According to local folklore, Villa Samuan was given its name by a Balinese Princess. A friend of the owners she was inspired by one of Bali's oldest temples, the sacred "Pura Samuan Tiga" situated in Bedulu, not far from Ubud.

Translating as the "Temple of the Meeting of the Three", the temple is dedicated to the Hindu Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva and is the picture of a beautiful getaway with two rivers flanking it and lush vegetation adorning it. 

 Similarly Villa Samuan is a meeting point between three; East and West, locals and visitors, guests and staff.  With its blend of traditional eastern and western decor, lush tropical gardens and soothing atmosphere Villa Samuan embodies the very essence of Bali's calm, relaxed tranquility.
