Villa Bodhi
Rice-paddy villa near Ubud, an active wedding venue
Photos: Villa Bodhi
Villa Bodhi sits above the rice terraces of Desa Bukian, a village in Payangan roughly twenty minutes from central Ubud. Five bedrooms are arranged around a garden compound, and the villa’s real draw for a wedding is its pool: a lagoon-style infinity edge that appears to run straight into the paddies below, with the living and dining pavilion open on all sides to catch the same view.
The setting works because it asks so little of a planner. Ceremonies can face the pool and the terraces beyond it, cocktails spread across the deck, and a marquee on the garden lawn takes the reception up to around 150 seated guests. Villa Bodhi has hosted real weddings, not only styled shoots, which tells us the layout and the staff hold up on an actual event day.
Rates for Villa Bodhi are published in a wide range, from roughly USD 400 to 1,000 a night (about Rp 6.7 million to Rp 16.8 million) depending on the season and which agency you book through. A few online listings show much lower per-room numbers, but those do not cover the full-villa buyout a wedding needs. We confirm the current, exclusive-use rate with the venue directly once you have dates in mind.

Ceremony & reception spaces
Why we love it
The lagoon pool view
The infinity pool is built lagoon-style, its edge dissolving into the rice terraces below. It reads as the natural centrepiece for photos and for a ceremony backdrop, without any styling needed to make it work.
A real wedding venue, not just a listing
Villa Bodhi has hosted actual weddings, not just brochure shoots. Photographers and past couples have documented real ceremonies here, which gives us a working sense of how the space handles a full event day.
Payangan quiet, Ubud close
Twenty minutes from central Ubud puts you well outside the town's traffic and crowds, in a village setting of rice fields and quiet roads, while still keeping vendors, hotels, and the Ubud scene within easy reach.

Common questions
Where exactly is Villa Bodhi?+
It sits in Banjar Tiyingan, Desa Bukian, in Payangan, about twenty minutes' drive from central Ubud. The setting is rice paddies and village roads rather than the busier center of town.
How many guests can Villa Bodhi host for a wedding?+
The villa itself sleeps 10 to 12 guests overnight, but as an event venue it can host up to 100 standing or around 150 seated for a reception across the pool terrace and garden.
Why do the published prices for Villa Bodhi vary so much?+
Different agencies market the villa differently. Villa rental specialists quote the full-villa buyout, which runs roughly USD 400 to 1,000 a night depending on season. Some OTA listings show lower per-room figures that do not include exclusive use of the property, which is what a wedding requires. We confirm the current full-villa rate with the venue directly.
Is Villa Bodhi currently available for weddings?+
Yes. It is actively marketed for weddings and events and has hosted real ceremonies. We check live availability and current terms with the villa once you have a date in mind.
