Villa Sungai and its sister Sungai Gold epitomise a very personal and choreographed experience. They are Bali’s version of a luxury lodge - intimate and bespoke, aimed unashamedly at the high-end international traveller looking for luxury experiential accommodation and adventure in Bali, but Sungai’s ‘luxury’ also comes from its restraint; its confidence in knowing that the spare beauty of this very special place needs little embellishment, and recognizing that travellers’ definition of extravagance has matured since the 90’s to become more experiential, more pared-back.

Whether you need a break, a rest, a little pampering, some refreshment or just a whole lot of cosseting, there is nothing quite like this property which is an amazing synergy of comfort and indulgence, focusing on the luxury of time.
Villa Sungai and Sungai Gold each offer 3 spacious suites, but both villas can be combined to creat one vast 6-bedroom private residence.

GOLD has three dedicated guest suites with plush pillow-top mattressing and bedding and netted canopy over each bed. These are accompanied by huge signature indoor/outdoor bathrooms.
The pavilion cabana suite, with an ensuite bathroom, and there is a large armoire to unpack into opens up onto the pool. Many guests choose to leave some of the blinds up so as to have uninterrupted views of the pool and take in the stars and jungle in a similar way to the most luxurious tented camp experiences in Africa.
Sungai Bali is a distinguished luxury villa with the sophistication, inclusions and full service of the finest hotel, but with the privacy and exclusivity of a private residence. This isn't one of a complex of villas, not a villa within a hotel, but a truly private 'one-off'.
The overall vibe is white, bright and seriously sexy (bespoke white washed teak furniture and touches from Kartell/Philippe Starck ….the finest white linens and softest bath sheets…Acqua Di Parma toiletries). Minimal and understated the guest rooms may be, but modern comforts and deluxe touches have not been overlooked. Monochromatic and with an edited selection of furnishings, they provide comfortable spaces for retreat.
It's available for exclusive-hire only, with a 24-hour butler, chefs, chauffeurs and a team of staff to spoil you. Book the three-suite main Villa Sungai or its smaller sister the two-bedroom, couple-friendly Sungai Gold (aka the ‘Owners' Villa’); or take over both for the ultimate glamorous house party.
The service begins the moment you step off the plane with the VIP airport butler service and the chauffeured transfers that whisk you to the villa where the chefs and staff are dedicated to you alone. The overwhelming memories of a Sungai experience are the magical location, exquisite cuisine, flawless service and immaculately appointed guest rooms. The personal care extended to children, the round-the-clock chauffeur for touring, shopping and nightclubbing, and your personal PA/concierge are also defining features.
