Villa Umah Jeng Alessia

Climb the stairs at Villa Umah Jeng Alessia and the view opens out across green rice fields and palm-dotted countryside, the kind of outlook that makes morning coffee on the balcony a ritual. Set in Pererenan, one of Bali’s most relaxed coastal villages, it is close to the area’s cafés and warungs, with the beach around eight minutes away and the buzz of Canggu a short drive along the coast.

Downstairs, a slim turquoise pool runs alongside a timber deck beneath white walls and tall arched windows, with a curtained floating daybed suspended over the water and a tiled-roof gazebo at the far end, furnished with rattan seating for lazy afternoons in the shade. The garden is thick with banana palms and heliconia, so the whole space feels like a private tropical courtyard.

Inside, the airy upstairs living room with a smart TV looks straight out over the fields through floor-to-ceiling glass, and a breezy balcony dining table takes in the same view. A long timber kitchen with a breakfast bar and a separate dining area sit below, and the four king bedrooms, several with four-poster frames and terraces, are calm and light-filled. A jacuzzi tub adds a touch of indulgence, and daily housekeeping keeps everything effortless.
