BEBEK TEPI SAWAH VILLAS: THE PROMISE OF SECLUSION
Mornings in Ubud, Bali have been an unending cycle of sitting at the veranda overlooking the verdant rice
paddies in terraces. This is our second
home in Bali, Indonesia – Bebek Tepi
Sawah Villas.
The Balinese-style
thatched-roof villas of Bebek Tepi Sawah
add character and a sense of belongingness to the cultural center of Bali.
We were checked-in on a
private villa just beside the reception area. Our villa has a traditional
Balinese gate for privacy. As we enter
the private compound, we took a flight of stairs as our room was situated at
the second floor, then we settled and shared the villa for the days to
come. Complimentary welcome drinks, cold
towel and slippers were likewise provided.
Bebek Tepi Sawah offers five types of villas. We were checked-in at Ubud Villa, a villa
with double bed room, white mosquito net drapes and a private veranda. The room
was indeed spacious and feels like an ancestral house. It was so homey with a
free wifi-connection, mini bar, safety box, hair dryer, bathrobe, laundry
service, slippers and tea and coffee making facility. (click to check other room types and rates)
With the theme of an exotic
tropical landscape, modern amenities blend with the traditional Balinese
settings. The indoor bathroom itself exemplifies
such. The spacious bathroom with a tub
enclosed on a marble tile floorings enhances the elegance of the room. The
adjoining shower area is roofless with a rain shower making one feel in
communion with nature.
Our daily breakfast is
served at the corner of the rice fields with a wide selection of cuisine,
ranging from contemporary to Balinese specialties. The restaurant is surrounded by two indoor
swimming pools, each with a unique interior design and landscape. For breakfast, I have tried both the Western
and Indonesian cuisine on the number days that we have stayed at the villa
resort.
The Balinese have a great
admiration for duck. Duck in Balinese
language is bebek. Though we were not able to find live
ducks roaming around the vicinity, the sculptures are quite visible in number,
including the bebek-inspired
landscape of one of the indoor swimming pools of the resort.
The other swimming pool on
the other hand, is inspired by the traditional Balinese mythical personas.
Bebek Tepi Sawah Villas is like a huge gallery with a number of sculptures
displayed in a tropical garden. The
richness of exquisite Ubud art and culture is captured by the interior design
and landscape of the resort. There are
likewise paintings from local artists displayed on the rooms and on the
resident gallery named Nyoman Sumerta Fine Art Gallery, which is free of
admission.
The resort villa appears to
be secluded providing the utmost security and privacy every guest intends to
achieve. But what is remarkable of the
said resort is the fact that notwithstanding the promise of seclusion, it is
situated near the highlights of the Ubud district.
While wandering within the
center of Ubud, free shuttle service is likewise provided to and from the Ubud
center. The service starts from 9:00 AM
until 10:00PM. It truly is helpful and
poses no hassle while making the tour around the Ubud’s main area as it lessens
the worries of how to reach our hotel during late nights. Our usual pick-up point was at the Tourist
Information Center of Ubud right across the Ubud Palace.
