Vila Lumbung (Petitenget, Indonesia)

The Hotel Vila Lumbung is a small exotic village surrounded by masterly designed tropical gardens of approximately 12.000 square meters. The special shape of the grass-roof villas is derived from the typical Balinese 'Lumbung'. The upper part of this center hut of each family compound serves as a rice barn, while the lower floor - an elevated lounging area ('Bale') - is used as a meeting place. We transformed this concept into a unique design of our guest rooms. While the dome shaped grass rooftop of the upper floors conveys a spacious and tropical feeling, the ground floor's Bale is made into a cozy retreat next to the garden. The lobby, restaurant and shopping area are designed to follow the 'Lumbung'-concept.
