The pool
Private villa pools suspended above the Petanu River valley, surrounded by terraced rice paddies and jungle.
The Viceroy sits high on the Valley of the Kings above Ubud, a steep ravine cut by the Petanu River and lined with the most photogenic rice terraces on Bali. Each villa has its own pool, set on a private terrace and angled for the long view across the gorge to the volcano beyond.
Mornings here are mist and gamelan from the village across the valley; evenings, the frogs take over and the pool deck lights become the only thing visible in the dark green. Swim, then ask for a Balinese massage on the deck.
