Villa Nirvana is located in the village of Penestanan in Ubud, a part of Bali most famous for its art, culture and spirituality as well as breathtaking natural beauty. Villa Nirvana is a haven of tranquility. No cars are allowed to drive by.

Hello, I'm a writer and I own Villa Nirvana, which is a boutique hotel in Bali. It is professionally managed (I could never do it myself!) and the team, led by seasoned hotelier Landra, does a fabulous job . I like meeting people who have a love of life and great stories, wherever they might come from . I travel moderately myself, preferring to stay in small boutique-type establishments that have a unique charm, rather than the conventional five star chains. I don't live in Bali, so I will not personally be your host at Villa Nirvana - though I'll be lucky to be visiting while you're there. But the staff are wonderful and will treat you like family - check out the site for what other guests have had to say. Hope you do go and have a great stay. My life motto: we're here to learn about ourselves, through our lives and the lives of others.

On either side are little warungs (small local eateries), and the occasional art gallery. Beyond lie lush rice-paddies. Amid this beauty and quietude, you’d never guess that you’re just a 15 minute walk away from the centre of Ubud.
