Nice to have a visitor from:
Villa Pantulan
In the quiet, unspoiled village of Lodtunduh, three kilometers south of Ubud,
Villa Pantulan overlooks verdant rice fields and Mount Batukaru. From the moment
our gates are opened, you enter a world of enchantment, seclusion and
tranquility, far from the noisy, crowded beach hotels and busy roads of Bali.
The open environment of Villa Pantulan is an ever-changing scene depending on
the season. The rice fields glimmer in shades of green and brown, and at sunset,
when the sun descends behind the tree line, the frogs and crickets begin their
nightly symphony and the mountain air brings a cool breeze.
Villa Pantulan comprises four pavilions, an artists studio and a
meditation/massage bale. All buildings have traditional alang alang roofs
(thatched), wood and terrazzo floors. The five bedrooms, which sleep ten
comfortably, have sliding louvered and glass doors that open up completely to
allow the cool mountain air to circulate and all rooms have ceiling fans.
The villa is built around several water features including a reflecting pond,
lily pond, swimming pool and a small bamboo forest waterfall. It is well suited
for small weddings, a health/yoga retreat, or a corporate team seeking privacy
and luxury.
We take great pride in the beauty of our home and have furnished it with many
exquisite works of art both modern and antique. Great care has been taken to
provide our guests with as many amenities as possible. Beautiful Balinese cotton
kimonos and slippers are available for your comfort and to take home as a
souvenir of Villa Pantulan.
Pavilions
The Pantulan Pavilion includes a living room, dining room, gourmet kitchen,
library, entertainment room and bathroom. All spaces are connected by a soaring
alang alang roof and walkways to each separate pavilion offering panoramic views
to the rest of the house and the rice fields beyond.
Our gourmet kitchen is fully equipped to allow our staff to create memorable
meals for your pleasure, offering both European and Balinese meals upon request.
We also offer fine Australian wines, as well as a selection of beers and soft
drinks. Breakfast is included in your package.
The Dining Room
The dining room is an extension of the kitchen dominated by a five meter mirbau
wood table. Seating sixteen people comfortably, it overlooks the reflecting pond
on one side and the bamboo waterfall on the other.
The Living Room
The living room is open to the rice fields and the lotus pond. The comfortable
terrazzo seating is covered in cushions decorated in navy and gray Balinese
cotton. A small table situated on the rice field side gives splendid views in
the morning while taking breakfast, or for playing games on a hot afternoon.
Beside the table, a beautiful Javanese marriage bull and cart looks as if it
were arriving from the sawah. Dominating the center wall is a stunning painting
by local Bali resident Wolfgang Widmoser.
Above the living room, the library contains a PC and printer for your
convenience. As of now, there is no internet connection available at Villa
Pantulan. However, there are many excellent connections in Ubud, ten minutes
away. It is also a comfortable place to read in privacy.
Our entertainment room includes a satellite television, DVD, music system and a
Playstation. There are over 200 DVDs, as well as many CDs for your
entertainment. Comfortably decorated in shades of green, the surround seating
and futon mattress make it hard to leave this comfortable viewing room.
The bathroom conveniently situated next to the entertainment room is also used
as a pool bathroom. Like all the bathrooms at Villa Pantulan, it has its own
exterior garden.
The Lotus Pavilion
The Lotus Pavilion is a two-story structure comprising sitting room, bedroom and
bathroom. On the ground floor, a stunning wall carving depicting village life
adorns the back wall. A small sofa, two chairs, a coffee table and a sofa table
are covered in brown Balinese cotton. On the table and long benches are fine
examples of Balinese glass and traditional wooden boat.
Upstairs, a large bedroom overlooks the rice field and swimming pool. A
beautiful white stone Buddha head decorates the back of the bed, and delicate
colored organza is lit from behind to cast a beautiful light on the bed at
night. This is a truly romantic bedroom and as the sun sets, there is a
magnificent view from this bedroom.
The bathroom includes a waterfall and a koi fish pond next to the outdoor
shower. Two porcelain bowls sit on top of terrazzo counters and are well-lit by
Italian light fixtures. A high wall, covered in fern and flowering plants, gives
you complete privacy.
The Temple Garden Pavilion
The Temple Garden Pavilion has two bedrooms, both decorated in shades of
tropical green and deep sea blue. In each room, a queen size bed is surrounded
by a white mosquito net emphasizing the dramatic bed linens, cushions and
curtains made from Balinese cotton. The lower bedroom extends out to the Temple
garden, koi pond and orchid garden. The upper bedroom offers splendid views of
the rice field and an overall view of the house and orchid garden below.
The bathroom on the ground floor is a striking bamboo and white pebble garden
designed around the outdoor shower. Two porcelain bowls set on terrazzo counters
and Italian lighting fixtures make this a stunning bathroom.
The Rice Field Pavilion
Behind the Lotus Pavilion, tucked away discretely behind the wall, is the Rice
Field Pavilion. A two bedrooms structure decorated in shades of Irish green,
Balinese red and black add dramatic flair to an already dramatic setting.
Each bedroom opens out onto a different view from a small wooden deck, on one
side the Temple Garden and on the other, the rice fields. Each bedroom has a
queen sized bed canopied in white mosquito net and a beautiful Balinese Ikat
design. All beds are carefully lit from inside by beautiful Italian lamps. A
small table and chair for writing postcards or letters and a mirror complete
this room. On the walls, are drawings and paintings by local artists.
Artist Studio T-House
At the north end of the swimming pool is our Artists studio. A two level
pavilion designed by Tony Gwilliam. Built on water, it is an ideal place to take
tea and admire the rice fields on your doorstep. A small table rises from the
middle of the floor Japanese style, enabling you to put your feet in the water
on hot afternoons. Upstairs is an office space with a magnificent view of the
mountains in the distance.
Massage Bale
At the south end of the pool is a massage/meditation bale. A single storey
structure decorated with fine white cotton curtains for privacy. All massage
therapists can be booked through our villa manager.
Swimming Pool
Beyond Pantulan Pavilion is the swimming pool. Built for laps, it is twenty-five
meters long with an infinity edge flowing towards the rice fields.
