About Martha & Clay Wiseman
As adventure travel experts we have been leading groups throughout Southeast Asia for over 18 years but our hearts always lead us back to Bali.
The completion of Alami Villa has fulfilled our lifelong dream of creating an ultimate island hideaway.
Martha & Clay Wiseman purchased this villa in 2009
Why Martha & Clay Wiseman chose Gianyar Regency
After years of searching for the perfect location, we finally found Tengkulak Kaja. Just minutes from the center of Ubud, yet nestled on the edge of a quiet village.
The Villa was completed at the end of 2012 and the entry gardens in January 2013.
The infinity pool was added in May 2014.
What makes this villa unique
It is rare to find such a quiet location so near to Ubud town. One look at the Petanu River canyon view and you will understand why this location is unmatched.

Heaven!
I just returned from my at Alami Villa with 5 of my closest friends. From the minute we arrived at the entrance of the Villa we all knew that we were in for a very special stay. All the staff at the Villa were there to great us with a fresh coconut drink and whisk away all of our luggage to our rooms so we could get settled and ready for our exquisitely prepared lunch to be served. I can't say enough about the food at Alami. I highly recommend that you let them take care of all your meals, you will not be disappointed. Putu, the onsite manager, was even kind enough to arrange a shopping day with him and the chef to the local market so we could shop for our lunch and then come back and learn to cook some of the local dishes with the chef. Putu and all of the staff at Alami are some of the most kind and caring people I have ever met. They are truly the heart and soul of the Villa and want to make sure that your time there is relaxed and enjoyed to the fullest. There are so many things to do and see in the Ubud area, which I recommend you do, just make sure to leave time for enjoying the Villa, be it lounging by the pool, or getting a massage outdoors listening to the sounds of the jungle, or in the Villa's own spa room. The last night at the Villa will be one that my friends and I will hold dear to our hearts for the rest of our lives. Putu arranged for a evening party where many people from the village came to dance and perform Balinese music for us. We all got dressed up in traditional Balinese clothing and had our makeup done. Putu was even able to have a local photographer capture the entire evening and provide us with a CD of all the pictures the next day before we left. I could go on and on. You MUST experience for yourself.
Beyond our wildest dreams!
Alami Villa is gorgeous! When we walked through the door, we started to cry because we were so struck by the beauty. The pictures are beautiful, but it is even more spectacular in person. The wonder that is the jungle of Bali is right there for you to experience. We stayed for five nights in June and had our spiritual ceremony (wedding) there. We both feel that it was one of the best days of our lives and at least 50% of that had to do with Alami Villa itself, Marty, Putu, the staff and all the folks that came out to help. What's even more amazing is some of our guests said it was also one of the best days of their lives. Every person and aspect of the day that was recommended to us by Marty and Putu was just exquisite: the food for the wedding, the decorations (including the flowers), the 12-piece gamelan band, the five dancers and even the vegan and gluten-free cake they were able to come up with. Marty was so generous with her time to help us prepare for an overseas wedding. She brings so much excitement and passion and knowledge to what she does. Putu is basically a combination of an angel and Buddha. He is so patient, so present and such a wonderful soul. The rest of the staff were also lovely. Breakfast was always wonderful and for other meals, if we didn't feel like going out, they would order from local warungs for us and the food was delicious and cheap! The location of the villa is in a nice spot to get into Ubud easily, explore Mas and also other areas going south. We can't wait to go back to celebrate our anniversary!
Beyond exceptional!
If you want to skip the full review and just get to the bottom line, here it is: Stay here, without question, and you will have zero regrets!
If you’re curious as to why we would give this villa the best possible review, here it is: As other reviewers have noted, the pictures (surprisingly) do not do this villa justice. Yes, the photos are amazing, but once you enter this villa, and are greeted by several staff members, and welcomed with fresh coconut juice, you will be at a loss for words. Honestly, Putu (the village manager) sets the peaceful and welcoming tone from the airport with his kind demeanor and warm heart.
When we entered the villa, I had asked what is customary for where our shoes and such should go. I’ll never forget his response, “This is your home, you may do whatever you like.” And yes, from that moment on, we truly were made to feel like this was our home. For the remaining 8 days, Putu, Kadek, Made, and Komang catered to our every need. We were pretty exhausted from nearly 40 hours of traveling, and the team took care of ordering delicious authentic cuisine for our first two nights. Nothing was too much for them… More Bintang? Done. A delicious cocktail? Kadek knows what he’s doing! Floaties for the pool? Check. A private chef for the evening? Just ask!
On top of that, forget about stressing over arranging tour guides, whether it be to a numerous temples, a guided bike tour, or seeing authentic art, wood-carving, basket-weaving studios, Putu isn’t just a wonderful village manager, he is your tour guide (whether by car or by bike), and your connection to all that is authentic and “off the beaten path”. Putu is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about Bali’s culture and history. I had researched guides for cycling, climbing Mt Batur, several temples, etc. only to find out that Putu will take care of everything! Whenever we toured a temple, Putu, again, was our guide with an immense amount of knowledge. From remote villages, to traditional ceremonies, to food and culture, if Putu recommends it, do it. You will have no regrets!
Not only is this quite possibly Ubud’s (perhaps Bali’s) most amazing villa, it includes the kindest staff that exceeds expectations at every opportunity. If I could give this villa 6 stars, I would. On our departure day, we felt as though we were saying good-bye to family. If we ever have the opportunity to return to Bali, we will most definitely stay at Alami Villa.
The Sanctuary
My family just left this sanctuary. This is what we named it after our stay in this amazing home. The natural beauty that surrounds this home is beyond words. It is a true sanctuary. Unlike most advertising the pictures of this home and the river that runs below are far more beautiful when you see it and experience it. All of the staff were amazingly kind, and helpful. They made some of the most wonderful food. Petu was an incredible resource and did everything possible to make our experience in Bali the best possible. It is a quick ride into the center of Ubud, and after a day in Ubud it was a real treat to return to such a quiet and peaceful home. I can't say enough good things about this home, the staff and the beautiful nature that surrounds it. Five star plus!
Family stay in Bali
My family and friends from Australia stayed here from March 29th through April 3. Six adults and 4 kids. The booking was flawless and quick responses from the owners were appciated. The staff there was also wonderful, but hard to find in the middle of the day to get pool towels and other things brought down to us. With this many staff I expected them to be around more. I only saw Putu the house manager in the morning and afternoons. Although he was wonderful when there. My reasoning for a lower star rating was a few things. They had really loaded the bedrooms with moth balls before we arrived. They were taken out the day before we got there but that smell lingered and was terrible. I mentioned it a few times to which they apologized and burned insense in our rooms, but that only masked it for a short time. I am very sensitive to that old grandma smell and it really burned the nose and eyes. Also the larger bed downstairs was extremely hard. Like sleeping on a board. Both AC units in upper bedroom need replaced. They work but not well enough. Other than this the place was very clean and the chefs food was better then anything we ate in town. We were not unhappy here. Just disappointed,
More than 5 stars
I had the absolute pleasure of hosting a group of ten at this slice of heaven! The pictures are great but experiencing this place was absolutely amazing. Thanks Marty for making booking easy and constantly staying in communication as necessary. and thanks Putu and the rest of the lovely staff for not only making us feel at home, but going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Others have raved about the banana pancakes at breakfast but it must be said again THEY ARE SOOO GOOD! Half of the people in my group either hated bananas or pancakes but LOVED the banana pancakes. On our long days of tours Putu was easily accessible and made sure we could order yummy food from a local resturant for take out. I could go on and on about how great this place is it exceeded my expectations by far and I certainly will be back again. I loved the village we stayed in and LOVED witnessing the Nypei celebration. Thanks for making our stay enjoyable!
