“Thank you for making this holiday the best family holiday ever. We will certainly recommend Villa Raja to our friends and other family. The staff have gone out of their way to make this villa feel like home and now we do we do not want to leave.”

“This was our first trip to Bali and it will not be our last. This place is magnificent. The villa is exquisite – a wonder in itself. The staff have been superb – the people are so friendly, open and full of smiles. We do not want to go back home. Thank you for all the hard effort you have put into building this villa so that people from other places can enjoy Bali.”

“From the sands of Saudi to the beaches of Bali. The 13 hour trip was well worth it! None of us here want to leave Bali or the villa, but with our bags packed now and the morning breeze across our face we must say our farewell to a beautiful home and only pray that the next villa is as welcome and superbly located. Waking up to the rice fields each morning has been a blessing, you could not have picked a more suitable location. All your hard work, determination and patience for this villa has really shined and allowed many of us to have the best holiday imaginable. The villa, staff and the view. Magical. With much gratitude for your home and much sadness for leaving. I say “salam” or “peace” in Arabic.

“What an amazing week, the villa is magic, a mixture of ancient culture with modern facilities. A perfect place for all (couples, families, young and old). Being here for a week…it’s like food for the soul. I’m totally renewed and ready to take on the world. The staff have been world – class. Above all their attitude and friendly disposition. Always there when you need them, yet discreet at the same time. So thanks again… can’t wait to come back!!! PS: I took so many photos my camera broke!”

“We love Villa Raja and have had a great time. It was lovely to finish of our trip in a quiet, traditional style accommodation and be away from the business of Tuban and Kuta. The kids love the pool and cinema room. The staff are very helpful, friendly and cook up good meals. Thanks for everything. Hope to see you all again soon.”

“We arrived on a December evening, greeted with warm smiles and a beautiful sunset over the rice fields. We immediately felt at home and the kindness and helpfulness of Made, Wayan and Iluh throughout our two weeks have nurtured that that comfort. Meals were prepared wonderfully – I will especially miss the chicken curry and banana pancakes! Villa Raja is truly a hidden gem and I was thoroughly impressed by the detailed service, natural surroundings and exquisite time-honoured Balinese décor. Thank you for the lovely memories!”

“We had such a fabulous time at your gorgeous, peaceful and amazing villa! We will never be able to rent another villa that doesn’t have a waterslide and a beautiful lawn for the children to play in. The staff, Wayan, Made and Iluh were lovely and very capable. The food was delicious and very local! Kiki was also very helpful. Thank you for sharing this very special place with our families. We hope to return soon!”

Our two families have had a wonderful holiday. After a week in Seminyak we first thought 12 days at Villa RaJa would be too long but as we pack our bags to leave we can safely say the time has flown by and we’d happily stay longer. The staff have been excellent and our kids have enjoyed all the attention. The slide was also a hit with them all. It has been a pleasure exploring the villa and after 12 days we are still noticing new things. The workmanship is beautiful.

This was outstanding! The service, food, housekeeping etc was the best in Bali. The island is beautiful, beaches superb. I can’t wait to come back in a few years.

We were looking for a villa that would be a destination in itself and we certainly found that with Villa RaJa. Truly exquisite. A work of art filled with art.

The island of Bali was amazing. So much to do and see. Our strongest memories will be of the gentle, ordinary people including all the staff at the villa. Our thanks again to Ngurah for inviting us to his wedding ceremony. It was a special day and a highlight of the trip. And to Kiki for her constant care and attention, our thanks. Vivi was so helpful making the rental arrangements and Nyoman a great referral for a driver. Thanks again Wayan, Made, Iluh, Ketut, Made, Made and Ngurah. It was a dream come true. You will be in our thoughts.

“We’ve been to Bali several times but have always stayed in hotels. This was the first time we rented a villa. Luckily we chose Villa RaJa. We had lower expectations as we knew from previous experiences that what is shown on websites rarely tells the whole story. However, Villa RaJa is truly an exception. The description was not enough to describe the wonderful and unique experience we had during our 3 days. The staff went all out to fulfil our requests. The food was fantastic. The kids loved the pool and cinema. Thank you Villa RaJa for a great holiday!” Paul and Varsha, April 29, 2008

“We have visited Bali many times and Villa RaJa is a delight. Ibu, Wayan and Made make it fun, especially as they chase Anabelle, always on the run. Our stay was wonderful. So relaxing and delightful. The slide is so cool with lots of good memories of the pool. The rice paddies give a special aura, even when the TV is blasting Dora! Thank you all at Villa RaJa for a wonderful stay!” John Mueller, USA. April 14, 2008

“Villa RaJa what can we say aside from WOW. Ralph and Janet you have created a Balinese utopia with all of the comforts any human being would desire!! RaJa is testament to your years of experience in creating beautiful homes and mixing traditional Balinese style…with a dash of hippy thrown in for good measure!! We are so grateful for inviting us into your paradise. Having Wayan, Iluh and Made “on tap” has been a real treat. I wish they could come home with us!!! Can’t wait to come back soon, Jo and Bec, Australia, March 1, 2008

“A stunningly designed villa. We really appreciated the attention to detail and beautiful finishes. Wonderfully helpful and friendly staff, always a ready smile. It was so interesting to see the two week progression of rice planting and attending to fields. We look forward to coming again.” Ian and Karen, Dubai 11 January 2008

Villa RaJa

Selamat Siang! We arrived back home this morning but we’re still flying high on the whole thing. I have to tell you that Villa RaJa is the best place we have ever stayed in Bali (by far) and we’ve been to quite a few. We felt very spoilt, surrounded by all that comfort and luxury. What a fantasy! It’s really quite extraordinary. These are a few of our favourite things: the gallery of paintings in the beautifully lit bedroom; the exquisitely eclectic tiles in the shower (almost a North African feeling up there); the velvet green lawn and the elegantly sculpted girls topping up the lap pool from their ever-flowing ewers. The movie room (it’s all a bit of a movie, really). The patina of the timber and the amazing design detail. Not to mention our feather-soft bed or Wayan’s superb Nasi Goreng. As much as all that taste, we loved the serene spirit of the place. The simple prettiness of the banners flying over the rice paddies and the kites hovering on the horizon – in the midst of all that quiet space it’s so easy to relax. We enjoyed our excursions too, thank you! Echo Beach, the Tugu Hotel, the Canggu Country Club – nice new discoveries and all a bit of a revelation. But Villa
RaJa! You must have done some very good things in past lives to create that kind of karma.

"Needed 2 days just to explore and enjoy (and photograph) all the little surprises and different angles. An absolute joy to stay in. We especially enjoyed the tranquillity, space, ambience, birds and the rest. The pool was frequently used - deep and clear and warm enough to stay in even for North Queenslanders (!) Wayan cooked up a storm and Iluh and Made had constant smiles while they cleaned and washed and pampered us. And Vivi gave superb dining and sightseeing advice. A fantastic experience - we'll be back."
