Loved our stay here. We stayed in fancy hotels in other areas but nothing beat our time in Ubud in this villa. The pool is bigger than it looks, it outdoor showers are great. There’s minimal kitchen inventory but enough to make a few meals. We didn’t know the two rooms are in in either end of the house. As o
We have been to Bali dozens of times and always stayed in the traditional tourist areas of Seminyak, Canggu, so though we would give the Northern Beached region a go.
WELL, what an extremely amazing choice this was, as the Villa Yudhistira experience was AMAZING. The villa, villa location, villa setting and most of all the local villa staff made this 10 day break one of our best ever.
The villa itself is nestled on the beachfront in the Brongbong Village area, not far from Seririt (15 mins by car), Lovina (30 mins) and Singaraja (45 mins).
The villa staff are what made the stay exceptional (and we travel a lot) - Budi coordinates any chosen activities and the staff, doing so with a very easy going, approachable manner (very good English). The villa staff had three ladies (Surya, Ewik & Kadek) who cooked all our meals as required, using local ingredients. They were all super friendly, understood our requests and cooked some great local dishes. Not to mention they also quietly kept the villa looking immaculate.
There is also Kormang the gardener who daily maintains the pool and spacious garden area.
This villa stay would certainly rank up there as the best we have had in Bali, across decades of travel there. We loved it so much this time that on the last day, we rebooked Villa Yudhistira for two weeks in October 2024. This is more than a villa stay - it can be described as a villa stay with local "family", genuinely ensuring that the guests have the optimal Bali experience.
Returned For The Second Time - Can't Wait For The Third.

With the amazing properties throughout Bali, you are not short of options for your holiday. Yet, we returned to this specific Villa because of everything it offers.
There are just not enough superlatives to suitably describe Samuh Hill.
From our warm welcome at the airport to our heartfelt departure, the service was consistently exemplary, surpassing all expectations.
There was nothing that the team wouldn't do for you - and always with the biggest of smiles.
My wife and I spent 5 days here with no intention of leaving the villa. And we nearly achieved this, only leaving for 20 mins to visit the local shop - because we ran out of ice creams ...
We took full advantage of Madam Wayan's Restaurant and ordered in every night. Our dinner arrived 30-40 mins after sending the whatsapp message and was beautifully presented on the outside table for us to enjoy with the priceless artwork surrounding us [the view].
I have not found a better view in Bali. To wake up to, to view from the lounge, the pool, the sun bed, to go to sleep with. Everywhere you are enveloped by this priceless backdrop. Only bettered by the powerful Mt Agung staring back at you.
If I have to give one one negative about this place ... it's that it has spoilt me for my next visit. It's like what I imagine flying first class would be like. Once you've done it, it would be extremely hard to go back to the back of the plane.
I truly hope that we get to experience Samuh Hill for a third time.
When opening the gate to our private 2bdrm Villa garden, we knew we were in paradise! The manicured grounds surround the long pool with umbrella covered sun beds at either end. The massive single story Villa has huge glass sliding doors from all rooms which open up to this picturesque pool garden.
The air conditioned bedrooms are both very large and roomy, with a comfy king bed dressed in quality cotton linens, relaxing daybed lounge, huge LED tv, plus blackout curtains for glass sliding doors. Both bedrooms include large ensuite with spacious open shower (one suite also has a bath tub).
The very massive living area includes several big daybed lounges, a beautiful large dinning table in central area, then a huge open kitchen with free standing island bench and all the necessary appliances, dishes and cutlery required for any cooking needs. Outside is a beautiful open covered BBQ area with prep bench and large dinning table.
Most importantly, the staff and management are truely amazing. Manager Gede was always contactable for any queries or extra needs. Daily professional cleaning service, plus fresh linens every 3 days, included. For my husbands birthday, the staff decorated the garden with broken flower peddles laid in amazing designs and a birthday greeting for him, and a lovely arrangement on the dinning table. Truely amazing!
This Villa is located in a quiet residential area about 10min drive to Ubud city with easy access to taxi service.
