The house lies in the ancient cultural heart of Bali far from the crowded southern coast. At 1,000-foot elevation, the house sits on a promontory overlooking the spellbinding landscape of Sidemen Valley at the foot of Mount Agung in East Bali. Rice terraces and forested hills extend to the horizon. This land holds much more than meets the eye. It is a holy region--home of the mother temple Besakih and the island’s most sacred volcano Gunung Agung, (King Mountain). Less than two hours from the airport thanks to the new coastal highway, this lush rural region is a refreshing contrast to the over-built, congested tourist areas of Kuta, Seminyak, Nusa Dua, Sanur and Ubud. The house is an ideal place to detach and detox from the modern world, while rejuvenating in the awe-inspiring nature of the tropics. » more |
