Property Description

"Two ridiculously private residences that fuse a traditional village experience with five-star trappings to create a bespoke idyll." - Harpers Bazaar

For even the most well-travelled pleasure seekers, Sungai Jungle Villas present something extraordinary. These ultra-luxurious hideaways cocooned in the Balinese jungle combine the privacy of a villa with all the accoutrements of a five-star resort. It’s sublime indulgence. A series of cinematic moments unfolds as you’re welcomed by your team of staff, ushered to your elegantly appointed room (hello four-poster bed) and introduced to the infinity pools, dining/leisure pavilions, full-time chefs and spa staff available exclusively for your every holiday whim. Glowing guest impressions of the magical location (riverside in the traditional south-western village of Cepaka), exquisite cuisine, and flawless, personalised service can’t quite prepare you for the experience you’ll find here. The daily grind gives way to an unforgettable escape, set to the soundtrack of jungle rhythms. Both of the three-suite villas can be booked for a small group or a secluded sojourn for two.

Having bagged a slew of awards as a top villa over two decades, this luxe retreat’s covetable reputation has been taken to new heights in recent years: World’s Top 5 Luxury Villas; 4 x winner: Gold List Awards for 'best overseas boutique hotel, villa or lodge';  Best Private Villa Southeast Asia; several Experts Choice Awards, Luxury Lifesyle Awards Best Luxury Private Villa Bali 2023; Leaders in Luxury Awards 2024….and recently showcased in Esme Benjamin's '8 Dreamy Villas For A Totally Luxurious Trip'(alongside amongst others the paradisiacal North Island, The Seychelles): "A fancy hotel is always delightful, but nothing quite beats the seclusion and peace that a private villa provides. Nestled in the jungle or perched on the coast, these upscale villas blend unique aesthetics, five-star hospitality, and out-of-this-world amenities that take luxury to a whole new level. Assemble your favorite travel buddies and book your most luxurious vacation yet."

Located a world away from the bustle of Kuta and the bar strips of Legian, one Balinese villa property instils the magic of an island undiscovered, and yet sits on the outskirts of the coastal hotspot Canggu. Sungai Jungle Villa's flagship 3-bedroom villa is all about luxury, peace and privacy alongside benchmark service; catering to 1-6 guests at a time.

Tranquil, tropical and sufficiently remote, Sungai Jungle Villas are the last word in discreet spoiling and relaxation, taking the 5-star hotel experience to the next level. Tailored equally for couples, families or friends holidaying together, at this exclusive villa there’s nothing but endless privacy and personal space for 1-6 guests.

The loaded iPods in guest rooms, luxurious bedding, fresh flowers daily (white, naturally), a pyramid of fresh towels and a basket of water bottles sitting by the 18m infinity pool at all times all adds to the feeling that nothing has been overlooked. Add to this a remarkable staff to guest ratio, formal table settings for all meals and the staff out-fitted with Captain’s Jackets in the evening serving canapes and cocktails, a great kids’ menu and lots of toys, food provided at the cost of ingredients and wine at wholesale prices. The secret to Sungai’s unique concept is the fusion of Balinese hospitality with devotion to guests’ pleasure alongside five-star services and surroundings - all raised to levels of personal attention unattainable by major chain hotels, despite their brand promises. Guests of Sungai Jungle Villas can immerse themselves in an island escape cocooned in a tranquil, local style that exudes contemporary sophistication. Merging contemporary architecture and modern comfort with authentic local influence this luxury private pool villa blends seamlessly into its environment, with no disruption to the rice paddy fields around.

UK MAGAZINE BOE...(The Best of Bali - Villa Sungai - BOE Magazine) 

It does sound as if this might be a fantastical scene from a Rudyard Kipling novel – a diary of colonial extravagance where one harkens back to the days of dressing for dinner, personal staff on hand 24/7, and taking cocktails amidst a tangle of wild jungle. Well, this is what guests of Sungai Jungle Villas can truly expect. Never have I stayed somewhere that captures this idyllic bubble so well. Descending the entrance steps; being welcomed by your private team of impeccably mannered staff; settling into cream-hued rooms that are decked out with four poster beds– it all seems like some marvellous dream. You know those times when you feel as if you’re in a movie of your own life? This could be it.

Sungai was born out of a desire to offer something a little different to the world of five-star hospitality. On an island where there seems to be a new resort or luxury hotel appearing with frightening frequency, this approach is necessary and wholly welcome. Bali has long been the destination of those looking for an indulgent escape, but what about those craving the personal experience? The tranquility? The true sense of bespoke service? Then VILLA SUNGAI is for you.

If this all sounds like heaven, it’s because at times it really feels likes it could be. In a world where it’s becoming harder to know if your holiday is really going to deliver everything it promises, Sungai Jungle Villas step up to the mark. It is a rare occasion where the use of ‘tranquility’ ‘luxury’ and ‘personal service’ are not just buzz-words – with the work of the guest services manager (Made) and his team, and the incredible setting that has been created, they are genuinely the mission statement of a once-in-a-lifetime experience. That is until the lure of Villa Sungai’s beauty draws you back once more…
