Ubud Village Resort Authentic Balinese Retreat

Ubud Village Resort is located in a beautifully natural setting in Ubud. From the Owner to the Management Team to Gardeners, the staff is dedicated to the Balinese community or banjar. The names of each section of villas reflect how the Balinese blend facilities with warm hospitality to present an ideal resort that satisfies our valued guests.

Up to 65% of the space is natural with some of the original large trees and rare plants maintained while the resort was being constructed. The buildings are designed after Balinese traditional architecture with local natural materials like paras stone for walls, alang-alang grass for roof thatching, palimanan stone for flooring, and tanah taro water-based paint for wall-finishing. All materials are supplied by local vendors, including food and beverage ingredients.

A regular weekly program of Balinese dances performed by neighborhood children is held during dinner time.

Each villa is cocooned within a native garden compound complete with its own plunge pool and a thatched lounging pavilion. Styled for absolute comfort, every villa is a well-appointed sanctuary with modern amenities and an elegant décor that honours Bali’s rich artistic heritage.

6. Trip Preparation A little pre-planning can make your trip go a lot smoother. Before your trip, make a list of what you will need to take with you.

Make sure your personal documents (passports, visas, driver’s license) are in order and that you have enough prescription medications to last through the trip. We suggest that you make photocopies of passports, visas, personal ID and any other important travel documents and pack them separately from the originals.

Pack a list of medications including dosage and generic names. If you lose the originals while traveling, you'll have copies for easier reporting and replacement. You may consider bringing a small supply of over the counter medications for headaches and/or antidiarrhea pills (especially when traveling outside of the USA and Western Europe).

Due to security reasons, many attractions may have restrictions on the size of bags that can be taken inside and backpacks, carry on bags or large purses may not be permitted. It is recommended to bring a small shoulder bag or purse to use in these situations instead.
