About villa campuhan

Villa Campuhan sits in the heart of East Bali, in Indonesia.

Originally conceived as a private residence for family and friends, the property was designed by architect and environmentalist Linda Garland to merge seamlessly with its spectacular environment. There are five traditionally built, luxuriously appointed villas, plus a main communal villa, the Campuhan Lounge. Constructed from re-cycled 30- foot long ironwood electrical poles, local, lava stone and grass, we have focused the magic of East Bali into a peaceful, oceanside oasis that weaves the luxury of the west with the spiritual beauty and simplicity of “Bali Asli,” the true Bali.

The property has been featured in Architectural Digest, Sustainable Visions and The Wall Street Journal. Sophisticated and romantic, the lush grounds create an unparalleled setting for vacations, weddings, honeymoons, and wellness retreats.

An Aesthetic All Its Own

Walking around the lush grounds, experiencing different angles of art, buildings and landscape, Villa Campuhan is a kaleidoscope of the senses.   Fresh sea air, bird song, and rolling waves heighten all sights. The textures, the various flower fragrances, and the tactile quality of everything that’s been brought to bear, all add up to a higher harmonic of living. The staff women in their colorful sari’s giving prayer offerings three times a day at the various ‘pellengi’ on the property are a constant reminder that life here can be both hedonistic and spiritual. At Villa Campuhan, these two aspects of life are not in conflict but form the binary pillars of a cohesive experience,  a feast for the eyes, the mind, the senses and the spirit.

In the evening, the sea zephyrs switch to cooling mountain breezes and the geckos come out to play. Sumptuous dinners are had, Bintang beer, wine and spirits are imbibed, and quiet conversation fills Villa Campuhan as the night rolls over the Indian Ocean. The waking life and the dream life here form a continuum, hard to demarcate where one begins and the other ends. In Bali, there is magic everywhere serenaded throughout with gamalan, flutes, and drums. There is a gentleness to the people, a gentleness to the land and, at Villa Campuhan, a gentleness that overtakes one as you slip away in your comfortable bed to the end of one day and the beginning of another.
