Entry to Tirtha Bayu Villa I is at ground level via a walkway flanked by koi ponds and water features, leading into a single-story pavilion with soaring ceilings. This area has two bedrooms and a lounge that flows seamlessly into the adjoining three-story pavilion to create an immense open-plan living area. Stairs lead up to a roof terrace and two guest bedrooms. Another lounge area, gym and two more bedrooms are located on the lower ground floor opening onto the gardens.

Recently built in 2022, Tirtha Bayu Villa I boasts contemporary lines complemented by luxurious leather furnishings. Hand-picked antiques and artwork from around Indonesia create a distinct sense of place and set the stage. Enjoy glorious ocean views from its vantage point on top of a cliff. Vast air-conditioned open-plan living spaces allow for large gatherings and spill into a resplendent dining room and kitchen, allowing for social evenings.

Send out the invites and bring your family and friends along. With two generous master bedrooms and four deluxe suites spread over three floors, all with elegant spa-style ensuites, there’s room for everyone. Communal areas are ideal for gathering together, but if you need a little ‘me time’ there are plenty of comfortable spaces to hide away. A remarkably peaceful place, the only sounds come from birdsong, the crash of waves on the shore and the dance of water fountains.

In this delightfully semi-rural setting far from the crowds, it’s easy to immerse yourself in local Balinese culture. Explore the surrounding rice fields, or toast the setting sun with fresh juice or green coconut from an atmospheric warung on the nearby cliffs overlooking the evocative sea temple Pura Gede Luhur Batu Ngaus.

Friendly professional staff includes a private chef who will whip up tasty gourmet meals and a Villa Manager who will be happy to arrange transport should you wish to discover more of the delights of Tabanan. And if the bright lights and beach clubs of Canggu beckon, it’s only nine kilometres from the estate to Echo Beach.

Tirtha Bayu Villa I is a six-bedroom sister property within Tirtha Bayu Estate. The two villas, connected by an ornate stone-carved Balinese gate, offer an 11-bedroom holiday rental complete with two swimming pools that make a dream venue for a tropical wedding celebration.
