Villa Akira: A Six-Bedroom Estate with Two Pools in Ubud

Two private homes in one tropical garden. A four-bedroom villa and a two-bedroom pavilion share the land and little else: each has its own pool, entrance and kitchen, set among palms and rice fields in Petulu.

Villa Akira was planned as two private worlds in one garden. The main villa and the pavilion share the land but not the day. Each has its own gate, its own pool and deck, its own kitchen and dining table, so a family can settle into one while guests take the other, or the two can be kept as separate residences side by side.

The main villa is a two-storey sweep of white curves. Every bedroom is ensuite, and the living and dining space opens through floor-to-ceiling glass onto the pool. Above, an upper terrace of 129 sqm looks out over the palms. On the roof, a 32 sqm terrace with a barbecue is kept for the hour when the light turns gold.

Water runs through the architecture. The main pool stretches like a ribbon along the front of the house, with loungers set into the shallow end so that you read and rest with the palms at eye level. The pavilion has a pool and deck of its own, quieter and closer to the garden.

Inside, the mood is warm and unhurried: timber and woven textures, soft linen in terracotta and sand tones, ceiling fans turning slowly above long dining tables. The glass doors slide fully open, and the garden walks in.

Petulu is a village on the green northern edge of Ubud, known for the white herons that return to its trees each evening. The markets, studios and cafés of Ubud are a short drive away, and the setting stays rural and calm.

The estate can be one large family house, an owner’s residence with a guest house, or two private residences for guests. The land is held on a 24-year leasehold title with the option to extend, and your advisor will confirm the land area against the documents.
