Pondok Padi Bali joins the Dhananjaya collection

Pondok Padi Bali is now part of the Dhananjaya collection. The villa sits in Penginyahan, a peaceful village in the highlands north of Ubud in the Tegallalang area, surrounded by tropical gardens and the gentle rhythm of rural Balinese life.

A private pool villa in the Ubud highlands

Pondok Padi Bali is a single private pool villa, designed for two guests who want space and seclusion. Its design blends traditional Balinese warmth with contemporary comfort, using natural textures, open-air spaces and leafy surroundings to create a calm, private setting.

The villa is built around its outdoor swimming pool, which is open all year. Palms and garden plantings surround the water, so the pool mirrors the greenery during the day, and soft lighting turns it into a glowing centrepiece in the evening. The pool has a shallow end, and pool toys are provided.

Inside, the bedroom has a king bed framed by a white canopy, plus a sofa bed for extra flexibility. The bathroom includes a deep soaking tub. The villa is air-conditioned and soundproofed, with free WiFi, a flat-screen TV, a tea and coffee maker, and a balcony overlooking the garden.

Guests at Pondok Padi Bali can enjoy:

Exploring central Bali

The location suits travellers who want a quiet base for exploring central Bali. The sacred Tirta Empul water temple is about 4.4 miles away, and the Taro Village experience is close by. Ubud's palaces, museums and the Monkey Forest are around 9 to 10 miles from the villa, close enough for a day out and far enough to return to the quiet of the village in the evening.

Pondok Padi Bali offers a peaceful, romantic base for couples and travellers looking for an authentic side of Bali, away from the busier streets of central Ubud.
