Ubud, the home of Balinese art and craft, lies in the central highland of Bali, approximately 1 hour driving from Ngurah Rai Airport.

Just west of Ubud town, after crossing the sacred river of Campuhan, there is an artist colony village of Penestanan, known as the home of the "Young Artists", which has a distinctive painting style influenced by the western painter, Arie Smith.

Nestled in a secluded spot of the village, surrounded by lush tropical gardens and rice terraces, Melati, meaning Jasmine, offers their serenity with a Balinese village life atmosphere.

With the charm and warmth of Balinese hospitality, host I Nyoman Ruta, also known as the village leader, with his gracious family and staff, provide a personalized service to ensure all guests feel like home.
