The compound

One gate, three houses, one team. Each villa has its own pool and garden; you share nothing but the staff and the view.

The privacy of a private house, with the care of a small hotel. Housekeeping, pool and garden are looked after every day, and a concierge answers on WhatsApp. The rest of the time, you won’t see anyone.

  • 3 private villas
  • 7 bedrooms
  • 4 private pools
  • Up to 15 guests

Wellness, the Ubud way

A day here runs on Ubud time.

It is --:-- in Ubud right now.

  1. Mist on the valley

    The ravine below Villa Jacques stays white until about seven. A private yoga teacher can meet you on the terrace.

  2. Breakfast by the water

    Fruit, coffee, or a floating breakfast in your own pool. Tell the team the night before.

  3. Out into Ubud

    Rice terraces, water temples, the Monkey Forest. Our drivers know the hours before the crowds.

  4. Swim, read, sleep

    The hottest hours belong to the pool, the hanging chair and the daybed.

  5. Massage at home

    A Balinese massage on your own terrace, booked through the team, no taxi involved.

  6. Sunset swim

    The jungle goes gold, then blue. The frogs start. Nobody needs to be anywhere.

  7. Dinner, in or out

    Cook in a full kitchen, order in, or let us book a table in town and the car to get there.

Questions

Before you book.

How does booking direct work?

Pick your dates on the villa’s live calendar, add any extras and pay securely online. A member of the team checks everything and sends your booking confirmation within the hour (8 am – 10 pm Bali time) by email and WhatsApp. If for any reason we can’t confirm your dates, you’re refunded in full.

Is it safe to pay you directly?

Yes. Payments go through Stripe, the payment platform used by millions of businesses worldwide, and your card details never reach us. Each villa is registered with the Indonesian authorities (NIB numbers listed in the footer), and our track record is public: hundreds of verified reviews on Airbnb, linked from this site.

What’s included in the price?

Final cleaning, linen and towels changed every three days, daily pool and garden care, WiFi, air conditioning and parking. Taxes & service are included.

How do we get from the airport?

We can send a private car to Ngurah Rai airport for $30 (up to 5 guests with luggage). The drive takes about 1 h 15, more at rush hour. Add it when you book or tell us your flight on WhatsApp.

Is it suitable for children?

Villa Marc was designed for families, with a kids’ room with bunk beds and a slide and a fenced garden. A cot is available in every villa with 5 days’ notice. As with any pool, please keep a close eye on little ones.

Can we change our dates later?

Once a booking is confirmed, dates can’t be changed. If your plans might move, tell us before you pay the deposit.

What about mosquitoes and wildlife?

Bali is tropical and so are its neighbours: geckos, butterflies, the odd ant trail. The team fogs regularly, cleans daily and leaves repellent in every villa, but nobody can promise a mosquito-free jungle.

Can I work from the villa?

Every villa has WiFi and a dedicated workspace; Villa Jacques has fibre, fast enough for video calls.

How do we get around?

Our drivers can take you anywhere on the island ($45 for 8 hours, fuel included), or we can deliver a scooter to the villa.

What is your cancellation policy?

30+ days before arrival: full refund. 14–29 days before arrival: 50% of the stay refunded. Less than 14 days: non-refundable.

Your dates, your villa.

Check availability across all three houses, pay securely online and get your confirmation within the hour.
