Wine chillers, espresso machines, private pools and barrel-like bathtubs - we take a peek inside The Villas at Bisma Eight...
Honestly, we can’t get enough of Bisma Eight. This award-winning boutique hotel in the heart of Ubud is always our go-to when visiting Bali’s cultural capital, with its gorgeous jungle-hugged suites that make you feel right at home. Well, this fabulous Ubud stay has gone and done it again, this time with the recent opening of The Villas at Bisma Eight.
Just like the boutique hotel itself, these new one- and two- bedroom villas are oh-so homely, luxed-up with five-star creature comforts. We’re talking in-villa espresso machines for your morning fix, wine chillers for your vino-fuelled evenings by the pool (your own private lap pool, no less) and full kitchenettes so you never have to leave your luxury abode if you so choose. And if you do decide to step outside? Ubud’s best bits are right on your doorstep…
You’ll love it because… each Bisma Eight Villa feels like coming home to a modernised Ubud, with its luxurious cosiness and effortless comfort alongside stunning nods to Balinese craftsmanship. Awash in gentle natural light, muted hues of white and terracotta, and furnished with locally-sourced timber, these beautiful abodes gift you a true sense of Bali, all the way from the open-air living spaces to the lush secluded gardens…
You’ll want to try the… Japanese inspired bathtub. One of our favourite features at Bisma Eight has always been the baths – giant cask-like soaking tubs that look like oversized wine barrels. Well, these glorious tubs have made their way to the villas too, set inside the en-suite bathrooms and strewn with Balinese flowers at bath-time.
Come back for the… location, location, location! The villas are just a one minute walk from the ever-famous Monkey Forest, just perfect for exploring the town centre on foot. And yet, despite this downtown address, the villas are beyond serene, just a short stroll down a quiet side-street that’s fringed by rice fields and wide open spaces. You’ll feel a world away, in the heart of it all. And psst – the villas are also home to the stunning Mandala Spa and the Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, Embers.
Happy holidays, Honeys!
