4BR Tropical Joglo Villa in Umalas

There are villas in Bali, and then there are villas that feel like a different era entirely. Set on 1,000 m² in a quiet residential pocket of Tegal Cupek, Umalas, this single-storey joglo home brings genuine Javanese craftsmanship to everyday living; a soaring timber roof, carved four-poster beds, antique furniture, and open-air pavilion spaces that breathe with the garden rather than close it out.

The layout is single-storey throughout, which makes it unusually practical for families with young children. The four bedrooms are arranged as two adjacent pairs, each pair sharing a corridor, so parents and children, or two families, can be close without being on top of each other. All four bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, two with open-air showers set against stone walls and one with a freestanding bathtub, giving each room its own character.

The heart of the villa is the joglo pavilion, a large open-air living and dining area under the traditional pitched roof, with a daybed for afternoon reading and a dining table that opens directly onto the pool and garden. It's the kind of space where daily life slows down naturally.

Outside, the garden is lush and well-kept, with 1,000 m² giving genuine room to move, a rarity at this price point in Umalas. The private pool sits at the centre, flanked by outdoor seating and a shaded lounge area.

For families relocating to Bali, the location is one of this villa's strongest assets. The Lycée Français de Bali (https://lfbali.com), Bali's only French-accredited school, running from kindergarten through Baccalaureate, is only 8 minutes away, as the school is based in Umalas itself on Jalan Umalas Kauh. Canggu Community School is also 5 minutes away, and Seminyak and Petitenget are reachable in around 10 minutes.

Cleaning and linen change are included. Fully furnished.
