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.
Pavilions
The Pantulan Pavilion 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 mirbau wood table. Seating sixteen people
comfortably, it overlooks the reflecting pond on one side
and the bamboo waterfall on the other.
The Living
Room
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.
Our entertainment room
includes a satellite television, DVD, music system and a
Playstation. There are over 200 DVDs, as well as many CDs
for your entertainment. Comfortably decorated in shades of
green, the surround seating and futon mattress make it hard
to leave this comfortable viewing room.
The bathroom conveniently
situated next to the entertainment room is also used as a
pool bathroom. Like all the bathrooms at Villa Pantulan, it
has its own exterior garden.
The Lotus
Pavilion
The Lotus Pavilion is a two-story structure comprising
sitting room, bedroom and bathroom. On the ground floor, a
stunning wall carving depicting village life adorns the back
wall. A small sofa, two chairs, a coffee table and a sofa
table are covered in brown Balinese cotton. On the table and
long benches are fine examples of Balinese glass and
traditional wooden boat.
Upstairs, a large bedroom
overlooks the rice field and swimming pool. A beautiful
white stone Buddha head decorates the back of the bed, and
delicate colored organza is lit from behind to cast a
beautiful light on the bed at night. This is a truly
romantic bedroom and as the sun sets, there is a magnificent
view from this bedroom.
The bathroom includes a
waterfall and a koi fish pond next to the outdoor shower.
Two porcelain bowls sit on top of terrazzo counters and are
well-lit by Italian light fixtures. A high wall, covered in
fern and flowering plants, gives you complete 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.
The Rice
Field Pavilion
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 storey 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.
