Villa Air Manis is a very special place to stay. For those looking for a place to retreat and forget about the day to day life, this is the right option to stay in Padang. The view from this hilltop villa is simply stunning. The pictures posted here do not do enough justice to the actual view. My room, the... More

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights in March 2013. Jup picked us up at the airport and also took us on a sightseeing tour the next day, up and down a few hills to get the everchanging views of a seemingly endless array of small islands popping up everywhere. The owner Jane was there at the same time... More

It was a great pleasure to meet you and share stories about Indonesia .... especially about building and managing a home in Bali compared to Sumatra. We have asked Bu Iis to tame her love of chilli to suit the majority of guests but she will be ready for your return with some blistering dishes... the way she cooks for... More

This place is simply magical. A gorgeous, glass-walled, nautilus-shaped, six-level architectural masterpiece, perched in a stunning mountaintop location with the most beautiful view you can imagine. Far below are the sleepy green outskirts of Padang city; many bays, islands, and beaches; steep hills jutting up everywhere; and the broad sweep of the Indian Ocean. At dusk, the soft chanting wafts... More

Breathtaking views. Beautiful Villa. Delicious meals prepared by Ibu (Resident Chef). Privacy and serenity on a hilltop. Warm hospitality (Manager-Jup)). Very patient and accomodating hosts (Rick and Jane). Highly recommended for family or visitors who want to be away from the concrete jungle. I wished we stayed more than the 3 nights we were there!

Thanks for the thumbs up for our team. VAM is very much a team effort and we could not make it happen without Bp Jup, his wife Mel and Bu Iis working hard to look after our guests. There is a lot to see in West Sumatra and we missed meeting you this time....Hope we are at home for your... More

I spent 2 weeks in the beautiful Villa Air Manis and I had the opportunity to live the jungle vibe of Sumatra with all the confort and privacy of a villa. I stayed in the bungalow where I woke up watching monkeys on the trees and I enjoyed the sundeck next to the swimming pool. The view is breaththaking. Suggestion:... More

An awesome spot to relax, swim, eat great food, and stare at the 180 degree view of the ocean. We stayed in the bungalow at the bottom of the garden, and it was perfect for a small group or family. It's not a 5 star hotel, but has more personal service and atmosphere. Our kids instantly loved the place, with... More

We missed you this time but hope to meet when you come to visit again. Since your visit we have made a few changes. The bathroom has better natural light and we have changed the bed arrangement to sleep one couple and three others so it works better for children now. More

We had a fantastic stay at Villa Air Manis. The views are fantastic, the people super friendly and the facilities very nice. We stayed over the Chinese new year and had the whole place to ourselves - fabulous. Padang is perhaps not a town to die for, but the Villa is very much by itself (on a hilltop about 20... More

We stayed for a few days over Chinese new year and had a great time. The Villa is very nicely designed and more importantly maintained. It's not a 5star resort but compensates with its private villas and location as well as super friendly staff. The garden is just great including the pool which was much appreciated during the hot hours... More

We stayed for 2 nights, and never wanted to leave the villa. Spectacular views of Padang, and the cook Ibu Is, made the best crabs, fish and fried rice after a day of going out to the outer islands.
