Villa Overview

Villa Mako blends the luxury and grandeur of traditional Indonesian architecture with the picturesque surroundings of a small Canggu village set above a quiet river valley. This three-bedroom retreat is stately in design, yet warmly decorated with eclectic interiors. Set in the tiny village of Tiying Tutal, Villa Mako enjoys an elevated position with sweeping views over the pool, surrounding jungle canopy and rice terraces beyond. Comfort is the focus of Villa Makos plush interiors and furnishings, while the layout provides both private and social spaces for families or friends sharing. Amenities like the large child-friendly pool, media room and full-service staff ensure a relaxing and nurturing escape for guests.

Villa Mako rests in the traditional village of Tiyingtukul – a rural area defined by rice fields and a river, about four kilometers from the beach. There are a few other luxury rental villas in the village, but no restaurants or shops, apart from one or two small warungs (local eateries) selling basics such as coffee and noodles. At the bottom of the villa garden is a river and a holy spring, where offerings to the gods are made by the villagers. Eighty metres along the riverbank is the village temple. Guests at Villa Mako will be welcomed at temple festivals, and some may even be lucky enough to witness a barong dance or other Hindu ceremony.

Location

Tiying Tutul, the village or ‘banjar’ around Villa Mako, remains primarily agricultural. At the bottom of the garden is a rustic brick wall with a gateway opening onto the riverbank. Here, guests will find a simple and private riverside bale, perfect for meditation. This is also the site of a holy spring, where villagers make offerings to the gods. 80 metres further along the river is the village temple. Guests will be welcomed at temple festivals; some may even be lucky enough to witness a barong dance or other Hindu ceremony. The villa staff will be happy to help with ceremonial clothing and advice on etiquette.
