Getting ten people to agree on a holiday is hard enough. Getting them all into one place, comfortably, is harder. Hotels scatter a group across floors and corridors, and splitting between two smaller villas means half the party is always somewhere else. A large group villa in Bali keeps everyone together: one gate, one pool, one long table at dinner.
This guide walks through how to plan a stay for ten in a single villa, from who sleeps where to how meals and days out actually work, using Villa Agung at The Pala Ubud as the example.
Why One Villa Beats Several Rooms
The best group trips have a home base. When everyone shares a living room, a kitchen and a pool, the holiday happens naturally in between plans: an unplanned swim, a late coffee, a card game that runs past midnight. A villa for 10 people in Bali also removes the small frictions of hotel travel, like waiting for lifts, coordinating meeting points and booking restaurant tables for a crowd.

Who Sleeps Where
In a 5 bedroom villa in Ubud, room planning is the first conversation your group will have, so it helps to know the layout. At Villa Agung, most of the bedrooms are on the ground floor, set apart from the main living areas so sleep and socialising don’t collide. Here you’ll find the master suite, the double bedrooms and a twin room that can interconnect with an adjoining double. That pairing is ideal for parents with young children, who can sleep next door with the door open. A further bedroom sits on the upper floor, close to the living spaces.
A simple way to allocate rooms for ten:
- Couples take the super king bedrooms, each with its own bathroom.
- Families with young children take the twin room and its interconnecting double.
- A single traveller or teenager takes the super single room.
If your group includes older guests, ask the team which rooms suit them best, and settle the plan before you arrive so nobody negotiates beds at check-in.
The Shared Spaces
The upper floor is where the group comes together. The main living and dining lounge opens onto the infinity pool, with a separate, shallower pool for children alongside. Beyond it, a forest-facing lawn gives everyone room to spread out. It’s large enough to host up to 200 guests, so a group of ten never feels crowded, and it doubles as a venue if your trip includes a celebration.
The fully equipped professional kitchen, complete with a wok burner, can handle a proper group meal. A dedicated service entrance means chefs, caterers or event teams can come and go without passing through your living areas.
Meals for Ten, Made Easy
Feeding a big group is usually the most tiring part of a villa holiday. Here, it’s largely taken care of.
Breakfast is included every day for all confirmed guests. For lunch and dinner, Hura Restaurant sits at the heart of the estate and is open daily from 7am to 10pm. It serves home-style comfort food built on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, with both Balinese and international dishes, so picky eaters and adventurous ones are equally happy.
For groups, Hura can prepare customised menus and cater to dietary requirements with prior arrangement. In-house guests can also book private dining and special setups with advance notice. Prefer to stay in? Private chef service is available at Villa Agung, bringing a long, relaxed dinner straight to your own table.
A Sample Day for Your Group
Morning: Early risers head out with a driver to Tirta Empul or Gunung Kawi, both close by and quietest before the tour buses arrive. Everyone else lingers over breakfast, or joins a Balinese cooking class or offering-making session on the estate.
Midday: The group regroups at the villa. Children take over their own pool while adults claim the infinity edge and the forest view.
Afternoon: A few book in-villa massages, others take a car into Ubud for the market and galleries, about 15 minutes away. Teenagers will likely just stay by the pool with the Starlink Wi-Fi.
Evening: Dinner for ten, either a private chef at the villa or a long table at Hura, followed by drinks on the lawn as the valley goes quiet.
Practical Planning Tips
- Book early. Villas for large groups are limited, especially in peak season.
- Share dietary needs in advance so menus can be planned before you arrive.
- Arrange transport ahead. The resort is about 1.5 hours from the airport, and private transfers plus drivers at preferential rates can be organised for your whole group.
- Ask about extra beds if your group is larger than ten. They can be arranged on request for an additional charge.
