Re:Imagined Villas

Project general facts

Re:Imagined Villas is a boutique collection of private villas, conceived as an intimate retreat where contemporary tropical architecture meets local tradition. Dark pitched roofs, generous glazing and natural stone facades give each villa a refined yet grounded character, while the low-rise layout keeps the setting calm and green. The collection includes one-bedroom single-level villas as well as two- and three-bedroom villas arranged over two levels with a separate study, and every residence opens onto its own terrace and private pool overlooking rice fields or a palm grove.

Life within the community centres on a dedicated wellness complex with saunas, a hammam, an ice bath, private massage rooms and a tranquil space for yoga and meditation, crowned by a rooftop terrace with views towards Mount Agung. A reception desk operates around the clock, a café and a bonfire lounge create natural gathering points, and hotel-grade services include gourmet in-villa dining, golf cart transport for guests and luggage, and transfers across the island. A professional management company runs a rental programme with transparent reporting, making the villas suited to both personal stays and hands-off ownership.

Interiors are created by an experienced Bali design bureau and combine warm timber, textured plaster, woven pendant lighting and carved wooden details with soft neutral fabrics for a serene, earthy atmosphere. Open-plan living rooms flow into kitchens and dining areas beneath high timber ceilings, and bedrooms are framed by gridded glass walls that draw in the surrounding greenery. Villas are delivered fully furnished and equipped, so owners and guests can move in or start renting without further fit-out. Villas are held on a long-term leasehold with a priority extension option, on land zoned for licensed rental activity.

Location description and benefits

Penestanan is a hillside village on the western edge of Ubud, long known as an artists' enclave with painting studios, galleries and quiet lanes winding between rice terraces. The famous Penestanan stairs and the Campuhan Ridge walk lie close by, and the centre of Ubud with its royal palace, art markets and temples can be reached on foot.

Some of the most celebrated restaurants, cafés and wellness studios of Ubud are concentrated around Penestanan, alongside yoga shalas, organic markets and boutique shops. The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, the Tegallalang rice terraces and the waterfalls of Gianyar are an easy drive away, and the main roads of central Bali connect the area with Canggu, Seminyak and the international airport.

Ubud is one of the most visited destinations in Bali, drawing travellers year-round for its culture, nature and wellness scene, which supports consistent demand for short-term villa rentals. Limited supply of high-quality housing within walking distance of central Ubud keeps Penestanan a sought-after address, appealing to buyers who look for a lifestyle home with steady rental potential in the cultural capital of the island.
