Kubu Sakian Villa is a dream place to stay. Nestled in rice paddy fields in the mountainous jungles of Sidemen, this place is elegant, gorgeous, and comfortable. Putu and the rest of the staff were friendly professionals. The villa I stayed in was modern, eco-friendly on the inside with a spacious bathroom and comfortable beds. The outside was a rustic, wooden build of fine craftsmanship. I could hear my neighbor upstairs at times, moving around on the floor above me. The green, lush vegetation on the grounds included tropical flowers in red, yellow, orange etc. Handsome stone statues of the Buddha or Hindu gods and altars compliment the natural beauty. Their pool is an inviting, blue gem that is always open. The food was pretty good including Balinese, Indonesian, and American dishes. Sometimes the staff were a little slow to clean up after another guest had eaten, but they always did a clean, thorough job. The scooters for rent were in great shape, easy to navigate, and the staff was more than willing to show you how to operate them. There is a white water rafting tour you can book through the villa and massages available. Putu and staff spoke great English, and they were willing to share information about Sidemen, Bali, and Hinduism in general. I highly recommended staying with these guys for your next Bali getaway.
