Visitors looking for a shot of Balinese exotica are sure to be wowed by Villa Vajra, nestled among the foliage of a riverside gorge only minutes from Ubud. The expected themes of wood and Asian antiques play against flowing water and dramatic lighting for a hideaway that is unlike most others on the island.

Named after a symbol of Vajrayana Buddhism, “Vajra” refers to the sword of wisdom cutting through ignorance. With an eye to fitting in seamlessly with its surroundings, the villa’s three bedrooms boast thatched roofs and gardens intended to “blur” into the natural foliage.

Local artists dominate the décor, which is crafted out of local materials – alang-alang grass, Palimanan stone and teakwood. A Jacuzzi and semi-circular deck punctuated by living jackfruit trees number among the villa’s highlights. Despite all the luxury, eco-warriors will be pleased to know this villa is environmentally friendly, from its organic wastewater and food ingredients to its energy saving policies.
