This meticulously restored Javanese joglo, Villa Amrita, sits on a 100 are (approx 2 acre) south facing ocean front estate in East Bali, and is the idyllic place to immerse yourself in authentic Balinese village life while enjoying 21st century amenities. Located near Amlapura in Karangasem province, the grounds are populated with majestic coconut palms, tropical fruit trees and organic vegetable garden, all within walking distance of an insider's favorite surf spot. The property is minutes from local attractions like Tirtagganga and Taman Ujung water palaces, white sand beach (ours is black sand), traditional marketplaces and artisan workshops. Hiking to volcanoes, biking through sacred valleys and rice fields, snorkeling, scuba, fishing excursions, and trips to ancient villages are all within close reach. Villa Amrita is fully furnished, blending antiques with modern conveniences, including hi speed internet, land line, excellent cell reception, cable TV and Bose sound system. On-site staff can provide western and Balinese meals and guided transportation, and will happily share insights into Balinese culture with guests upon request. Just a two hour drive from Ngurah Rai international airport, but far from the tourist traps and annoying traffic. Paradise still exists in our corner of the island!
