Free Form Pool
One of the main highlight of the villa is definitely our gorgeous free form pool overlooking the mountain wilderness. Beside the pool there is also a thatched roof bale Balinese day bed, perfect for outdoor relaxation.
We were told every villa and the pool is uniquely design according to the landscape and slope hence not one villa is similar.

Petulu Restaurant
Dinner: Nasi Campur Indonesia with Prawns, Sate and Beef Rendang
Dessert: Fried Banana drizzled with honey and strawberries
For dinner, we managed to try Kamandaly Ubud’s Petulu Restaurant, ornamented with multi-tiered ceiling of polished binkray wood and provides a splendid rice terrace view from the balcony.
The Nasi Campur Indonesia comes with succulent fresh prawns, chicken sate and fork tender beef rendang that is cooked with low heat over few hours to allow flavours to be fully absorbed to the beef and tenderizing the meat. It was delicious, the slight downside was the meal was bit too dry, a bowl of soup or curry would definitely make wonders to this dish. For dessert we had banana fritters to end our meal.

Breakfast at villa
As a villa guests at Kamandalu Ubud, we are able to enjoy breakfast in the villa by notifying our butler one day before so they can prepare and send it to our villa.
Having breakfast in the villa seems luxurious and we were happy to try it out, all food were well prepared for us, and all we just need is to enjoy it without any interruption in our villa garden.
