Villa Sarah Nafi, North Bali Lovina

A special holiday accommodation for nature and culture lovers in the quiet hills bordering the coast of North Bali. A lot of care has been taken in construction and furnishings. There are numerous Indonesian and historical details in the decoration of the house and local elements have been used as much as possible.

The tourist highlights of North Bali and everyday life in the immediate area - not yet affected by mass tourism - are close by. The area around Tigawasa is known for its traditional - and very sustainable - bamboo production and industry. From Villa Sarah Nafi you can experience this up close. The famous black sand beach of Lovina can be reached in about 45 minutes on foot. By car or scooter it is only a 15-minute drive.

Villa Sarah Nafi is located on a wooded slope and is surrounded by a private garden of a quarter of an acre, in which we offer as much space as possible to the original vegetation. On one side this garden (partly secondary jungle) borders a deeply eroded river valley with bamboo forests.

The house offers two to four guests a comfortable stay. There is a small staff consisting of three very dedicated employees: the housekeeper/cook, the gardener and the night watchman. Our housekeeper's cooking is praised!

Next to the house there is a small service house with facilities for the staff, and several terraces with pergolas that provide shade and privacy. There is a swimming pool for a cool dip or swimming laps. There is also a small work/study house with a view over the sea, a Gazebo (or Bale Bengong) for lazing around or for a traditional Balinese massage; a house for the swimming pool installation and a parking terrace for cars or scooter(s).

House and garden are an ideal place to relax and get to know rural life in North Bali up close. Enjoy beautiful sunsets in the Balinese sea with - on clear days - the contours of the Javanese volcano Baluran. This spectacle is often accompanied by the enchanting sounds of (gamelan) music or music from the villages in the valley.

The homes of our Balinese neighbors are hidden in nature on the hill and there is one other holiday home.

A place for those seeking peace and quiet who really want to catch their breath. Additional facilities that our guests can use: a well-stocked library with extensive literature and information about Bali and Indonesia and a choice of relaxing literary works (Dutch, English, German). In addition, the fastest possible internet connection has been installed with its own separate antenna that 'picks up' the signal directly from a digital beam transmitter. A special attraction are the tough walks through the hills and villages with our gardener Pastika as a guide.
