bud, the home of Balinese art and craft, lies in the central highland of Bali, approximately 45 minutes drive from Ngurah Rai Airport.

Just west of Ubud town, after crossing the sacred river of Campuhan, there is an artist colony village of Penestanan, known as the home of the 'Young Artist', which has a distinctive painting style influenced by the western painter, Arie Smith.

Nestled in a secluded spot of the village, surrounded by lush tropical gardens and rice terraces, Melati, meaning jasmine, offers their guests serenity with a Balinese village life atmosphere.
