Villa Candi Kecil Tujuh is the seven-bedroom configuration of the Candi Kecil estate in Pejeng, just outside Ubud, and the setting here is something special. The property sits among rice fields and near sacred temples, surrounded by the sounds of nature — rustling leaves, birdsong, and distant Balinese ceremonies. It’s a genuinely immersive location that captures what many people imagine when they picture a Bali retreat, but rarely find in practice.

The estate features two private swimming pools plus a shallow wading pool for children, spread across expansive gardens with palm and frangipani trees, manicured lawns, and a shaded spa gazebo for traditional Balinese treatments. Seven bedroom suites are arranged across elegant pavilions, each with sliding glass doors to the garden, teak and rattan furnishings, traditional Balinese artwork, and en-suite bathrooms with open-air rain showers. The master suite includes a jacuzzi. The pavilion-style layout means the property breathes naturally and every room connects to the outdoors.

The staff team includes a villa manager overseeing daily operations, housekeeping, concierge services for excursions and recommendations, and security. For a large family gathering or group retreat, this estate provides both the space and the service to make it work effortlessly.

Why We Recommend Villa Candi Kecil Tujuh

At $465 per night for seven bedrooms, this works out to about $66 per room — genuinely exceptional value for an Ubud estate of this scale and beauty. The rice field setting near Pejeng’s temples gives the property an atmosphere that Seminyak and Canggu villas simply cannot replicate. Two pools plus a kids’ wading pool across the grounds means a group of 14 has proper space rather than everyone crowding one pool. The open-air rain showers and master jacuzzi add luxury touches, while the teak-and-rattan interiors keep the aesthetic warm and authentic. For large families wanting to experience Ubud together — the cultural heart of Bali — this is one of the best-value estates available.

Good To Know

Pejeng is a village setting just outside Ubud town — beautifully quiet and rural, but you’ll need transport to reach restaurants, shops, and Ubud’s main attractions
Open-air rain showers and pavilion design mean you’re connected to nature throughout — embrace the tropical experience including garden sounds and occasional wildlife
Seven bedrooms makes this ideal for large families or friend groups of 10 to 14 — smaller groups may find the four-bedroom Candi Kecil option more suitable
Ubud is inland and elevated, so evenings are cooler than the coast — a welcome change from beach-area heat
The estate is close to Ubud’s cultural highlights: Monkey Forest, Tegallalang Rice Terraces, Tirta Empul temple, and the art museums are all short drives away

For a large group wanting an authentic Ubud estate experience surrounded by rice fields and temples, with seven suites, two pools, open-air showers, and full staff at a remarkable $66 per room, Villa Candi Kecil Tujuh is one of the best-value large-capacity properties in Bali’s cultural heartland.
