There's aren't enough superlatives to describe this hidden paradise. To be nestled harmoniously with nature, soothed by the sounds of the local fauna & flora was an immersive experience. The staff were attentive to our needs without being over-bearing. Our room maximised it location and showcased the natural surrounds with an abundance of natural light. I had undisturbed sleep in the comfy bed and woke to breathtaking views of the river from my window...couldn't imagine a better way to start the day!

Villa The Sanctuary Bali is the most unique property I have ever stayed at. The setting is stunning: A huge garden of more than 2 hectare with spectacular views from every angle. When you are arrive you are greeted by the most lovely staff who make you feel instantly at home which continues throughout your trip. They even remember all your names. At the end of the stay we felt we had a new big Balinese family. We stayed in the master bedroom which has its own private pool. This was amazing as we had our own privacy away from our friends. There are so many incredible features in the villa and the fabulous long pool with Jacuzzi is one of them! We loved the entertainment options, snooker table and living room with lots to watch. The location is perfect, so close to the best restaurants and and the beach clubs in Canggu but the truth is we didn’t want to leave the villa! It’s absolute heaven and the food is delicious. Thanks to all the staff for making our trip the best possible!…

We had a destination wedding at Villa the Sanctuary in March 2019. Our wedding coordinator Ellen made the whole planning process a breeze and was able to completely customise the event to suit our taste and needs. The staff at the villa where nothing but professional and extremely welcoming. I highly recommend the Villa the sanctuary for any wedding or celebration, as well as a great holiday. 5 stars!

Where can I start! We just had our wedding at Villa the Sanctuary a week ago and everything was just perfect! We loved every minute of our stay at the villa and all our guests had an amazing timing during the celebration, all thanks to the villa and its fantastic staffs. We looked at many places during our venue scout for the wedding. There are tons of options in Canggu (& greater area) as well as other location such as Jimbaran and Uluwatu that offer popular beach side or cliff side views. However, we find Villa the Sanctuary most unique amongst all – the villa is tucked away in a beautiful jungle(!) with a river running across; it brings the magical and mysterious Ubud to the trendy Canggu! It is a perfect venue for wedding celebration. While most villas would just have one open space for events, Sanctuary has several levels of gardens and different areas so we can have separate space for each of our welcome drink, cocktail and reception, which also helps to keep some surprises for the guests. The villa also has a pool/bar pavilion and a media room next to the garden areas, which we find super useful for guests to take a break from the heat / or as a nursery room. We were told by a number of wedding planners we consulted that Sanctuary is one of their favorite venue. It is so beautiful and versatile that we didn’t need to go out for our couple portraits at all, our photographer had a long list of spots inside the villa to take pictures for us! Living in the villa itself was a dream, it was like having a private jungle to ourselves. It felt so close to nature staying in the villa, every morning we got woken by soft sunlight and crows of roosters that can be spotted at doorstep; and the soothing sound of the running river would send us to dreamland. The rooms are all very clean, spacious and beautifully done, each of the rooms has its own design and/or unique view. We also loved the large living room area that’s beautifully decorated with these large red lanterns. Both of our families spend a lot of time there gathering for meals and hangout, it felt very cozy and truly helped us bring the families together. The infinity pool facing the entire jungle and river was out of world, and definitely insta worthy. We have families coming from Europe, Canada and UK staying at the villa, and all of them raved about how beautiful the villa is and said that they want to retire in a place like this. We initially hesitated on Sanctuary as we find 5 nights minimum stay was a bit long, but we regret not booking for longer stay now! Our great experience can’t be complete without the truly amazing staffs of the Sanctuary Vila. There are 20+ staffs on site helping out guests all day around, no request was too much or too little (as a small example, I asked for a water kettle for the villa, and the staff arrived within 2 minutes with the kettle and a tea set and made us a tea). If you are hosting an event there, you can also be assured that these staffs are very professional and highly experienced with events. Upon arrival, Salam sat down with us to go through all the arrangements we needed or could have wanted. Salam was extremely thoughtful and reminded us of all the little details that we would have ignored during the busy days. We had a small misunderstanding with the staff initially, but everyone was friendly and helpful and sorted it out. These little things and preparations volunteered by the staffs go a long way to make your stay seamless, especially if you are having a wedding and expect a hectic time. Also have to mention that the kitchen at the Sanctuary is very solid as well. We opted to have our breakfast at the villa every day and asked for a few meals in villa for our family. They offer pretty good variety and are very flexible in terms of what we want. We also have Sanctuary to provide food for our casual pool-side BBQ brunch for the day after, and did not expect to be blown away by the food. All our guests who came to the BBQ loved it, there are so much variety and extremely tasty. Overall very pleased. Our guests for the wedding were all charmed by the villa and called it magical. We are so happy that we chose Sanctuary as our wedding venue and are already discussing about celebrating our anniversary here again ! Thank you again to Putu, Salam and all the rest of amazing staffs for giving us such a memorable time! Olivia and Shub…

We had 18 adults and 9 children. This property accommodated everyone very comfortably. If you are looking for undistracted time with family and friends, this is the place. The view of the surroundings is spectacular. However, without question, Villa The Sanctuary Bali’s greatest attribute is the staff. They are very attentive without being intrusive. Can't think of a single request made that wasn't fulfilled. And lots of things were provided we didn't expect. Free coffee and tea all day by the pool, a basket of snacks for the kids, lounge chairs moved everywhere we wanted. Breakfast and lunches prepared in advance for trips off property if you want. Send your laundry and it comes back the next afternoon washed and folded. Our five year old granddaughter asked for strawberries and Gede, one of the butlers, jumped on his motorbike and came back with a plate full. The list goes on :-) A bit of a drive from the airport ( 45 minutes ) and somewhat remote but if you take the villa car it only takes a few minutes to the buzzing area around Echo Beach where you find all sorts of shops, bars and restaurants. Amazing vibe around here and you can find something for everyone. On two different days we rented a minivan and the staff took us to Seminyak and Ubud to do a little sightseeing and shopping. Spa services should not be missed. There is an area on the superb lawns that is ideal for massages. Secluded and covered with a traditional Joglo. The sound of the river and the breeze are heaven. The ladies who provide the services are truly gifted. If peaceful, relaxing and being catered to is what you want, this is the perfect place. Sincere thanks to Putu, Salam, Gede and the whole team for making our trip so memorable.…

Villa The Sanctuary Bali is more beautiful than the pictures show. We had a group of 24 adults and 12 kids who all fit very comfortably. Putu, Salam and the staff were responsive to any needs we had and made our parents wedding anniversary amazing. The staff was really friendly and helpful, it was like a dream come true. This villa has gorgeous views and an awesome layout for large groups. Our chef Gede, was amazing and every meal was so delicious. Our main bartender Dika was also the best: so happy and made us feel so welcome. We almost did not leave the villa for 5 full days. We have already been talking about when we can all go back. I can't say thanks enough for the awesome memories.

We stayed five nights at this wonderful villa in Canggu. We had the best time and now regret having to leave. Everything was fabulous and the service outstanding. The staff, Putu, Salam and all the other boys (I can’t remember all their names) were very helpful and joyful. We loved playing football with the staff in the large gardens and we loved running around the pool with our close family and friends. Part of the group went fishing and came back with more than 10 fish! Handara Golf in Bedugul was quite a bit of drive but beautiful and highly recommended if you love golf. Our mountainbike trip with Infinity Mountainbiking from Jatiluwih to the Villa (Unesco Heritage and recommended by the villa staff ) was the highlight of our trip. The food was delicious. Especially the mixed seafood barbecue around the pool was a night we will never forget. The staff even arranged Balinese Dancers around the pool for us to watch. The location of this villa is fantastic as you are tucked away in nature along a river but still close ( a 5 minutes car ride ) to the hustle and bustle around Echo beach and Jalan Batu Bolong with all its shops, restaurants, beach clubs etc … We hope to return to Villa The Sanctuary Bali next year!…

For many years we planned to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary with a group of our married friends. We knew it would be difficult to find a place that met everyone's needs, because we all travel extensively and had very high expectations considering the time and expense that went into planning this trip. We flew in couples from all over Australia, Europe and the USA. We were 10 couples, totalling 20 people. Everyone said it was the best vacation they've ever had. The views of the jungle are breathtaking. The staff was attentive and catered to our every need. The villa manager, Putu did a great job of coordinating our requests. Frank, the villa owner communicated with us via email before we arrived to make sure everything was perfect. Once we arrived, the villa head butler, Salam was awesome! He did everything from making our drinks to serving all our meals and a whole lot more. He arranged for massage therapists to come to the villa and accompanied us to the beach to translate and make sure we were comfortable. The cook was phenomenal! The food was delicious and beautiful. We had a few 'non' meat eaters in the group and the chef made sure we had 'non' meat options at every meal. The rest of the staff did a great job cleaning our rooms and making us all feel welcome. The gardeners kept the surroundings immaculate. Amazing stay and hopefully one day we will be back! Keep up the good work!…

I stayed in this villa in March, 2019 and was very impressed with the scenery and location. I`m familiar with some of the finest properties in the Canggu area, and can say this one tops everything else. The staff is very friendly, the services were excellent and the nearby area around Jalan Batu Bolong is within easy reach. Some honest advice: the pictures do not do this villa justice: you have to see it to believe it, when you stay in Villa The Sanctuary Bali, it feels like you stay in a private village for yourself. The grounds are 22.000 m2 and the views are breathtaking! I have never seen anything like it. Do not hesitate to book this property when you look to come to Bali with a larger group. Thank you Putu, Salam and all the staff of Villa The Sanctuary Bali for an amazing holiday…

We stayed at the Villa Sanctuary on the 25th October till the 30th October. My brother hired out all the villa estate to have his wedding ceremony there. When our family arrived at the Villa Sanctuary we were in awe just at how beautiful the place is. All surrounded by the lush greenery trees & forest of Canggu,the place is huge. I think it has about 10-12 villas that accomodated all the immediate family of bride and groom and in the center there was a huge swimming pool that had the backdrop of the river, truly spectacular but what made our stay there most memorable were the staff. Salam and the staff were so accomdating in every way. They worked around the clock to make sure all our needs were attended too. From getting car hire, breakfast, lunch and dinner cooked,take away to housekeeping, everything was attended too. We were so lucky to have such amazing staff to help with our needs.There was not much negative thing about our experience except maybe house keeping could of attended more with the towels, water bottles and one of the lights went off in the toilet that wasn't fix but that was minor only things that could improve. I would highly recommend this place, the wedding ceremony was amazing , one of the best weddings I have experience. Salam and staff did an amazing job and I can go on and on about the experience and place & staff but it will take up too many space. Thank you Villa the Sanctuary.…
