Villa Awang Awang Description
Awang-Awang can be translated as floating in the space between heaven and earth, the perfect description for this beautiful villa perched on the edge of a gorge with breathtaking views of the sacred Petanu River and lush tropical forest.Villa Awang Awang Overview
Situated in the cool highlands 5 kms from Ubud, famous for its fine art galleries, restaurants and rich cultural life, the villa is a 50 minute drive from the air-port. The ten minute drive from Ubud meanders through stunning scenery of lush rice-fields, mountains and the sacred volcano Gunung Agung towering in the distance.
The house was designed by the Balinese architect Ir. Ida Bagus Wiadnyana according to ancient traditions with the correct alignments toward the holy mountain. Traditional materials are use throughout to harmonize with the environment - alang-alang thatched roofing, hand-made terracotta floor tiles, stone and marble, all crafted by local artists. The house is cooled by fans and natural cross breezes over water gardens.
Entry is via the traditional Balinese gate-way protected by stone guardians. The stone pathway lined with heliconia, orchids, gingers and frangipani leads through tranquil lotus and water-lily filled fish ponds. Antique Javanese doors open onto the large main living area with a soaring alang-alang roof and spectacular views from the open terrace.
