Villa Awang Awang is situated in the traditional village of
Melayang overlooking the verdant Petanu river valley five
kilometres east of Ubud. The 10-minute drive from Ubud will
transport you through a stunning landscape of rice terraces and
jungle with Bali’s sacred volcano, Gunung Agung, towering in the
distance. The villa is just over one hour’s drive from the
international airport.  Ubud is Bali’s cultural hub, a
conglomeration of villages positioned at the confluence of two
rivers. The area has been a haven for local and foreign artists
since the 1930s, and is now the island’s centre for fine arts
and cultural performances, attracting art collectors,
connoisseurs, writers, mystics, and people who are actively
involved in anthropology, music, dance, architecture,
environmentalism and alternative healing. Ubud is home to a
treasure trove of art museums and galleries, featuring
traditional and modern work including paintings, ceramics,
carvings, sculpture, batik, weaving and photography. In the
