Directions to Pondok Wahyu Ubud on facebook or google
Address: Jalan Raya Sayan, Banjar Kutuh Ubud 80571
Jalan Raya Sayan is a very small lane off Sayan Road
Opposite that small lane is a tall sign for “The Mansion”
Turn onto Jalan Raya and this leads to Pondok Wahyu
Proceed to parking lot, park, and walk down to the villa.
It is not recommended to take a car down Jalan road, as it
is too narrow. If by car, walk down and follow the lane as it
curves left and directly across from a high end antique Buddha
shop, make a right down the lane and follow it to the end.
Turn right and follow the rock path to the villa. If you come on
your own bike, plenty of parking in the lot. There are also
motorbike taxis near the villa to return to Ubud or to go out
for lunch. See you soon.
