Villa Garden
The owner of Villa Kubu has spent years studying the tropical vegetation on the island and the villa’s gardens reflect her love of Balinese botanicals. Each garden is as diverse as the villas themselves with some featuring lotus ponds, waterfalls and rock gardens complete with Balinese statuary. All of the gardens have a varied and beautiful assortment of tropical flowers and foliage. Pathways on the villa properties wind their way under canopies of palm trees and are flanked on either side by the trunks of palms and the coloured foliage from plants that will tolerate the shade. The urns, statues and ornaments add a decorative element to the spaces and there are bursts of colour throughout the property with bougainvillea and ginger flowers growing in abundance. Villa Kubu’s gardens are an amalgamation of a variety of elements that are unique to the island and conform to what is now simply referred to as Balinese style. The running water, the traditional Balinese pavilion called a bale, the statues and the lush foliage combined with the ambience of night lighting, all contribute to the success of these gardens and are a defining factor in Villa Kubu’s global popularity.
