Completed in December 2006, Orchid Villa is a boutique homestay, built in traditional style architecture with all the modern trappings to make your holiday a truly easy and memorable experience.
When you are not relaxing around the swimming pool; take a leisurely stroll through the superb, tropical gardens, stopping to gaze at the Koi or sit and contemplate your life to the sound of birdsong, frogs and crickets.
We have created a totally casual and relaxed atmosphere at Orchid Villa, where you can unwind and rejuvenate, while immersing yourself in natures offerings: lush vegetation, frogs, butterflies, the resident brilliant blue Kingfisher, whispering bamboo, spectacular mountains bathed in the mornings golden light and the mist filled valley. Occasionally you will see monkeys in the jungle canopy and squirrels playing tag amongst the branches.
We are just 20 kilometres north of Ubud, the renowned cultural centre of Bali, where you may choose from a vast array of activities from fine dining, cultural dances and ceremonies, temple and royal palace visits, shopping, visiting Monkey Forest, Ubud Botanic Gardens and numerous galleries. In addition, some of the finest hotels and spas in the world can be found a short drive down the valley from Orchid Villa, along with more vigorous activities such as white water rafting, mountain biking, elephant rides, paddy walks and more.

Friendly and intimate
This was my second time at Heaven in Bali, the first time seven years ago. Not much has changed, except that it’s harder to book with them as now more people are going to Bali and discovering the magic that Rick and Lita have built. While there, another group had just departed, but returned the next day because they were so dissatisfied with their next location. They had the option of two nights down the street or one night at Heaven in Bali, and chose the latter. I think that says it all. The lush landscaping is sprinkled with koi ponds, streams and fountains. The mountain views are breathtaking no matter the time of day or weather (mostly hot during the day and cool at night, but there can be a little drizzle of rain).
The dining is amazing, where you can choose a more intimate setting if you’re craving solitude or a communal table to share your meal with other friendly guests. Rick and Lita, along with their twin daughters and sweet pup, Peaches, live on-site, which makes it all the more warm and welcoming. They’re great at interacting just enough to make you feel at home while also respecting your privacy. Their staff are wonderful and incredibly accommodating, and have been there since the beginning; that alone speaks to the authenticity of this place and their top-notch, genuine hospitality. I’ve already got my return trip booked...I’ll never let another seven years go by before visiting again!

New Year vacation
We’ve spent one week on a New Year Vacation in The Villa Bali in Heaven. There were 8 of us, 4 adults and 4 children, and all of us were admired by the beauty of this magical place. It was not our first time in Bali, and usually, we used to spent our vacation in the ocean, but this time we’ve choose another way of enjoying the beauty of the island. It is absolutely another Bali than you used to know. The views to the fields and hills were incredibly gorgeous, we’ve never seen such a beauty before. The silence and tranquility of the surrounding area was just amazing. the Villa were inexpressible beautiful. Thank you so much for such unforgettable impressions.

Hölle in Bali
Diese Unterkunft war bei weitem die schlechteste, die wir jemals in einem Urlaub hatten. Folgende schwerwiegende Probleme lagen im August 2017 vor:
- Feuchte und klamme Matratzen. Es war unmöglich darauf zu schlafen. Habe die ganze Nacht kein Auge zugemacht.
- Der Bungalow roch stark nach Schimmel. Dies ist eine Folge davon, dass keine Klimaanlagen in der "Villa" installiert ist. Das Personal bot uns eine andere Villa an, welche noch schlimmer betroffen war. Auch ein zweites Zimmer wurde uns gezeigt und auch hier gab es Schimmelgeruch und feuchte Matratzen. Fazit: Unser Zimmer war also kein Einzelfall.
- Es bestand ein starkes Reinigungsproblem. Die Villa war schwer dreckig und einfach nur eklig. Seht euch dazu ein paar unserer Fotos an. Diese zeigen aber längst nicht das ganze Ausmaß des Schmutzes.
- Der Weg zu den Villen und zu der Rezeption ist nur mit Natursteinen ausgelegt. Bei Regen sind diese Steine äußerst rutschig und hoch gefährlich. Meine Frau ist gleich auf den Steinen ausgerutscht und hat sich am Knie verletzt. Als ich zur Rezeption ging um Eis für das Knie zu holen, bin auch ich ebenfalls ausgerutscht obwohl ich feste Schuhe anhatte und sehr vorsichtig gegangen bin. Vorsicht: Mindestens bei Regen besteht hier Gefahr für eure Gesundheit. Und da sich die Unterkunft am Rande des Regenwaldes befindet, regnet es dort sehr häufig. Zur Info: Wir sind 36 und 38 Jahre alt, zwar keine Extremsportler aber körperlich einigermaßen fit.
Es fand ein Telefongespräch mit dem Management (Lita & Rick) statt. Man hat uns angehört, aber keine Stellungnahme zu den Punkten gemacht. Nach dem Auflegen hat uns das Personal 20% Rabatt auf die Übernachtung gegeben. Ein schlechter Witz.
Immerhin: Das Personal war stets freundlich und bemüht uns zu helfen. Leider sind die Umstände vor Ort eher ein Problem des Managements.
Wir können euch die Unterkunft auf keinen Fall empfehlen. Es sei denn, ihr wollt euch euren Urlaub versauen..

Beautiful place and beautiful people
Bali is very welcoming wherever you go, however Rick and Lita made my stay in their amazing place really special. I came to retreat and I could not be more satisfied with everything that was provided. Beautiful and luxury accommodation, breathtaking location with lower temperatures due to higher elevation, fantastic food and service and very friendly owners and staff. I also learned a lot during the retreat led by Rick/owner. It is a very quiet place and I highly recommend it to people who just need to switch off, forget about the stress and be taken care of. Your soul will thank you!

Beautiful and peaceful paradise
An amazing place. With an infinity pool overlooking a beautiful valley in the forests just outside Ubud. I felt a sense of calm and peace the moment I stepped in. The sound of water flowing through the koi ponds surrounding the property.The staff are charming and food is delicious. If you are looking for a place to relax and get it away from it all I highly recommend Heaven in Bali! I can't wait to go there again soon.

Amazing experience
My husband and our two children stayed with Rick, Lita, Mia and Maya (and Peaches) for 3 nights and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. We were drawn to the place by all of the amazing reviews and can confirm they are true. Lita and Rick go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. Lita is excellent at recommending and arranging everything you need. The place itself is captivating. Very peaceful. But the people make this place special. If you are looking to be close to shops, restaurants etc., stay in Ubud. If you are looking for a more laid back and local experience, stay here. Arranging transport through Lita is very reasonable and everything is very flexible so it is easy enough to get around even though you aren't in the middle of things. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Nicest homestay experience in Bali I had
Had a stay from 5th till 11th Dec 2016, it was really the best home stay experience I ever had. The host, scenery, climate, food and tranquillity were some of the characteristics of this place I enjoyed.
The hosts with their 2 children and a dog were really nice people, making sure needs were attended to, they are quite open about their lives, often having dinner together with us and chats during meals.
It is situated on a mountain overlooking a valley so the views were really scenic and temperature cooler than the warm south.
Food was a good mix of healthy vegetarian diet and normal diet, they make really good hot chocolate too.
The calmness of the place was something I woke up looking forward to every morning. The water features; streams and ponds etc in the compound and just outside each room, makes it very tranquil.
5 stars for me, good place with healthy food, nice people and an environment that calms the mind and uplifts the soul.
