Villa Taman Ahimsa

Eco Villa Taman Ahimsa

Villa Taman Ahimsa is not just an eco- conscious villa, but also one of the most amazing villas in Bali. Taman Ahimsa meaning “where one can discover spaces created for retreat” and the villa definitely lives up to its name. If the rural setting with amazing ocean and sunset views isn’t enough to leave hectic everyday life behind, the peaceful garden, the massage bale and the meditation circle will surely do the job.

Villa Taman Ahimsa is based on the Balinese philosophy, Tri Hita Karana, which focuses on creating harmony among Human, God and Nature. The constructions are made of natural materials that blend in with the surroundings and the pool employs a low-to-no chemical ozone system that is soft on the earth and gentle on the skin.

In the kitchen the villas two cooks use organic vegetables and fruits and ayurvedic ingredients when preparing meals that often include fresh fish caught by local fishermen.
