Savor Traditions, Behold Beauty, and Get to Know the Locals (Primates, That Is) in Amed, Bali for Eight Days & Seven Nights for Up to Four People in Two One-Bedroom Villas, Including Scuba Dive Lessons, a Balinese Massage, a Tour of the John Hardy Workshop and Showroom, a Visit to Ubud and the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary (Land Only)

Let the soothing rhythms of the ocean lull you to a place of relaxation as you bask in your own slice of Balinese heaven. Nestled on the eastern hillside of Bali, Jepun Bali Villas welcome you to a perfect Indonesian retreat, featuring spectacular views of the Indian Ocean and gorgeous surroundings. When you aren't indulging in a massage, or swimming with the fish in the azure waters, save some time to explore the exquisite jewelry at John Hardy's inspired workshop and showroom, and to interact with the monkeys in the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary.

Villa Jepun is maintained by your own Balinese staff of seven, and they will ensure that your stay is perfect. All the artifacts, hand-carved statues, and artwork around the villas have been handpicked to reflect the traditional Balinese style of living. The koi ponds, waterfalls, and gardens around the villas are also incredible and boast many species of tropical flowers and trees. There is an unpretentious luxury in uncommonly beautiful surroundings, and the unique private Bali Villa rental is your perfect opportunity. You'll also have your own personal driver on-call for the week, with free rides for local drop-offs and pick-ups at the nearby restaurants and beaches, and a private chef for a fee.

There is an abundance of activities to choose from during your stay, including some of the best diving and snorkeling in Bali. You’ll be picked up by boat at the backyard beach for your scuba adventure! The world-class diving destination of Tulamben is yours to explore! If you go to Bali for mind and body rejuvenation, you can’t go wrong with a traditional massage. The outdoor spa retreat overlooks the pool and ocean, making it the ideal place to nurture your soul and spirit in a pampering treatment. A special Balinese dinner is an essential aspect of any vacation in Bali.

Rich in natural beauty, creativity, tradition, and culture, Bali continues to be the universal source of inspiration for John Hardy's line of artisan-crafted jewelry. You're invited to explore the John Hardy Ubud Workshop and Showroom - an oasis 20 minutes from Bali’s creative hub - where every piece of jewelry is conceived, designed, and produced in the design center and workshop. The compound is built from low-impact materials such as bamboo, adobe, and thatch, and set among 400 lush acres that include rice paddies and farms. On your tour, you'll be able to see the master artisans working at their craft, experience John Hardy's lauded eight-step process using fine jewelry techniques descended from the jewelers of Bali’s ancient royal courts, explore the property’s organic farm and kitchen, as well as shop at the flagship Kapal Bambu Boutique.

You'll also visit the famous Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, a nature reserve in one of Ubud's villages that has become an important spiritual, economic, and educational conservation center. Based on the concept of Tri Hita Karana, this Balinese Hindu reserve strives to encourage harmony between humans and nature. Visit, and possibly interact with, the six hundred cheeky long-tailed macaques that live in the forest as you explore the temples within the sanctuary.
