Villa Pantulan is located in the quiet, unspoiled village
of Lodtunduh, three kilometers south of Ubud, Villa Pantulan
overlooks verdant rice fields and Mount Batukaru.
From the moment our gates are opened, you enter a world of
enchantment, seclusion and tranquility, far from the noisy,
crowded beach hotels and busy roads of Bali.
The open environment of Villa Pantulan is an ever-changing
scene depending on the season. The rice fields glimmer in
shades of green and brown, and at sunset, when the sun
descends behind the tree line, the frogs and crickets begin
their nightly symphony and the mountain air brings a cool
breeze.
Villa Pantulan comprises four pavilions, an artists studio
and a meditation/massage bale. All buildings have traditional
alang alang roofs (thatched), wood and terrazzo floors. The
five bedrooms, which sleep ten comfortably, have sliding
louvered and glass doors that open up completely to allow the
cool mountain air to circulate and all rooms have ceiling
fans.
The villa is built around several water features including
a reflecting pond, lily pond, swimming pool and a small bamboo
forest waterfall. It is well suited for small weddings, a
health/yoga retreat, or a corporate team seeking privacy and
luxury. We take great pride in the beauty of our home and have
furnished it with many exquisite works of art both modern and
antique. Great care has been taken to provide our guests with
as many amenities as possible. Beautiful Balinese cotton
kimonos and slippers are available for your comfort and to
take home as a souvenir of Villa Pantulan.
The Pantulan Pavilion
The Pantulan Pavilions includes a living room, dining room,
gourmet kitchen, library, entertainment room and bathroom. All
spaces are connected by a soaring alang alang roof and
walkways to each separate pavilion offering panoramic views to
the rest of the house and the rice fields beyond.
Our gourmet kitchen is fully equipped to
allow our staff to create memorable meals for your pleasure,
offering both European and Balinese meals upon request. We
also offer fine Australian wines, as well as a selection of
beers and soft drinks. Breakfast is included in your
package.
The Dining Room
The dining room is an extension of the kitchen dominated by a
five meter Merbau wood table. Seating sixteen people
comfortably, it overlooks the reflecting pond on one side and
the bamboo waterfall on the other.
The living room is open to the rice fields and the
lotus pond. The comfortable terrazzo seating is covered in
cushions decorated in navy and gray Balinese cotton.
A small table situated on the rice field side gives
splendid views in the morning while taking breakfast, or for
playing games on a hot afternoon. Beside the table, a
beautiful Javanese marriage bull and cart looks as if it were
arriving from the sawah. Dominating the center wall is a
stunning painting by local Bali resident Wolfgang Widmoser.
Above the living room, the library contains a PC and
printer for your convenience. As of now, there is no internet
connection available at Villa Pantulan. However, there are
many excellent connections in Ubud, ten minutes away. It is
also a comfortable place to read in privacy.
The Temple Garden Pavilion
The Temple Garden pavilion has two bedrooms, both decorated in
shades of tropical green and deep sea blue. In each room, a
queen size bed is surrounded by a white mosquito net
emphasizing the dramatic bed linens, cushions and curtains
made from Balinese cotton. The lower bedroom extends out to
the Temple garden, koi pond and orchid garden.
The upper bedroom offers splendid views of the rice field
and an overall view of the house and orchid garden below. The
bathroom on the ground floor is a striking bamboo and white
pebble garden designed around the outdoor shower. Two
porcelain bowls set on terrazzo counters and Italian lighting
fixtures make this a stunning bathroom.
Behind the Lotus pavilion, tucked away discretely behind
the wall, is the Rice Field Pavilion. A two bedrooms
structure decorated in shades of Irish green, Balinese red and
black add dramatic flair to an already dramatic setting. Each
bedroom opens out onto a different view from a small wooden
deck, on one side the Temple Garden and on the other, the rice
fields.
Each bedroom has a queen sized bed canopied in white
mosquito net and a beautiful Balinese Ikat design. All beds
are carefully lit from inside by beautiful Italian lamps. A
small table and chair for writing postcards or letters and a
mirror complete this room. On the walls, are drawings and
paintings by local artists.
Artist Studio– T-House
At the north end of the swimming pool is our Artists studio. A
two level pavilion designed by Tony Gwilliam. Built on water,
it is an ideal place to take tea and admire the rice fields on
your doorstep. A small table rises from the middle of the
floor Japanese style, enabling you to put your feet in the
water on hot afternoons. Upstairs is an office space with a
magnificent view of the mountains in the distance.
Massage Bale
At the south end of the pool is a massage/meditation bale. A
single story structure decorated with fine white cotton
curtains for privacy. All massage therapists can be booked
through our villa manager.
Swimming Pool
Beyond Pantulan pavilion is the swimming pool. Built for laps,
it is twenty-five meters long with an infinity edge flowing
towards the rice fields.
