Ubud,
Immersed in the tranquil heart of Ubud, the River Moon villa unfolds a sanctuary where contemporary elegance merges with traditional Balinese accents, presenting a captivating two-bedroom haven. Underneath the cooling alang-alang roofs - a homage to Balinese architectural aesthetics - the villa offers a harmonious blend of spaciousness and light. Its rooms, bathed in the soft glow of Bali's tropical sunshine, serve as perfect retreats from the hustle and bustle of the world.
To enhance your connection with Ubud's natural charm, the villa is designed with large windows and sliding doors. These open expanses allow the outdoors to merge seamlessly with the indoors, creating an inviting atmosphere of outdoor-indoor living, where the soft rustle of the breeze and the chirping of the birds become your constant companions.
The bedrooms are epitomes of comfort and tranquility. At the center, comfortable four-poster beds invite you to retreat into a world of relaxation. The beds are outfitted with European inner spring mattresses, and when paired with the plush pillows and goose down duvets, they create a cocoon of comfort that promises serene nights of rest.
Adding to the allure of the bedrooms are the private en suites. One of these features an outdoor bath, letting you indulge in an open-air bathing experience while maintaining an intimate privacy that makes you feel at home. As the wind whispers through the leaves, you can soak in the bath, letting the warmth of the water ease your stresses away.
For those who find joy in creating culinary delights, River Moon provides a well-equipped kitchen. Whether you're preparing a simple breakfast or a lavish dinner, the kitchen offers a space where you can transform fresh ingredients into a meal to remember.
However, the allure of River Moon goes beyond its architectural elegance and creature comforts. One of the most captivating features of the villa is the spectacular view it offers. To the north, a breathtaking panorama of rice fields unfolds, painting a picture of undulating emerald that soothes the eyes. This seascape of greenery is as serene as it is vibrant, reflecting the true essence of Ubud.
To the south, the villa opens up to reveal a private pool, secluded in a corner where you can enjoy a swim without intrusions. Nearby, a meticulously maintained garden rolls gently down to a deck, which stands on the edge of a calm, gurgling river. With comfortable areas both inside and outside the villa, River Moon truly is a haven of relaxation.
Despite its seclusion, River Moon isn't disconnected from the vibrant spirit of Bali. A short 10-minute drive will take you to the heart of Ubud, the island's number two tourist destination. Whether you're craving a meal at a restaurant, eager to explore shopping options, or in need of services, everything is within a convenient distance. And for those with children, the holistic Pelangi School is just a 5-minute drive away.
One of the defining features of River Moon is its deep connection to the local village life. The staff members at River Moon not only hail from the neighboring street, but they were also involved in constructing the house. This lends a unique, personal touch to their services - when they welcome you into the villa, they're welcoming you into a place they helped build.
Even beyond the villa, the village offers a wealth of cultural experiences. Take a stroll, and you can watch villagers laying out offerings, tending to their roosters, or engaged in lively chats. Listen to the innocent laughter of children echoing down the streets, painting a picture of a community that's as welcoming as it is cheerful.
The surroundings of River Moon are a haven for nature lovers. The local flora and fauna add another dimension to your stay. Frogs and lizards, butterflies and herons, dragonflies
This property is wonderful, with a stunning setting and layout that maximizes outdoor living. All the rooms connect to very livable outdoor spaces. Each bedroom has an outdoor bathroom and shower or tub/shower. The two bedrooms have A/C units, which we used at night; otherwise, the ceiling fans in the bedrooms, kitchen, and main living area were sufficient to make it pleasant. The pool is plus for cooling off. I would suggest incorporating a fan into the bathroom spaces as well; they are walled in for privacy, so they do not tend to get any breezes. The couple that provides the day-to-day cleaning, cooking and services are incredibly wonderful people. Husband and wife are both named Kadek. Kadek (wife) takes care of the villa, cooking and cleaning, and has managed it for many years. Kadek (husband) provides efficient and reliable transportation services (like your own private taxi) and will arrange tours as well. We highly recommend both of them. The location is perfect for a relaxing stay away from the hustle, bustle and noise of Ubud, yet near enough to easily visit Ubud's attractions, stores and restaurants. There is a folder with useful instructions and recommendations. We found the restaurant recommendations to be excellent. We did a cooking class that they recommended and that Kadek (wife) arranged, and it was a blast. Ran out of time before we could try the chef services for the villa, but I'm sure those services would be just as good. Overall, this is an A+ rental.
Our stay at the villa was amazing. The villa was beautiful and open to nature and a rice field. It had air conditioning in the primary bedroom, and the second bedroom is just as nice. There is a plunge pool, so many sitting areas, beautiful living area that had accordion doors that can be opened up completely, and a kitchen with everything we needed. The villa felt very serene even with sounds of nature such as roosters and crickets. The koi pond gave it a zen feel as well. We received a “wake up” call from the community nearby each morning. The house manager- Kadek, her sweet daughters, and husband took care of us by providing breakfast each morning, maintaining the villa, and helping us explore the areas we wanted to see. We hired them as tour guide/ driver vs hiring an outside tour guide. Kadek also helped me schedule a massage at the Villa. They also have security guards outside the villas in the evenings throughout the night. We really enjoyed our time at the beautiful River Moon and would recommend it to others. If you are fine with nature and want a serene getaway this villa is the one.
We very much enjoyed our stay at the villa. Kadek & family made our stay very enjoyable. Our girls made new friends with tikka. We were picked up from the airport, breakfast was made each morning for us. They were so kind to us. The villa was as pictured. Very beautiful and peaceful. Enjoyed the roosters and chanting to wake up to each morning.
I had always dreamed of coming to Bali and reliving an eat, pray, love experience. Our villa was perfect for that purpose! The location nestled just outside of the town of Ubud gave us access to the buzzing town, but some serenity at home. The villa itself was lovely and very high-end for the area. Our hosts were absolutely delightful, and made the stay extremely special.
We were very excited to stay in this villa because of how beautiful it was and it exceeded our expectations. The villa was gorgeous and very comfortable. Kadek, Kadek and their daughters were all so welcoming and very helpful. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. They are the best team I’ve ever encountered. If you’re traveling to Ubud, you must stay here. You’ll have the best time!
We spent 3 nights at River Moon villa, part of Desa Bulan. The villa is about 10 minutes drive from Ubud but it easy to get a ride to and from Ubud. Ubud is hectic, so the serenity of the village is the perfect balance. The villa is staffed by a couple who will look after you very well (great breakfast; cleaning and driving around).
Great property in a nice location (car or bike recommended to travel around). Beautiful design and nice host. Very close to nature. Highly recommended!
Gorgeous Villa, very friendly staff. So relaxing, we wish we could have stayed longer. We will be back.
We had a fantastic holiday at River Moon and would highly recommend the experience of staying there to other travellers. We came as a couple with a young son and found the villa was spacious, set in beautiful countryside and very comfortable and relaxing. We also really appreciated the warmth, attention and dedication of the staff who looked after us, which was a highlight of the stay. Kadek and her team cooked us breakfast and we ordered in delicious local meals too for lunches and dinners quite frequently. Kadek was also a wonderful nanny to our little boy on the trip and so we were very comfortable to live him in her care while we popped into Ubud alone. He absolutely loved her and had a great time playing with her! Nyoman was a fantastic tour guide and driver, so we were able to follow his suggestions and see the interesting local cultural sights with ease. In retrospect we would have booked in even more trips with him as it was the best way to see everything so comfortably. Another positive was the tranquil and relaxing swimming pool near the villa, which we used several times for a swim, with a child pool for our son. I would recommend the holiday to families, couples and friends who are looking for a very special and peaceful retreat just on the outskirts of Ubud. It was a highly memorable Christmas for us with lots of beautiful memories. Thank you to everyone at River Moon!
We staying in Rivermoon villa for 5 nights with two families including two small babies. The villa itself is very beautiful and well kept. Everything was very well organised for us by the staff who were always around when needed. Kadek and her nephew were taking very good care of us and were very friendly. They were also very helpful with the kids. The villa is 10min drive without traffic from centre of Ubud located in a small village.
