Nestled between emerald green rice fields and the glistening sea, this villa estate is much more than a spectacular luxury coastal escape. It’s a unique opportunity to experience the Balinese Hindu concept of tri hita karana, ‘the three causes of happiness,’ defined by connection with nature, with people, and with god/the divine. Here in this breathtakingly beautiful spot, soothed by the sound of crashing waves, with ornate Hindu temples reached by scenic clifftop path, and the opportunity to reconnect with family and friends, your happiness is assured. Ultimately Tirtha Bayu is a place of rejuvenation and restoration.

Luxurious amenities are matched by the luxuriousness of space, with two infinity pools creating a sense of endless sparkling water. Both villas have been thoughtfully designed to capture the black sand beach views, from shady furnished verandas and poolside balés to sumptuous air-conditioned living areas with floor-to-ceiling glass. A remarkable collection of Indonesian antique furnishings, wood carvings and artwork have been hand-picked by the owners to create a distinct sense of place. Lush tropical gardens, terraced lawns and expansive pool decks also make the villa a dreamy destination for weddings. Spectacular sunsets give way to enchanted evenings, with leafy tropical gardens illuminated by spotlights and hurricane lanterns, and the pools glowing an iridescent sapphire blue.

With neighbouring temples and rice fields to explore, the villa gives a fascinating glimpse into traditional life in Bali. Welcoming local staff include a Villa Manager who will be happy to share cultural insights, while the talented private chef will prepare gourmet meals to preference. But if you want to check out the latest restaurant or beach club, trendy Canggu is just nine kilometres away.
