Why We Recommend Villa Du Bah
If you want to experience traditional Balinese architecture without sacrificing comfort, Villa Du Bah delivers. The property features authentic Javanese Joglo pavilions - antique wooden structures that were dismantled, transported, and rebuilt here. At $208 per night for 3 bedrooms, you get genuine heritage architecture at a fraction of what luxury Joglo properties charge.
What Sets It Apart
The Umalas-Kerobokan location offers a different Bali experience to the busy Seminyak strip. You are surrounded by rice fields and village life rather than beach clubs and boutiques. The 3km distance to the beach means this is not a beachfront stay, but for guests seeking tranquility and authenticity, that trade-off makes sense.
The three separate pavilions create natural privacy - couples can have their own space while sharing common areas. The tropical gardens surrounding the pool feel like a genuine escape rather than a manicured resort.
