Villa Asmara is just 4 minutes from downtown Ubud yet peaceful & quiet, with one of the best views in all of Bali. Perfect for two with a gorgeous pool and right on the rice fields, it's tropical living at it finest - Heaven at an Earthly Price!
Asmara at Harmony means "Romance" in the local language and it's the perfect love nest for a honeymoon or for singles or couples seeking absolute privacy. Asmara has a huge deck and meditation garden right on the rice fields and both sunrise and mountain views to the north as well as a panoramic vista of the terraces to the north and west. An open plan living room with fully retractable doors and a full kitchen allows for indoor/outdoor living and the spacious master bedroom is designed for intimacy and privacy with its oversized luxury canopied queen bed and rich decor.
Designed for personal indulgence, the en-suite stone and granite garden bathroom comes with a a lovely rain shower and a unique open "museum style" sculpture frame wall looking out to a Buddha in a private garden.One of the favorites of Asmara's guests is to awaken before dawn and watch the early light lift the mist over the ocean of rice and experience a Bali Sunrise right from your private deck with coffee in hand. It's an experience like no other in Bali.
The gorgeous Harmony 15 meter infinity pool on the edge of the rice fields is only steps away from Asmara through Harmony's lush landscaping. Situated on the very edge of the bluff overlooking the rice it has a shallow end seating area for relaxing after you've done your laps! It's central for use by the five villas at Harmony yet due to its size and differing guest schedules, it's rare not to have it to yourself. We don't have pool hours so feel free to take a moonlight swim at 3 am!
Your stay includes a fabulous daily cooked breakfast prepared in your villa each morning (for two) of delicious pancakes or eggs, fresh tropical fruit tea or coffee and juice to start your day. Our onsite staff will help with all of your needs from arranging tours and sightseeing, car or scooter rental, personal laundry and sight-seeing itineraries as well as giving you tips for the best shopping and massage in Ubud. A private chef can also be arranged to cook you traditional Indonesian cuisine right in the privacy of your own villa in your fully equipped kitchen. Or, if you would like to do it yourself, book a private cooking class. Our chef is very reasonable and an amazing cook!

Centrally located for all of Bali's sights and activities with Sanur beach about 12 miles away and Seminyak, Kuta and Legian are easy drives for a whole day out with a different vibe. Or you can go up the hill to Kintamani and the hot springs at Lake Batur in an hour or so. Temples abound everywhere - from Besakih, the "Mother Temple" to Tanah Lot on the ocean (two of the most famous and holy) and we can organize tours to anywhere on the island and to Lombok too....It's cooler in the Ubud area than the beach. A/C is not needed at Harmony due to our location right on the edge of the rice fields. We almost always get a breeze and Asmara has 2 powerful overhead fans and a high ceiling to keep the air flowing. You'll find our design for indoor/outdoor living works for your comfort.
We can also arrange the following services: • Yoga classes • Massage • Car rental • Car and driver • Scooter rental • Bike rental • Laundry service (Extra charge) • Tours can be arranged • Airport pickup and delivery (Extra charge).
You'll likely encounter ceremonies, celebrations, weddings, a cremation perhaps (a big event in Bali) and the many local temple festivals. But most of all you'll see (depending on when you visit) the fascinating cycle of rice farming from preparing the fields, planting seedlings, thinning out the new rice, watching the ducks do their amazing dances, to harvesting, threshing and drying.
