Villa Pondok Sapi

Villa Pondok Sapi – Ubud Villa

Villa Kelusa is combination of two villas, Villa Pondok Sapi and Villla Pondok Surya, nestled in the small villa of Kelusa, just a 15 minute drive from Ubud. Though remotely located and untouched by modern life, Kelusa is easily accessible and is just a few minutes away from the wide array of activities in Ubud. The villa is a 10-minute drive from Elephant Safari Park and a 1.5 hour drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport.

Pondok Sapi, which means “pavilion of the cow” is named after the ubiquitous Balinese thatched sheds which dot the jungles and also shelter the farmers in their rice terraces. Villa Pondok Sapi was designed as the private residence of a retired American writer and television journalist. Three separate buildings make up Villa Pondok Sapi. The Main Pavilion contains a gourmet kitchen, dining and living areas with breathtaking views of the Pakuseba Canyon, full bathroom and an enclosed, air-conditioned media room that can be converted into a luxury bedroom.

The next building is the air conditioned Glass House, a two-story glass-walled studio with a library and two spacious in-suite master bedrooms with king beds.  The Northernmost building is an open air Pool Cabana with a private infinity pool and lounge area, with access to a large, landscaped lawn and rock garden. All buildings are perched atop a ridge, above tiled rice paddies that cascade down an enormous, steep ravine to the Pakuseba River and face West to maximize stunning sunset views over nine ancient volcanoes.
