Villa Iskandar
Riverside villa, Beraban and Tanah Lot, Tabanan
Photos: Ministry of Villas
Villa Iskandar sits on the banks of the Yeh Penet river near Beraban village, a few kilometres inland from Tanah Lot in west Bali. It is built into the riverbank over three levels, wrapped in giant bamboo and jungle, with a free-form pool and an open-sided living pavilion above the water. For couples who want something greener and quieter than the usual beach or rice-field backdrop, the river gorge gives the day its own character.
On its own the villa suits intimate weddings of 30 to 50 guests, with four en-suite bedrooms sleeping 8 to 10. It shares a purpose-built 400 square metre event lawn with the neighbouring Villa Atacaya, and the two together, marketed as Nyanyi Riverside Villas, form a nine-bedroom estate that hosts up to 100 guests. Tanah Lot Temple and the coast are both a short drive away.
We treat Villa Iskandar as a match for couples drawn to a riverside, close-to-nature celebration near Tanah Lot, either as an intimate villa wedding or, with Villa Atacaya, a larger one for up to 100. Nightly rates have historically sat in the hundreds of dollars with full staff, and event fees are quoted separately. We reconfirm all current figures with the villa for your dates.
Key details
Why we love it
A riverside setting, not a beach or a rice field
Villa Iskandar is built into the banks of the Yeh Penet river, wrapped in giant bamboo and jungle. It is a quieter, greener kind of Bali wedding backdrop than the usual beach or paddy view, over three levels down to the water.
Room to grow with a neighbour
The villa hosts events of 30 to 50 on its own, and shares a purpose-built 400 square metre event lawn with the neighbouring Villa Atacaya. Rent the two together as Nyanyi Riverside Villas and you can host up to 100 guests across a nine-bedroom estate.
Close to Tanah Lot
It sits near Beraban village, a few kilometres from Tanah Lot Temple and the old Nirwana golf course, with Echo Beach about 8 kilometres away, so the temple and the coast are both an easy drive.

Is it a beach or rice-field villa?+
