The Bali Luxury Villa Collection's private little worlds of tranquillity and indulgence lie in the midst of the traditional village of Cepaka, 20 mins from Legian and Seminyak on the south west coast of Bali. The villages and villas are set, jewel-like, in a dramatic setting of the old volcanoes of Bali, with emerald terraces of rice, tropical forests and ancient temples all around. The landscape comes alive with rural ceremonies - weddings, births and even cremations - celebrated by this unique and kindly people within the traditional context set by their Hindu religion. Temples literally pulse with colour; the faint sound of music emanates from distant villages; and on the diminishing horizon rise towering old volcanoes, awesome in their magnitude. Enjoy any number of scenic nature walks around the villages, and those adjoining - pick any road or lane and just keep walking through unspoilt traditional villages and spectacular rice fields with mist-shrouded mountains in the background. In the immediate outskirts Balinese traditional culture goes on undisturbed. Expect not to be disturbed by the sound of traffic, but by the laughter of villagers in pinks, blues and oranges, picking through the emerald countryside. Cepaka lies safely beyond the urban sprawl which has overrun Kuta Beach and Seminyak - yet they are still close to Bali's fabled attractions, including its diverse and vibrant night-life.  Popular tourist destinations like Kintamani, Tanah Lot and Ubud are also easily reached by chauffeured cars. Villas Devatas, Sungai and Sungai Gold sit above a tributary of the famous Ayang River, on the south-western coast of Bali. North of Legian and Seminyak, they are just twenty minutes drive from the buzz of Bali, past verdant terraced rice fields and spectacular scenery. Just 15 minutes east from the Le Meridien Nirwana Golf and Spa Resort at Tanah Lot, 35 and 45  minutes to Ubud and all 35-40 minutes from the airport. They are 10 mins from the nearest beach. With every BLVC property, the guest experience only begins with the villa. We provide easy access to Bali's cultural activities, including visits to Ubud's temples, galleries and museums, mountain biking, white-water rafting, guided walks; and full-service treks can be arranged through the wildest regions of Bali's undiscovered hills. For whilst the properties are designed to give you the peace of mind lost within busy urban lives, they also mean to inspire you with a culture that is old, sensual and vital. distance from villas to Tanah Lot 15 minutes (excellent markets and historic temple; Greg Norman golf course; Le Meridien resort for cocktails and  sunsets) Kediri 10 mins (Local, non-tourist, town with excellent fabric/sarong shop) Legian 20 mins Ubud 35 mins Airport 35 - 40 mins Jimbaran 45 mins Kuta 30 mins Nusa Dua 60 mins
