About Us

Our Team

We are proud of the partnership we have developed. Agus and Fera are part of an amazing family in the local area. They are both very active in their community and are intentional about investing back in the community. Natalie and Jesse run our design and marketing division. They are the backpackers that met Agus by chance while traveling through Bali. They love the area, they love Agus and Fera’s family, and they love learning about the culture. We hope that everyone visiting can develop the same passion for travel that they have.

Our Story

We are a Balinese luxury villa located in Selat, located just outside Sidemen, Bali. Our story is an unlikely one that started when two American backpackers traveling through Bali met a local family. It started as a simple 10 day stop on the way home, but turned into a lifelong adventure. We just finished our first luxury bamboo building, The Manta, in 2025 and we have several more planned. In our first year, we are proud to have hosted over 135 stays, earning 80+ verified reviews for our unique bamboo architecture and genuine Balinese hospitality. Please join our various social media accounts below to follow our story, and we hope to see you visiting soon!

Our Goals

Our goal is to benefit the surrounding community in Bali. We are proud to be fully Balinese owned and partnered with foreigners. Because of this, many of the benefits of the business have a direct positive impact on the surrounding community. Punduk Villa is very engaged with the community culture, and we hope to continue to invest in the local people.
