We were lucky enough to stay at Alami for 6 nights of our honeymoon. We couldn't imagine our time in Bali being any better. The pictures don't do this place justice. When you walk in, it takes your breath away. The kitchen and common areas are open air which allow you to take in the incredible view. The bedrooms and bathrooms are luxurious, spacious and impeccably clean. We arrived to freshly cut flowers everywhere.

The villa manager Putu helped plan an incredible week of both adventure and relaxation, from biking through rice terraces to a cooking class right at our villa. We cannot recommend him enough. We told him we wanted to eat like a local so he took us to a vibrant night market, showed us his favorite suckling pig restaurant, and introduced us to many new foods and flavors. We looked forward to his arrivals as it was like having a friend show us around his village.

We visited during the country's yearly Silent Day which "forced" us to do nothing but swim and lay by the beautiful pool that overlooks the lush river valley. The fridge was always stocked with Bintang, and the staff can supply whatever you desire--we had fresh turmeric juice waiting for us by request. The amazing staff made us feel at home, were available when we needed them, but also allowed us the privacy we desired.

The location is just far enough outside of Ubud to feel authentic Balinese culture but close enough to be in downtown Ubud for dinner in 10 minutes. The staff was able to arrange all transportation which made our stay even more stress-free.

We are already dreaming of our next trip!
