Villa Cepaka

“...destination that only seems to exist in your dreams. From the moment you step into the immaculate villa, it’s as if all your worries and needs have been taken off your shoulders and there is nothing left but pure relaxation and enjoyment. There are many villa options available these days, but as a seasoned traveller and someone who has experienced many lovely villa locations before, Villa Sungai truly stands out above the rest. It is not just the stunning surroundings, it is the service, and the small details that show that all your needs truly have been considered before you arrive. This trip saw us arrive with two small toddlers in tow, we could not have been more impressed with how well they were looked after, which in turn made our holiday all the more enjoyable and a true ‘holiday’. From specialised baby meals to providing nappies, the laundry service, cots and lots of toys, as well as the caring staff on hand to entertain them when our hands were full, the villa became our little sanctuary and we were quite happy spending the full day there with our little ones. The exceptional food at the villa also made it hard to leave. The menu choice is plentiful, with some beautiful modern Indonesian/Asian dishes and rivals any other high end restaurant we have enjoyed. Made and the team made every effort to care for us in a way that was warm, friendly and endeared us to the unique atmosphere that so many holiday accommodations attempt to create, but rarely do. There is a true passion in everything that is done at Villa Sungai by all the staff, who are clearly more like a family, and they made us feel part of it too during our stay. We can’t wait to return again one day soon. ”

“...that I send you an email....I have finally gotten a chance to settle back in the states and have just finished organizing the photos, notes, and memories of our vacation. It is hard for me to put into words what we experienced during our amazing trip to Bali. The places, the people, the food everything blew away all our expectations. And I am forgetting one item the accommodations.... Villa Sungai was by far the best "hotel" experience we have ever had...from the wonderful rooms, spa treatment facilities, pool and not to mention the food! The attention to the guests and the details that the staff go through is just phenomenal. We so miss all the people who waiting on our every need, not to mention how great Made is! Not only his knowledge but his care and skills, his chauffeuring us around all over the island but not just dropping us off, staying with us leading us and giving that personal detail that just shows how great guest stats are at villa sungai. As my mom told me on the flight back home when I asked her how our trip was she said "what is there not to like" everything was first class and we were treated like royalty the whole time!To Made: thank you for the kind gift upon our departure we look at it every day and puts a smile on our face as we remember our great time we all had with you...How we miss it already Looking forward to coming back as soon as we can! ”

“...note to say a huge thank you from myself and Joe for hosting us. Villa Sungai is the most magical place we have ever visited. The staff made everything seamless and whilst we were aware we had less than 24 hours with you nothing felt rushed at all - which we really value highly, working in London where we always need to do lots in a short space of time!Listening to the music by the two gentlemen whilst we enjoyed our canapés was very special and the food that followed was exceptional. It was nice to have a menu created - we love surprises and everything was perfect to our tastes. Now Joe will forever compare my salmon curry to yours! :)The massage in the morning was a lovely way to wake up too - thank you for suggesting we move this to this morning. After a long journey it has truly restored me.May I ask what the yellow flower is called? I have kept a couple in my book to press as a momento of our stay.Please extend our thanks to all your wonderful staff - for welcoming us and caring for us so very well. Not only will I recommend to our family, friends, readers but also Daisy who I know would love the space.”

“...Villa Sungai. It's just what I needed after living in a busy city in New Zealand. The food here is yummy and the staff here are so kind and caring. I love how there is a spa here and they also do your washing. Everyone here is full of smiles and so friendly making our stay so comfortable. Thank you for having us. Will be back again.”

“...you know how much we loved staying at Villa Sungai and Sungai Gold. We had a wonderful time and spent a lot of time pinching ourselves... we couldn't believe we were there. It was really amazing. Thank you for letting us spread and use the whole place. We used that last day to truly relax and enjoy the villas. We couldn't believe that we had arrived at such a culturally significant time and we soaked it up. We really felt that we experienced Bali in all the best ways from Sungai. Driving, cycling and walking gave us a great chance to see different sides to Bali and to get off the tourist track.The villa was incredible and the staff were amazing. We enjoyed the food and drinks, in particular we fell in love with the ginger Margaritas. Your staff made us feel relaxed and helped with everything that we needed. We really felt pampered and loved the massages and facials... I could go on and on and so could all the girls. Will definitely leave you a review soon.We all really hope to return in the near future.Regards, Ridia ”

“...can imagine exist. True heaven on earth. My husband and I, we've traveled all over the world and stayed in some amazing places but Villa Sungai was one of the best and unforgettable places. Not only that the beauty and design of it are incredible but the impeccable service from the amazing staff wowed us every day. The food was delicious and we didn't have to leave the villa because we enjoyed being there so much. We had everything we need it. If you come to Bali, this is a must place to stay. I can't recommend it enough. We loved it. ”

“...but heartfelt THANKYOU for our amazing visit to Villa Sungai. We absolutely loved it - so much so that the kids are constantly talking about and even today my daughter announced out of the blue how much she missed “our hotel in Bali”. Special thanks to made for looking after us so kindly. And for all the special touches at the villa that really elevate the villa to something magical. The decor, music, flowers, cocktails, food, massage room - all absolutely stunning. We really hope to be able to visit again one day in the future.Many thanks againDeborah Lacy-Smith”

“...some time to relax. The staff have been fantastic.And I just wanted to say I love your style!”

“...time at the villa. I also wanted to say that Rini stood out with her exceptional service. She was very professional and pleasant in nature.Hoping to come back and stay sooner rather than later.Kind Regards, Patricia ”

“...time, as good, or better than the last.I LOVE what you have done with Gold as it enhances the villa so much. The staff as usual were impeccable in every way and we loved seeing more of Made with not him to share him with another villa. The thought you put into every tiny detail is so evident, especially when you move to another property. Mary and I found ourselves quite flat on our first night in Ubud as we were used to perfection. Anyway, many thanks again and I’ll definitely write a review upon my return.Many thanks again.Regards, Sue ”

“...having Alissa and myself for a beautiful 2-night stay at Villa Sungai. Yours was one of the first properties I visited back in 2016 and while I appreciated the excellent experience, I did not yet have the context to appreciate what a truly special and rejuvenating experience you offer your guests. Everything is so thoughtful and filled with intention, from the design to the menu, your staff. The food! It was delicious before, but this time around I was stunned at how rich, yet light, all the dishes were that we tried. Since that first trip back in 2016 I have quite literally spent 15 out of 24 months visiting and working with luxury properties and I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to return with a new understanding of how exemplary your property is on a global luxury scale. Thank you again Pamela, I'm very grateful.Thank you once again Pamela. With gratitude,- mindy ”

“...and Bali was magical. We loved the villa that you have created. It was a perfect place to gather our family for a week. The staff was exceptional. Made, Wayan, Rini, Iluh, Putu, along with Kristina, Yoga, Nyoman, and all the others, all were wonderful-always with a smile on their faces, ready to please. It was such a pleasure knowing them. They will stay with us forever... I have over 120,000 people who have read my reviews on trip advisor so I can’t wait to review Villa Sungai Gold and Platinum and tell the world to visit!!! Thank you again for creating such a wonderful place. Best, barbara and jon lee and family ”
