What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Here contemporary design and contemporary art provide a contrast with the views of the surrounding rice fields; its five suites are all similar in their broad strokes but distinct in their details.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Quiet rice paddies border the property, and Canggu's surf breaks and beach clubs are a ten-minute drive away.

The rooms
Each bedroom has bamboo wallpaper and local art, and rainfall showers upstairs look straight out across the surrounding rice paddies.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor infinity pool stretches along the rear terrace, lined with fringed umbrellas and cushioned loungers.
The treatment room
Massages in the dedicated treatment room use natural products, and sessions can also be arranged in your suite.
At the table
Breakfast is served beside open glass doors in the kitchen, and evening meals move outside under courtyard fairy lights.
How it began
Argentine architect Sylvia Fairman originally designed the property as a family home, which became a guesthouse after the owners' daughter left for university.
