Villa Leha-Leha takes its name from the
Javanese word for peace, day-dreaming, relaxing, or being
empty-minded while lying prostrate and gazing at the sky!
It’s an appropriate title for this enchanting four
bedroom retreat, complete with swimming pool and
plunge pools, nestled on the edge of a steep sided valley through which
Bali’s sacred Ayung River wends
it way on the final stage of its journey to the sea.
Quiet and safe, Villa Leha-Leha is ideally
situated in a rural setting five minutes from Sindhu
Beach and the historical village of Sanur.
- The nearby Sanur-Kusumba
by-pass, which extends from Seminyak
to East Bali, positions the villa within easy driving distance of most
of Bali’s tourist attractions.
- The diversity of Bali presents everything from diving,
cruising and trekking, to adventure sports and theme parks.
- Horse riding takes place just a few kilometres away at Saba
stables, and three of the best golf courses in the world are located
within easy driving distance.
- The villa is just twenty-five minutes’ drive from
Bali’s international airport.
- It is found in forty minutes from the cultural town of Ubud,
fifteen minutes from Sukawati
art and handicraft market, and is conveniently close to the Island’s
numerous spas, shops, restaurants and vibrant nightspots.

Garden and Swimming Pool
The beautiful landscaped gardens of Villa
Leha-Leha are planted with sweet scented flowering
shrubs and tropical trees.
The freeform, infinity-edge swimming pool overhangs the river
valley and is flanked by a stone pool deck.
At one end of the pool are some sunken stone bar stools
flanking a pool bar with an attractive ironwood shingle roof.
Living Pavilion
The large two-storey living pavilion
incorporates two living areas on two different levels.
The downstairs open-sided living room is encompassed by fish
ponds and a timber deck.
This breezy raised pavilion presides over the pool and garden
and its marble floor is gracefully furnished with an Oriental rug, lazy
chairs, sofa, standard lamp and a coffee table.
A 42-inch, flat screen, multi-channel TV, DVD, CD
player and radio stereo system is discretely housed within a wooden
cabinet, and there is also a comprehensive collection of videos, books
and games.
The decor is enhanced by some colourful local artwork and
artifacts; a ceiling fan helps to keep the area cool and blinds can be
dropped for privacy.
A guest washroom is located downstairs,
just off the living room.
The upstairs lounge is accessed from the
dining room, via a sliding door that leads onto a Palimanan stone
staircase. This peaceful lounge is another wonderful, breezy open-air
space.
It features a teakwood floor under a soaring thatched roof,
and is furnished with wide opium daybeds, a pair of leather Kartini
chairs and an Oriental rug. Boasting a splendid view of the garden and
the river valley extending to the ocean, this is a great area for
chilling out and relaxing with a book.
Every need is considered with the additional
provision of a ceiling fan.
Work Room
An all-glass Cathedral window extends from the roof to the
ground floor, and separates the upstairs lounge from the
air-conditioned work room.
This delightful study presents a teak desk with a computer and
internet access for the use of the guests.
An eye-catching painting adorns one wall, and a long Oriental
rug rests on the warm timber floor, together with leather-upholstered
Kartini chairs and a bookcase full of magazines.
To one side of the work room is an open-air stone
terrace surrounded by a balustrade.
Dining Room
The air-conditioned dining room is linked
to the downstairs Living Room by two sets of Palimanan stone steps.
With a marble floor, and large glass sliding doors on three
sides, the room has an open feeling; it is furnished with a dining
table for eight, and fitted with a glass-fronted teak cabinet.
Kitchen
The small but well-equipped air-conditioned kitchen
is conveniently positioned next to the dining room.
It features
- a marble service counter
- marble work tops
- teakwood wall cabinets
On the far side of the kitchen is an attractive water court,
with large stepping stones across the fish pond.
Carved water-spouting griffins create a serene ambience with
the constant sound of running water.
Bedrooms
Villa Leha-Leha is equipped with four
self-contained bedroom suites, each located in
private thatched pavilions and each one linked to its own indoor
bathroom and private outdoor shower.
Two of the bedrooms boast private plunge pools, and
two are supplied with music systems.
- Each marble-floored, air-conditioned bedroom is furnished
with a queen-size four poster canopied bed, a chair, bedside tables and
lamps, while bold local artwork adorns the walls.
- Dressing areas, with fitted cupboards and walls mirrors,
lead into marble bathrooms each complete with twin washbasins, a
bathtub, an indoor shower and a toilet hidden behind a teak door.
- Each bathtub is positioned beside a picture window with
doors opening into a small private walled garden. These doors can be
opened to create an alfresco bathing experience, and there is also an
open-air shower in each of the private gardens.
A fifth bedroom
(without en-suite bathroom), furnished with up to four extra single
beds, is ideal for children.
