About this property

“Summer Moon, Ricefield Sunset front Private Pool”

Summer Moon is a beautiful private villa nestled in village rice fields, 10 minute drive to central Ubud entertainment, shopping, yoga, art and diverse culinary cuisines.

Sensitively designed by a resident Dutch couple using local materials and techniques, this dream-getaway comfortably sleeps 6 guests (and a baby/toddler cot). All 3 bedrooms feature aircon and luxurious four-poster king-sized beds draped romantically with netting, European mattresses, natural down feather pillows and bed covers.

From the secluded upstairs bedroom and private yoga-sunbathing terrace you will catch glimpses of Mount Agung, the sacred centre of Bali, as it drifts in and out of clouds. In the morning you will hear the quacking ducks being let out into the rice fields as the sun rises through the coconut palms which line your private river.

All rooms have ceiling fans, and the Balinese alang-alang (grass) thatched roofs are built to maximize the natural flow of air, capturing beautiful cool breezes. The three indoor-outdoor bathrooms, one with a bathtub, are a real highlight with beautiful local stone tiles and tropical flowers growing beside your shower. Fresh bath linens and flowers add to the air of quiet luxury.

If you feel like cooking Summer Moon has a fully equipped kitchen including a large refrigerator if you need to store special foods or medicines, and our local in-villa Chef, Wayan Suriani is delighted to cook for guests on request with 24 hour notice as well as provide traditional Balinese cooking class for our guests.

With many sites to see in Bali, Summer Moon offers the perfect getaway for those lazy days in-between when a good book and a refreshing swim overlooking the rice fields can offer some much needed peace. The sunsets are always spectacularly different with light shows that never disappoint.

If you want to mix with other guests in the area, there is a larger 14 meter shared pool that includes a shallow wading area for children and sun deck. Or you can wander the rice paddies, enjoying the relaxed, friendly ambience of village life.

We have a dedicated driver, Nyoman, who can be scheduled 24 hours in advance for Ubud outings or longer day tours anywhere on the island that your imagination can take you. We can also reserve a motor scooter at very reasonable rates prior to your arrival.

Note*
Along with the romance of living with nature and the amazing peace it offers, keep in mind that it is also part of a natural ecosystem where critters may make their way into your living space. Summer Moon has a signature, eco-friendly moisturizing spray made from Lemon Grass, Clove and Citronella essential oils to deter unwanted mosquitos and bugs. Additionally, the staff can spray the house during turndown service for you.

Great Spot

We loved our stay at Summer Moon Villa. The villa has a calming environment set in a lush backdrop overlooking the rice fields and away from the craziness of the Ubud town centre. We we're able to disconnect and relax. We had a great time.

Beautiful stay in the rice paddies but close to Ubud

We really enjoyed a great week at Summer Moon, myself husband and teenage daughter. It is a very tranquil location but on the outskirts of Ubud so close to get to shops and restaurants. You do need transport - we used Nyoman (or his son) to drive us everywhere and that worked out very well but if you wanted to be more mobile you would need to hire bikes / car. The housekeeping staff were excellent as was Nyoman the driver, who we would definitely recommend. The villa itself is beautifully designed and in a really perfect setting. Beds were comfortable and we had a relaxing but cultural stay!

Everything was perfect from being picked up at the airport by Nyoman, the beautiful space, the lovely woman who made the delicious breakfasts, the days trips with Nyoman and the cleanliness and spaciousness of the villa. A glorious way to spend four days.

Erg mooi huis, rustig gelegen in tussen de rijstvelden op 15 min van Ubud. Grote living en 3 kamers met eigen badkamer. Prive zwembadje ideaal. Perfecte ontvangst en uitleg van Made en ‘s ochtends een uitgebreid ontbijt. Nyoman en Putu zijn de chauffeuurs die je overal heenbrengen. Enige gemis: een wasmachine.

Awesome Ubud villa in the middle of rice fields

Stayed at the villa for 4 nights with my partner and we could not have asked for a better location or villa in Ubud. The property is outside of Ubud centre and a bit set-back from the road which allowed us to quietly enjoy the view and amenities of the villa. The stunning view of rice fields in all three rooms and pool was great although we primarily slept in the room by the pool as that was the only room with air-condition. The second floor room has a view to two different rice fields that were in different stage of rice production. Breakfast was prepared every morning by two sweet ladies who will be missed, Made and Ketut. They made sure that we had everything we need up to and including assistance in planning a dinner at the villa with 3 friends. Made and Ketut graciously coordinated two couple massage appointments for us even though we were running a bit late to one of the appointments. Most importantly, they kept the villa clean, neat and organized while giving us the privacy we were looking for in booking Summer Moon. For transport, we decided to hire Nyoman for most of our activities. Nyoman is a patient and careful driver who knows his way around Ubud and can offer suggestions if needed. Overall, we would highly recommend Summer Moon Villa and would not hesitate to go back the next time we are in Bali. The hospitality and friendly personal service provided by the staff is truly special and will be missed.

A natural and beautiful villa away from the hustle and bustle of busy Ubud, but not to far to enjoy Ubud city. So peaceful - slept so well. Staff were amazing and such a treat to have daily cooked breakfasts in the villa. A well presented and very clean villa amongst the beautiful ricefields.

Beautiful villa in the rice paddies

I have been to Ubud about a dozen times over the past 15 years, and my travel companions have been even more over the past 35 years. We've watched it become very busy, the traffic heavy, the town has lost it's quiet spots. So we looked outside of Ubud and found this fabulous haven south of town in Lodtunduh. We rented Summer Moon Villa, which isn't this exact one but has 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, a private pool and is right on the rice padi. Very clean, the friendly and happy staff made us very tasty breakfasts every morning and the security cards were super nice and walked us to our villa when we came home after dark. We had a kitchen that we could use any time, which was great. They have teamed up with masseuses (highly recommend!) and a local chef who can come to your villa to give you a cooking class (wish we had done this). A highlight was hearing the village preparing for a ngaben (a cremation ceremony) - the singing and beleganjur music carried so well over the rice fields so we could hear the ceremony in the distance. Very nice, peaceful and beautiful villa.

Hi Anonymous family! I promise you, Summer Moon is the exact same villa that you stayed in! I am thrilled that you enjoyed your stay here. The villa Manager Nik said that you were a wonderful family to host. I'm glad you love the signing and belenganjur music. I agree it's one of the highlights of Bali. Looking forward to seeing you again soon at Summer Moon! Warmest wishes, Ulrike

Magnificent

Being a Travel Agent I have experienced many villas and hotels and I have to say Summer Moon is my favorite. From the moment we arrived the staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. Organising us transport, in villa massage and dinners and anything else we needed. The breakfast was to die for and oh how i wish i could whip up banana pancakes and scrambled eggs that quick and tasty. Everything about the villa makes for a relaxing and secluded stay. Will definitely be recommending this to client and friends. We will be back. I loved that the villa supplied a mobile phone making it very easy when you needed something. Even though there was a little supermarket a 15 min walk from the villa i would recommend that there was a service to pre order some grocery's to be there upon your arrival.

Absolutely Incredible

Our stay here was absolutely incredible. Summer Moon is stunning, from the moment we arrived we were in heaven! There was more than enough room for all 6 of us (3 couples). Summer Moon's fantastic layout even allows for you to spend time relaxing alone. The staff are incredible and so brilliantly accommodating, beyond expectation. A driver was provided whenever we needed one, although you are a great walking distance from the centre of town. The manager (Nick) is always available, and never far away should you need any advice or assistance. Thank you! We truly had the most amazing experience and look forward to planning our next trip!

SUblime and tranquil

We'll be leaving the villa shortly, and I to say what a wonderful place Summer Moon is. It has been idyllic. Last time my wife and I stayed in Bali, it was 1995, and we stayed in a nice guest house in Ubud. After going into the town a few times this trip, we are so glad we chose Summer Moon. It is tranquil and serene, esp since Ubud is now so busy and almost frenetic. (A stark difference from 19 years ago). We particularly liked the staff. They are all very pleasant and have big, beaming smiles every time we have spoken to them. In particular, we think Nyoman (driver) is a great asset to your villas. He's a very pleasant and knowledgable man who took us to see things we missed last time around. We had a great time, significantly because of him.

The Right Place to Stay in Ubud

We were a party of 6 people and we decided to spend a little bit more money than the usual on our stay at Ubud. It was definitely the best choice we made... The staff was incredibly friendly, the breakfast was made according to our requests, and the house was simply lovely. The decoration of the house, the porch and the swimming pool exceeded our expectations... The surroundings were simply stunning!! We loved our stay! Thank you very much for everything.

Unbelievable, breathtaking, stunning!

We arrived at the Summer Moon in the evening and it was like walking into heaven - the billowing white curtains, the open plan - very ethereal and perfect for a relaxing holiday. The rest of the holiday was amazing and peaceful. When I booked this villa, I was considering it among a few others. All I can say is, if you're in the same situation as me, just book it. You will not regret it - you'll only want to return (or in our case never want to leave). The owner of the villa is extremely accommodating, answering all my dumb questions, and she really took the time to pay attention to all the finer details: A perfect pickup arrangement in the Denpasar airport, arranging a baby cot (even though I didn't ask, she made sure our infant had his own bed!) and checking in to ensure we were all set. The villa has 5 star amenities and conveniences so you never feel like you're "winging it" and anytime we needed something the lovely staff was right there to take care of us - the manager Nik has perfect English and he was super helpful as well. You can tell that the owner really pays attention to the details with this villa. My only regret is that we didn't stay a bit longer because I really could have stayed here for weeks! Thank you Anna for an amazing stay. We will be back - and next time you will need to evict us!

Stunning, relaxing, extraordinary views.

The Villa is beautifully equipped and maintained and looks just like the gorgeous photos. It was everything we expected and more. The Villa was well equipped with everything we needed. The indoor/outdoor bathrooms were particularly gorgeous and the design of the house created such wonderful breezes and air flow. Excellent background information was provided by the owner. Nik, the on site Manager was extremely friendly and efficient - it was a lovely security to be able to call Nik for assistance. The staff were all warm and friendly. The property is only 5 minutes drive from the heart of Ubud but provided a beautiful private oasis away from town. The private and communal pools are beautiful and well maintained. When we could wrench ourselves away from the day bed and pool we loved the cafes of Ubud (Cafe Lotus, Indus and Casa Luna were favourites), the Monkey Forest and local ceremonies and village visits suggested by Nyoman, the driver recommended by the Owner. Nyoman even took us to a local temple ceremony and helped us dress for the occasion. Cooking delivered to the villa by the lovely Wayan was exquisite - better than most of the restaurants and it was so lovely to eat at home. Wayan took us on a market tour, gave us a cooking class at the Villa and taught us how to make offerings. A most blissful holiday! Thank you.

Wonderful, tranquil and stylish villa

Summer moon is a stylish and peaceful villa. the 3 bedrooms are peaceful, the pool is on the edge of the ricefields and the outlook from the terraces is beautiful. The 2 bathrooms are beautifully designed and the kitchen is well equipped. Staff are a gentle, friendly and supportive prescence who make lovely breakfasts and clean the villa daily. The villa is set on the edge of a small complex of homes, it provides a retreat from the busy life of Ubud which is easily accessible by car, or by a walk through ricefields. We loved our stay and will return next year.

Soaking up the the views at Summer Moon!

The location of Summer Moon is beautiful and the peaceful land life gives you so much. We spent a lot of time just at and around the house, hanging in the pool, lying on one of the sun beds and soaking up the views. The villagers are very friendly and just continued their life next to us, amazing. The house, the furniture and decor, everything is just beautiful. As mentioned before, the age of our kids (10,8,6) was just right - as they are all very good swimmers. And although the evening of arrival there was some concern of who should sleep where and who should get the room with the aircon, in the end it worked out fine. Sleeping in the upper room was perfect, doors and windows wide open and waking up with the view of the rice fields - unique! Your staff are very very friendly! We loved the breakfast, the omelette was delicious and my kids told me that the pancakes were just perfect - that I should watch them making it, they were the best! And the fresh fruit platter, excellent! Nyoman is a very good and safe driver, he took us around to beautiful places and could give us very good information. What else to say? Our stay met and succeeded our expectations! We would definitely like to come back and hopefully will while we are living in Asia. We did not miss the beach at all, in the contrary upon arrival at the airport and standing still in the traffic jam, my middle daughter made it clear to us that she does not want to stay where it is so busy and crowded! All three kids did not want to travel to the beach during our stay but loved to hang around Summer Moon. One of the highlights for them, but also my husband and myself were very impressed, was the Elephant Safari Park and of course a stroll through Monkey Forrest. Anna, we wish you all the best with Summer Moon and maybe one day we will meet. Best wishes, Carolin with family

My stay at Summer Moon was simply amazing!

Dear Anna, I just want to say that my 3 week stay at Summer Moon was one of the best, most interesting and relaxing experiences I have ever had. The Villa was simply 5 star plus! It is probably the best Villa in the whole of Bali, beautifully designed, modern Balinese furnishings, excellent facilities...outstanding!! I also really enjoyed getting to know the lovely staff who made me breakfast every morning and looked after the Villa, they were very attentive to my needs ( especially the Villa Manager, Nik) and made my stay even more relaxing, a real credit to themselves. The excellent location of Summer Moon amongst the rice fields and near the local village enhanced my Balinese experience and helped my understand and appreciate the beauty of Ubud, the wonderful culture and amazingly peaceful and beautiful people. I will certainly be heading back for another stay really soon and have been raving about Summer Moon to all my friends back in Australia. Thank you for a wonderful, memorable, relaxing and enjoyable holiday and experience!!!

Hi Tony, It's so great that you were able to spend 3 weeks really getting into the experience of Ubud and life on a rice field! It's equally wonderful to hear that you loved and explored the village life (there is so much to see and do if you here if you choose to stay out of Ubud). The staff let me know that they enjoyed your sense of humor particularly, and we can't wait to have you back for another stay sometime soon. Warmest regards from all at Summer Moon...

Perfect luxury in a sea of green without any fuss!

Our time in this beautiful villa (poetically named Summer Moon) was like a dream. It truly was one of the most perfect and relaxing holiday experiences we have ever had. We like beautiful natural surrounds and architecture while being very comfortable, but also like a bit of independence. Sometimes all the attention at luxury hotels or villas can be a bit fussy. At Summer Moon we enjoyed the best of both worlds. The natural rice-field, river-edge architecture and interior design is just divine! One of my favorite moments was floating in the private infinity pool under the full moon: rice fields and fireflies one way, and the white villa glowing in the moonlight the other.... I started laughing because it was so unbelievably, ridiculously beautiful! Maybe that's how the place got its name? In the morning we were greeted by the incredibly friendly villa staff with delicious omlettes, tropical fruits and strong espresso coffee... just the way we liked it! They were always happy to answer questions about the village and the area, and ask us about children and family or just chat to each other and share the happiest laughter while we got on with breakfast and reading the paper over the reliable wireless connection. After breakfast and a little discreet cleaning they would slip away with big smiles. It felt like being a guest in the village home of the kindest people on earth! Days in the villa were spent reading on the day bed and sofas, gazing into the fields as groups of ducks waddled and grazed, staring off at the banyan trees and villages in the distance, and watching the small irrigation river float by. Even washing was a pleasurable surprise with three private, landscaped, outdoor showers and baths to choose from. We took bigger outings by car with the local driver Nyoman who was delightful and informative, and hired a motorbike for smaller trips into Ubud and to local warung restaurants. I could go on and on about how perfect it was. I've been asked a couple of times if the pictures are real... yes they are.... so if you stay at summer moon you might find yourself, like me, laughing about just how unbelievably beautiful the world can be sometimes! Thanks Bali, and thanks Summer Moon and all who make it so perfect! Peter

OVER THE MOON!

The photos of Summer Moon do not do justice to how stunningly beautiful this villa is. The extraordinary design and attention to detail is superb. The wonderful use of light and space, with furnishings that were luxurious yet comfortable made our stay a delight. Summer Moon is in beautiful genuine rural setting yet minutes from Ubud. Each morning we were spoiled with a delicious breakfast. All the staff were wonderful a big thank you to them and congratulations Anna ......Summer Moon is stunning! we will never forget our stay there and will rave and recommend Summer Moon to all our family and friends.

About the host

Hosted by Todd

Host profile image
Summer Moon is the realisation of one of my dreams. Summer Moon for me is a place to relax, to unwind and recharge from the everyday pace of busy life.

Why they chose this property

Summer Moon offers all the benefits of exotic and tropical Bali, without the business of a beach-side location. Ubud has a focus on well-being and health offering yoga, a delicious array of local and western foods and varied cultural activities such as Balinese cooking, pottery, batik, jewelry making and so much more. You will love the peace and beauty of the rice fields and watching the sunrise over Mount Agung and sunsets over the Batu Karu Mountains.

What makes this property unique

To watch the sunrise over the eastern side of the Villa is one of my daily rituals. This is not a party house. It is set in the village of Lodtunduh 2.5 km's South of Ubud on a rice field. Watch the locals tend to the rice, the ducks in rows quacking across the field and children fishing in the river in the afternoons. This is what makes my time at Summer Moon special.
