Villa Bodhi Bali opens a door to a captivating island culture.
We’re a refuge in Bali’s cool central highlands, ensconced in a peaceful neighborhood of family compounds, community temples, and well-tended rice fields. Nearby, the village Payangan marketplace is a busy hub from the wee hours: farmers unloading jackfruit and mangosteen, food carts firing up satay grills, and locals gathering to fill their shopping baskets for the day.
