Old – World Charm 21st Century Amenities
As soon as you enter the stylish open-air lobby of The Ubud Village Resort & Spa, the true essence of Bali unfolds before your very eyes.
Tucked discreetly within a preserved oasis near the village of Nyuh Kuning in Ubud, The Ubud Village Resort & Spa is a mere five minutes from the centre of town, yet feels as if it has been carved from a Walter Spies painting. Within seconds of welcoming you to the Island of the Gods, you are greeted with the sweet smell of ceremonial incense, classic Balinese rindik music and those legendary smiles that have cemented Bali’s fate as one of the world’s most iconic holiday destinations.
Situated on six generous hectares overlooking surrounding rice paddies, the resort opened eight years ago with an authentic design that places a strong emphasis on the beauty of the land and the luxury of space. From the classically furnished reception area, sporting a romantic alang alang grass roof and traditional touches such as whimsical wooden statues hand-carved to represent bride and groom, you are led across a charming wooden bridge and over an expansive lotus pond. Thirty beautifully appointed pool villas dot the landscape in upmost discretion, barely noticeable amidst the lush greenery that takes centre stage.
Each morning at The Ubud Village Resort & Spa begins with breakfast on the second storey of their signature restaurant. Showcasing endless views across undulating rice terraces, the Angkul-Angkul restaurant is a sumptuous Balinese style open-air pavilion that features renowned International cuisine and beloved Indonesian dishes. To learn more about the island’s exquisite regional recipes, learn how to create your own gastronomic delights through one of the chef’s cooking classes. In the late afternoons and early evenings, Banjar Lobby Lounge is an idyllic spot to meet new friends and to enjoy the magical hues that sunset time brings to Bali’s majestic landscape.
The resort’s stunning infinity edge swimming pool is appointed with chic chaise longues and an inviting swim-up pool bar that beckons you to order a refreshing signature cocktail or ice-cold glass of white wine. This is the place to be on a hot afternoon when all you have planned on the itinerary is hours upon hours of pure relaxation. Strategically positioned gazebos have been placed throughout the manicured grounds to provide private havens of solace. Catch up on the latest New York Times bestseller or indulge in a well-deserved catnap.
To elevate your level of tranquillity to new heights, book a mini spa getaway in one of Kama Karana Spa’s double treatment suites looking out towards the rice paddies. Utilising high quality natural products, choose from a breath-taking selection of authentic Balinese treatments or detox and unwind in the Jacuzzi or sauna. For a special evening out, the spa’s beauty salon will help to pamper you in royal style.
Choose your one-bedroom private pool villa based on your view preference. Will it be a verdant tropical garden or picturesque rice field? If you’re a group of friends or a family travelling together, you may want to choose the Village Suite Villa 2, a generously sized two-bedroom villa with stunning views. Prepare light meals and snacks in your fully equipped kitchen or invite the culinary team to deliver a delightful meal to your poolside deck for a truly intimate dining experience. Luxurious linens, flat-screen televisions, marble floors, opulent en-suites and unique garden pavilions create an air of incomparable sophistication.
