ABOUT ME
I am Villa Jazmin. Walk down and through a tropical river path, up a few steps and arrive at your home away from home. Tucked back in thick palm groves I am the epitome of peace and quiet. Eat Pray Love might as well have been filmed on my grounds. I am a renovated traditional one bedroom,one bath Javanese Tea House, with a spacious open floor plan. At over a 100 years old, my simple yet antique atmosphere will not leave you unimpressed. Wander barefoot in the warm afternoons over narrow concrete paths abreast lush green rice fields to charming nearby cafes and enjoy the ravishing jungle views while sipping on refreshing lemongrass iced tea.

BALI, BABY! THE 9 MOST HEAVENLY AIRBNB VILLAS IN PARADISE
Close your eyes and think about Bali. What comes to your mind? Tropical paradise, temples, beautiful beaches and peaceful, calm surroundings – well at least if you’re not staying in Kuta I guess… It is what I think about when I think Bali. And one more thing: Awesome interior decoration and beautifully styled homes and boutique hotels. For the foreign visitor, Bali isn’t the cheapest place in South East Asia and a boutique hotel room can easily blow your budget. Ever thought about renting an Airbnb Bali accommodation?
If you are looking for affordable yet beautiful and out of the ordinary Bali homes you should definitely have a look on Airbnb! The platform has turned into one of my favorite booking sites in the last couple of months and you’ll never find comparable rooms on any other platform – both in terms of pricing as well as in terms of style and individuality…
SEEN UNSEEN: EMBRACING NATURAL HOME DESIGN
Cisneros' work devotes a reimagining of joglo-inspired designs when looking anew at home design in the tropics.
The work of Alejandra Cisneros marks a significant departure from the tropical ‘Bali style’ villa design popularised in the past two decades; and is a refreshing antidote to the anodyne villas invading Bali’s centuries-old rice terraces. In this book we catch up with this very original architectural designer in her adopted tropical island home.

UBUD, INDONESIA — To the architect Hanno Burtscher, true Bali home design has little to do with the sprawling villas, hardwood floors and remote-controlled sliding doors commonly associated with “Bali style.”
“It’s a totally different story when comparing traditional Bali style to Bali style published in so many books,” Mr. Burtscher said.
Mr. Burtscher is one of several designers on Bali working to preserve elements of authentic houses on the island. His latest project is a series of three 15-square-meter, or 151-square-foot, octagons, connected by bridges and surrounded by water in a rice field outside Ubud, a central town that is popular with expatriates.
The octagons are primarily built from bamboo, with floors and walls made of packed earth. The bedroom, kitchen and other features are arranged following spiritual guidelines associated with old Bali homes.
“There is a feeling of harmony with the land,” said the homeowner, Richard Tobias, a native of Canada who teaches yoga and goes by the name Sky. “I didn’t want it be an eyesore like the big cement and tile monsters.”
Traditional Bali homes typically are small, box-like bungalows with tiny windows, clustered within walled compounds…

Reporting from Ubud, Bali — On a steamy, drizzly morning, my friend Alejandra Cisneros leads us on a narrow dirt path through the flooded rice fields.
A few yards away, a dozen ducks march single file across a dirt berm, tails twitching, looking very businesslike. Local farmers hire the trained ducks to eat pests and clean the recently harvested fields, Cisneros explains, as we settle on the bamboo deck of Sari Organik, an organic restaurant.
