If you’ve ever stood at the edge of a cliff in Bali and watched the sun melt into the ocean, you’ll understand the quiet magic that Ungasan holds. Located in the southernmost part of the island, Ungasan is known for its laid-back charm, limestone cliffs, and sweeping sea views — and in a quiet corner of this landscape sits a villa that captures it all.
Recently we visited a four-bedroom home perched in Ungasan, and every corner of it seems designed to soak in that endless horizon.
A Quiet Arrival and a Hint of the Ocean
When you first approach the villa, the surrounding neighborhood is calm — residential with hints of development, but not overly crowded. There’s a sense that you’re somewhere special, away from the bustle of Canggu and the party energy of Seminyak, yet still close enough to reach iconic beaches like Balangan within 15 minutes.
In the first photo, you see the front façade — clean, modern lines, built across four levels, but somehow still blending into the slope of the land. You wouldn’t guess from the street just how expansive it becomes as you walk inside.
Space, Light, and the Little Details
Stepping into the second floor — the heart of the home — the design opens up. High ceilings stretch above the open-plan living and dining area, and large windows pour sunlight across the polished floors. From the photo of the living space, you can see how the layout is both functional and airy. There’s no clutter, just smart design choices: neutral tones, soft lighting, and furniture that invites you to sit and stay a while.
The kitchen sits just to the side — not hidden away, but part of the space. Think Sunday mornings with pancakes on the stove, or late-night chats over wine. The connection between rooms feels intentional.
Bedrooms with a View (and a Breeze)
Two of the bedrooms sit on the third floor, tucked away for privacy but still easy to reach. They’re well-sized, with their own ensuite bathrooms. But it’s the fourth floor that holds the crown jewel: two bedrooms that offer direct ocean views.
From the photograph taken at the edge of the bed, you can see the blue line of the sea meeting the sky. Waking up to that view — every single morning — is something you can’t put into words. Add to that the sliding doors that let the breeze in, and you’ve got a space that feels more like a retreat than a bedroom.
A Yard Made for Afternoons
Outside, the villa surprises again. The backyard isn’t just a small plunge pool with tiles around it — it’s a proper yard, with space to host, relax, and breathe. The photo by the pool shows a generous swimming area flanked by sun loungers, a grassy section perfect for kids or pets, and even a shaded BBQ corner.
From the second-floor balcony, there’s another view — this time more peaceful than dramatic. It’s the kind of spot where time slows down. You might start a book there and realize two hours have passed without looking at your phone once.
Built for Living, Not Just for Staying
There are small details throughout this home that hint at long-term comfort: a dedicated office space, a home gym, and a staff room tucked neatly on the lower floor. It’s not just a villa for vacation — it feels livable. Like it was built with routines in mind, not just relaxation.
Thoughts on Ungasan and This Villa
What struck us most wasn’t just the architecture or the view — it was the balance. This home doesn’t scream luxury, but it quietly impresses. It fits the landscape. It understands Ungasan — a place of cliffs, calm, and steady sun.
For anyone dreaming of Bali living — or even considering future property plans — this villa is a good example of what thoughtful design looks like in the south. Spacious, breezy, and grounded.
