It was built with “ Care & Love” based on “ Tri Hita Karana” which is a traditional Balinese philosophy. The literal meaning of the term is “ Three Causes of well- being/ prosperity” that include 1) harmony with God, among people and nature & environment.
KTS Balinese Villas is genuinely one of Canggu’s best- kept secret. Ideal location to visit many of Bali’s historical and world-famous attractions without the hustle, bustle and traffic congestion found in neighboring areas such as Tanah lot, Echo Beach, Old Man, Batu Bolong Beach and more.
THE STORY BEHIND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE VILLA
The owner and the conceptor of this villa, Mr. Nyoman Sudi, was a bartender. As a bartender, most of his life was surrounded by parties and many people. Based on his experiences, he now has chosen to buy his own land in a peaceful area located in Banjar Pegending, Dalung, Kuta Utara. It’s a quiet and peaceful location that he has owned since 2001, surrounded by rice fields and a beautiful panoramic view. On 2003, Mr. Sudi made his dream come true and built his own house that he mostly stayed in when he finished his contract got a vacation from working on board of cruise ships. On his vacation time, he needed something which can make his mind relaxed and peaceful, thus he chose that house with a peaceful surrounding with only the sounds of nature accompanying him.
One night, when Mr. Sudi was sitting in his backyard veranda, he heard the sound of a frog calling, which gave him inspiration "hopefully our voice will be able to calm your mind and give you, your family and everyone else a better way of life in the future". That was when Mr. Sudi thought about Katak and contemplated that in the future if he has money, he will build a villa or a company near his house and call it Katak. He also thought that because he will build a villa and restaurant, it will make the natural habitat of the frog become less and less, so he chose to present ornaments of Katak as a symbol of it in his villa.
