Umah Nyepi Part 2: Endless Land for a Jungle Stroll

Last October Heather Holt Photography Bali posted one of the past shoots of a Umah Nyepi, a stunning villa set back in the jungle of Ubud.

Umah Nyepi Part 1: A Peaceful Villa in the Jungle of Ubud

She has since gone back to do a few updated photos of the grounds. The property owner added some lovely totem wood carving statues that greet you upon entering the serene villa, and also he converted the plot of land next to the villa from jungle, to a large lawn with a cobblestone walkway circumventing the open space. With a fountain in the center, you are surrounded by bamboo, lush greenery, rice fields and mountains in the distance. This multi-use open space can be used to just get away and take a quiet walk, or it can be rented for weddings or parties. 

Heather Holt Photography Bali does properties for marketing, advertising and sales, or just because you have a killer pad!

Yoga in Bali: The Human Body, The Scenery and The Serenity

In recent years Bali has evolved into a thriving center for yoga. From seasoned yogies and beautiful yoga studios with killer views, to the fresh faced yoga instructors that have just completed their teacher training course, there is a perfect place for every yogi who visits and lives in Bali.

My good friend Andy became a Yoga instructor recently and what a great time to celebrate that killer toned body and her newly perfected postures with a photoshoot with Heather Holt Photography Bali! We had a beautiful backdrop in the Canggu rice fields, a stunning evening with a gorgeous sunset.

Some of my personal favorite places to practice in the Canggu area are:

Samadi
Serenity
Desi Seni
The Practice

Many of these places offer a variety of daily yoga classes, teacher trainings, accommodation, and some even have healthy cafes attached, perfect for a post practice snack or juice.

Heather Holt Photography Bali loves doing yoga shoots and with the diverse backgrouds here in Bali we can get some awesome photos. Please do inquire if you are interested and here are a few other links to shoots I have done in the past:

Bliss Yoga
Yoga Photos Around the Rock
A Blissful Sunset with the Yogis
Prenatal Bliss Yoginis

Check out my full portfolio on my website here.

With a place as scenic as Bali, it is hard to not take advantage of the natural beauty and agriculture here. The rice paddies of Bali are some of the most beautiful on earth sprawling all over the island. They have even been listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Thanks for a great shoot! And thank you Canggu Bali for being so beautiful.

Beautiful Indonesia: Kids Surfing the Amed Shores

These local Amed kids use what they have to enjoy their natural environment, they are using plywood planks to surf the small waves breaking on the shore. Ah the simple things in life.

Beautiful Indonesia: Sunset & Fishing Boats, Amed

Amed is a sleepy black sand beach town in Northeast Bali. The draw for tourists is mainly diving, but if you fancy a super quiet chilled out getaway this is your spot and it is not to be underestimated. The beach, town and surrounding area is bustling with locals enjoying the perks of their beach town, a short drive outside of town provides a stunning vista of the ocean and mountains, the ever present view of the volcano that watches over the little village is ever changing with the movement of the sun and stars, and of course the warm clear waters that contain some of the most interesting underwater life I have ever seen, but more to come on that later!

Umah Nyepi Part 1: A Peaceful Villa in the Jungle of Ubud

Earlier this year Heather Holt Photography Bali photographed this amazing 5 bedroom villa set in the jungled hills of the Ubud area in Bali. Check out the website here: Umah Nyepi.

Heather is available for not only villa photography but also weddings and portraits. Here is a walk through of this beautiful property.

This is a perfect venue for a small wedding or party with a spacious back yard to accommodate.

The Master bedroom, bathroom and a small study are the only rooms on the second floor of the villa making them very private.

And what a gorgeous master bathroom! I LOVE the dark wood and old Bali flare.

This bridge connects the house with the land across the river which the owner and guests can use for casual strolling, enjoying nature and some peach and quiet.

And of course every good villa here in Bali needs a pool so you can cool off from the Bali heat.
