Bali is recognized worldwide as a tropical paradise. It offers some of the most unimaginable summer experiences.
Well, in East Bali and near Ubud – another Indonesian hot summer retreat – hides a small village called Sidemen.
It still hasn’t gotten the deserved recognition as a tourist hotspot, but that will undoubtedly change.
This small village is located in an enchanting bamboo villa you may book on Airbnb. Keep reading to learn more!
1. Sauca Villa
The wonderfully designed bamboo villa is a dream come true for tourists who wish to experience the best of both worlds when taking a vacation.
The whole property is private and exclusive to the guest. It’s surrounded by a lush forest, shielding the villa completely.
Still, the town is a walking distance away if you should want a change of scenery.
2. Erasing the Walls
Because of the tropical climate, it’s possible to enjoy an entire vacation out in the open – with all the comforts of home included.
The villa is entirely made of bamboo, with an unusual shape that grants it a touch of uniqueness.
The first floor is completely open and the second is closed with glass from the sides.
At the front, there are bamboo shades meant to protect the guests’ privacy and keep insects out.
Sauca Villa was made to take absolute advantage of the breezy climate.
While the days are warm and the very definition of tropical, at night the temperature drops to about 22 degrees Celsius which is optimal for a good night’s sleep.
3. Between Opulence And Natural Living
In this regard, also, the villa allows its guests to combine two amazing experiences for their vacation.
The villa has a wonderful silhouette, an incredible view, and a pool, and the privacy is guaranteed.
On the other hand, it’s surrounded by forest, rice fields, and a lush garden.
4. What’s There To Do In Sidemen?
Aside from being quite near popular tourist destinations, Sidemen has a lot to offer itself.
When you decide to leave the private bubble that the bamboo villa grants you, there’s the option to go trekking in the rice fields or visit the Gembleng Waterfall.
Silvermaking workshops are a famous village attraction, so you shouldn’t pass up on that.
You should also go rafting!
It’s also possible to rent a motorcycle and go on an adventure! The superhost, Cito, notes he’d be happy to help you get the best deal.
5. The Accommodation
Though the property is quite large, the villa isn’t.
It’s meant for two guests at most, as it includes one bed and one bathroom.
The villa has a stable wifi connection, so it can be a dedicated workspace, as well.
6. Bedroom
As already mentioned, there is one bed. It’s Queen-sized, as the villa is most frequently visited by couples looking for a romantic getaway.
And by all means, the second floor which houses the bedroom is the epitome of romantic.
Breezy curtains surround the bed and petals are arranged across the bed linen to promote a nice atmosphere.
The floor isn’t a large space, but it is quite comfortable. There’s even some space for a small vanity behind the bed.
7. Living Quarters
The living quarters blend wonderfully into the rest of the natural design.
The kitchen itself is made of bamboo, and the small dining area is set upon colorful tiles which promote the exotic appeal of the space.
The kitchen contains a mini-fridge, a stove, and cooking basics, though it’s possible to get breakfast included in the stay.
8. Bathroom
The bathroom with a toilet is separated into a different small building on the property.
Though it’s concealed for privacy, the bathroom also sports the out-in-the-open vibe.
The natural theme continues, as modern materials are included only where absolutely necessary. The focus remains on bamboo, stone and wood.
9. Challenges
While Sauca Bamboo Villa is a wonderful tropical experience, we all know that tropical regions come with a lot of insects and bugs.
There are mosquito nets on the second floor, but an occasional bug, mosquito, or even a frog isn’t too unusual.
Besides, the villa is more or less completely open, so there’s nothing the host can do about this.
If you can, think of it as another part of the immersive experience.
Another possible issue can be the rainy season.
As the villa is open, the linen and the curtains may get wet, but cleaning is available during the stay, so it’s always possible to contact the host about it.
