![]() Get ready for Chedi! π We arrived at the gates of Chedi Club in our locally hired taxi π(uber is not allowed in Ubud and there are no marked taxis). The two security guards asked our driver a few questions and then inspected the underbody of the vehicle before opening the gates for us to drive onto the property. Needless to say we felt very safe! ![]() Our butler greeted us and opened our doors. He unloaded our belongings from the car, prior to escorting us through the immaculate grounds to the main villa where we checked in. ![]() Here we were greeted with hot towels and tea. π΅ We checked in and were then lead to our beautiful villa, by our own personal butler! ![]() The outside of the villa was spacious, with a privacy fence.
