Villa Sekar Padi

The team

Five people, one promise: you're looked after

All of us are from Tibubeneng and the neighbouring banjar, this is home turf.

Komang Alit Wirawan, owner and host

Komang "Alit" Wirawan

Owner & host

Born in Berawa, Alit built the villa on his family's rice-field land and opened it in 2019. He still walks the garden every morning before guests wake up.

Ask them: Ask him: beach or waterfall? He knows every shortcut between Berawa and Batu Bolong, and which warung is worth the detour.

Sarah Wirawan, co-owner and guest experience

Sarah moved from Melbourne to Bali in 2014 and answers every WhatsApp message personally, within an hour, 8:00 to 22:00 WITA.

Ask them: Ask Sarah where to get a proper flat white in Canggu, the Melbourne standards never left her.

Putu Eka Yanti, villa manager

Putu Eka Yanti

Villa manager

Putu spent 12 years in Seminyak five-star hotels before joining the villa. She runs housekeeping, check-ins and the small details you only notice when they're missing.

Ask them: Ask Putu how she folds towels, twelve years of five-star training shows in about four seconds.

Chef Wayan Sudira, private chef

Wayan Sudira

Private chef

Chef Wayan shops Pasar Canggu every morning and cooks his mother's Balinese recipes, plus wood-fired pizza when the kids outvote the grown-ups.

Ask them: Ask Wayan what was good at the market this morning, the answer usually becomes tonight's dinner.

Gede Arta, driver and guide

Gede Arta

Driver & guide

Gede drives the villa's air-conditioned 7-seater, airport pickups with a name sign, day trips to Ubud, Uluwatu and everywhere between.

Ask them: Ask Gede what time to leave for Tanah Lot at sunset, he times it so you arrive just before the crowds do.

A day at Sekar Padi

  1. 6:00

    Chef Wayan is at Pasar Canggu picking tonight's fish and tomorrow's fruit.

  2. 8:00

    Floating breakfast lands in the pool. Putu has already reset the garden.

  3. 15:00

    Gede rolls back from Ubud, guests asleep in the back, sarongs still on.

  4. 18:00

    Pool-deck sunset. Sarah drops by to plan tomorrow, or to bring cake.

We hire from our own village first. When you stay here, your money stays in Tibubeneng too.
