It's an experience like no other, in a setting beautiful enough to
bedazzle royalty. Bespoke, exclusive, and luxurious, Viceroy Bali is a
unique destination resort poised on a ridge overlooking the verdant
Valley of the Kings in central Bali.
Located just seven minutes' drive from central Ubud, this tropical
paradise feels like another world, with 25 Bali-styled luxury pool
villas, bespoke amenities -- including a complete gymnasium and
wellness-centered spa -- award winning restaurant, peerless service, and
stunning surroundings. It's the perfect place for the discerning bon
vivant to relax and renew in utter tranquility, for celebrants to gather
for a wedding or reunion, or for executives to retreat to plan for the
future.
Every aspect of the Viceroy Bali experience is infused with the unique
and exotic. First there are the accommodations. Surrounded by the sights
and sounds of the exotic flora and fauna of Bali, each has its own open
air living area, complete with private pool. Inside, the décor is
beautifully Balinese-themed. Each villa includes a living room with
sectional sofa, oversized king bed, nicely-sized bathroom, espresso
machine, 47-inch television, and iPod docking station. The villas range
in size from 1,615 square feet (Garden Villa) to 4,306 square feet
(Viceroy Villa), complete with balé. Of special interest for families
and other larger groups: two of the deluxe terrace villas can be
connected to form one large one; also, the villas are
wheelchair-compatible.
Garden Villas
Each of the garden villas is 150 square meters (1615 ft2)
comprised of an amply spaced bedroom and sitting room with combined
indoor and outdoor living space; a spacious open plan bathroom
integrating the private indoor swimming pool; and a garden and daybed
(called a balé) where hours are easily spent relaxing with scenic vistas of the valley and beyond.
Terrace Villas
One of the highlights of the Terrace Villas is the balé, a
small Balinese pavilion, graciously and conveniently perched over the
private outdoor swimming pool. Guests relish sitting in the balé looking
over the spectacular Petanu River gorge whilst having an afternoon drink, reading, or just enjoying a light meal and refreshment from room service.
Deluxe Terrace Villas
One of the design virtues of the Deluxe Terrace Villas is the balé,
a small Balinese pavilion, perched over the private outdoor swimming
pool. Guests appreciate the languid nature that comes with lying back in
a balé looking over the spectacular Petanu River
gorge whilst having an afternoon drink, reading, or just enjoying a
light meal and refreshment, and certainly forgetting about the world
they came from.
Vice Regal Villas
This exceptionally large 240 square meter (2583 ft2) villa
offers an expansive yet intimate bedroom with a large open bathroom, an
outdoor living area, a private outdoor swimming pool with outdoor
shower, and a garden overlooking the Petanu River valley. The
Vice Regal Villa 1 is ideally an elegant retreat for couples who
appreciate open spaces and stylish surroundings.
Viceroy Villa
The Viceroy Villa is often referred to by guests as the resort’s
Presidential Villa. This elegant accommodation has two very spacious
bedrooms, each with high-thatched roofs and commodious luxury bathrooms.
