The Arsana Estate is located in Nyambu, one of the prettiest villages in Bali, set amidst the rice fields of the Tabanan Regency and perched amongst a set of lush terraces overlooking a raw tropical jungle backdrop.
Only a mere thirty minutes drive from Bali's stylish centre, and fifteen minutes to Nirwana Golf course which overlooks Tanah Lot, Bali’s most dramatic and venerated sea temple. The Arsana Estate is awaiting you - your own hidden valley hideaway, a perfect escape from the stressful pace of everyday life.
Arsana means 'flow' in Sanskrit, a language close to the hearts of the Balinese Hindu locals. The meandering Sungi River runs through the foot of the property and reflects the feng shui that pervades throughout the estate. Choose your sanctuary to unwind; a bamboo shaded rock by the riverside.on top of "sunset hill" as the day leaks away.
The Estate is tiered on three levels: the villas with a stunning view of the entire valley and the mountains in the distance; the living areas set amongst the tree tops, and the pool and pool house overlooking the Sungi River.
Designed as the ultimate marriage of pure luxury and asian comfort, at the core of The Arsana Estate's promise is to ensure the highest quality of personal service tailored to your own particular requirements. Whether that be your butler organizing cocktails at sunset, your own personal yoga teacher or a celebration of a lifetime, your stay at The Arsana Estate will be etched into your memory long after your well deserved break is over!

Undeniably one of the largest villa pools on the island, an infinity pool rests at the foot of the Hub, fed into by a fifteen metre cascading water feature.
The 18 x 6 metre swimming pool features two infinity edges and boasts an ironwood deck that extends the length of the pool and almost appears to float upon the surface of the water. There is a separate pool designed for the kids..or kids at heart!
Both decks are furnished with sunbeds and umbrellas, and there is also an outdoor pool-shower.
The pool is lined with a stunning slate stone that sparkles with streaks of gold. Next to it is a white Palimananstone pool bar with a table and built-in cushioned daybeds for lounging and enjoying barbeques, tapas, drinks or expressos from the bar.
Two massage rooms are located beside the pool, and at the far end of the pool is a riverside bale, which is also a delightful spot for a massage.
The Garden & River
The fast-flowing river at the foot of the Estate is particularly beautiful. It is accessed by a winding path and steps, and its jungle environs are restful and cool. Stone benches are positioned in strategic places, so that guests can relax and enjoy the tranquillity. Trees include majestic breadfruit, jackfruit, giant bamboo, and towering palms, together with creepers and ferns. The vast terraced gardens cascade like a giant's staircase down to the valley; velvety lawns are planted with sweet-scented flowering shrubs. Guests will be lulled by the soothing flow of the river and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature, beautiful butterflies and birds including the Java Kingfisher, a tropical addition to the Estate. They can also witness the traditions of rural Bali , as one part of the garden presents a small terraced rice field and a vegetable garden.
