and diverse culinary cuisines.
Sensitively designed by a resident Dutch couple using local materials and techniques, this dream-getaway comfortably sleeps 6 guests (and a baby/toddler cot). All 3 bedrooms feature aircon and luxurious four-poster king-sized beds draped romantically with netting, European mattresses, natural down feather pillows and bed covers.
From the secluded upstairs bedroom and private yoga-sunbathing terrace you will catch glimpses of Mount Agung, the sacred centre of Bali, as it drifts in and out of clouds. In the morning you will hear the quacking ducks being let out into the rice fields as the sun rises through the coconut palms which line your private river.
All rooms have ceiling fans, and the Balinese alang-alang (grass) thatched roofs are built to maximize the natural flow of air, capturing beautiful cool breezes. The three indoor-outdoor bathrooms, one with a bathtub, are a real highlight with beautiful local stone tiles and tropical flowers growing beside your shower. Fresh bath linens and flowers add to the air of quiet luxury.
If you feel like cooking Summer Moon has a fully equipped kitchen including a large refrigerator if you need to store special foods or medicines, and our local in-villa Chef, Wayan Suriani is delighted to cook for guests on request with 24 hour notice as well as provide traditional Balinese cooking class for our guests.
With many sites to see in Bali, Summer Moon offers the perfect getaway for those lazy days in-between when a good book and a refreshing swim overlooking the rice fields can offer some much needed peace. The sunsets are always spectacularly different with light shows that never disappoint.
If you want to mix with other guests in the area, there is a larger 14 meter shared pool that includes a shallow wading area for children and sun deck. Or you can wander the rice paddies, enjoying the relaxed, friendly ambience of village life.
We have a dedicated driver, Nyoman, who can be scheduled 24 hours in advance for Ubud outings or longer day tours anywhere on the island that your imagination can take you. We can also reserve a motor scooter at very reasonable rates prior to your arrival.
Note*
Along with the romance of living with nature and the amazing peace it offers, keep in mind that it is also part of a natural ecosystem where critters may make their way into your living space. Summer Moon has a signature, eco-friendly moisturizing spray made from Lemon Grass, Clove and Citronella essential oils to deter unwanted mosquitos and bugs. Additionally, the staff can spray the house during turndown service for you.
We really enjoyed a great week at Summer Moon, myself husband and teenage daughter. It is a very tranquil location but on the outskirts of Ubud so close to get to shops and restaurants. You do need transport - we used Nyoman (or his son) to drive us everywhere and that worked out very well but if you wanted to be more mobile you would need to hire bikes / car. The housekeeping staff were excellent as was Nyoman the driver, who we would definitely recommend. The villa itself is beautifully designed and in a really perfect setting. Beds were comfortable and we had a relaxing but cultural stay!
Everything was perfect from being picked up at the airport by Nyoman, the beautiful space, the lovely woman who made the delicious breakfasts, the days trips with Nyoman and the cleanliness and spaciousness of the villa. A glorious way to spend four days.
We loved our stay at Summer Moon Villa. The villa has a calming environment set in a lush backdrop overlooking the rice fields and away from the craziness of the Ubud town centre. We we're able to disconnect and relax. We had a great time.
Amazing breakfast from the ladies and loved that the brought their kids to play with ours for turn down service! Wayans food was and service was out of this world. Just a beautiful stay!
everything about this villa is amazing. every bathroom has its own unique style. i just wish all the rooms were airconditioned. but other than that it's a perfect getaway. the staff are very friendly and accommodating.
Stayed at the villa for 4 nights with my partner and we could not have asked for a better location or villa in Ubud. The property is outside of Ubud centre and a bit set-back from the road which allowed us to quietly enjoy the view and amenities of the villa. The stunning view of rice fields in all three rooms and pool was great although we primarily slept in the room by the pool as that was the only room with air-condition. The second floor room has a view to two different rice fields that were in different stage of rice production. Breakfast was prepared every morning by two sweet ladies who will be missed, Made and Ketut. They made sure that we had everything we need up to and including assistance in planning a dinner at the villa with 3 friends. Made and Ketut graciously coordinated two couple massage appointments for us even though we were running a bit late to one of the appointments. Most importantly, they kept the villa clean, neat and organized while giving us the privacy we were looking for in booking Summer Moon. For transport, we decided to hire Nyoman for most of our activities. Nyoman is a patient and careful driver who knows his way around Ubud and can offer suggestions if needed. Overall, we would highly recommend Summer Moon Villa and would not hesitate to go back the next time we are in Bali. The hospitality and friendly personal service provided by the staff is truly special and will be missed.
A natural and beautiful villa away from the hustle and bustle of busy Ubud, but not to far to enjoy Ubud city. So peaceful - slept so well. Staff were amazing and such a treat to have daily cooked breakfasts in the villa. A well presented and very clean villa amongst the beautiful ricefields.
I have been to Ubud about a dozen times over the past 15 years, and my travel companions have been even more over the past 35 years. We've watched it become very busy, the traffic heavy, the town has lost it's quiet spots. So we looked outside of Ubud and found this fabulous haven south of town in Lodtunduh. We rented Summer Moon Villa, which isn't this exact one but has 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, a private pool and is right on the rice padi. Very clean, the friendly and happy staff made us very tasty breakfasts every morning and the security cards were super nice and walked us to our villa when we came home after dark. We had a kitchen that we could use any time, which was great. They have teamed up with masseuses (highly recommend!) and a local chef who can come to your villa to give you a cooking class (wish we had done this). A highlight was hearing the village preparing for a ngaben (a cremation ceremony) - the singing and beleganjur music carried so well over the rice fields so we could hear the ceremony in the distance. Very nice, peaceful and beautiful villa.
We loved the villa (Summer Moon), very peaceful and quiet. The Villa was secluded but still accessable for dinners, massages and taxis. Breakfast daily was delicious! Overall the friendly and promt staff ensured we had a wonderful stay.
Being a Travel Agent I have experienced many villas and hotels and I have to say Summer Moon is my favorite. From the moment we arrived the staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. Organising us transport, in villa massage and dinners and anything else we needed. The breakfast was to die for and oh how i wish i could whip up banana pancakes and scrambled eggs that quick and tasty. Everything about the villa makes for a relaxing and secluded stay. Will definitely be recommending this to client and friends. We will be back. I loved that the villa supplied a mobile phone making it very easy when you needed something. Even though there was a little supermarket a 15 min walk from the villa i would recommend that there was a service to pre order some grocery's to be there upon your arrival.
