A synopsis of our stay at Arma Museum and Resort in Ubud, Bali ||The grounds are gorgeous, and we spent a lot of time exploring the grounds (including the museum) and enjoying the beauty of the resort. There is always staff taking care of the flora and fauna; it’s well maintained. Please note there are a lot of stairs for anyone who may have mobility issues. ||The resort offers many amenities, including airport pickup/drop-off, onsite spa, coffee shop (free tea or coffee w/snack at tea time), as well cultural workshops (eg. learn how to play the gamelan, yoga classes, etc). ||The restaurant onsite is terrific. We had breakfast there every morning (except for the one morning we did a floating breakfast - extra fee). The variety and food was good, offering local/asian and western options. I never went hungry and honestly wanted to eat everything. The staff is wonderful, attentive and friendly. We had dinner there twice, and both times were great. ||The location is terrific. It’s right in the heart of Ubud. Sacred Monkey Forest, and other attractions are within walking distance. There’s plenty of food options (restaurants, bars, warungs, etc.), as well as grocery stores too. ||We booked a villa with a pool for our stay (rooms are also available). It was lovely. The room was spacious, with a seating area (think bay window with seat). The sink is separate from the toilet which along with the showers are outside. The toilet and shower is in an outdoor bathroom, with a second shower completely outside (total Instagram moment). There’s a mosquito net covering the bed, there’s also air conditioning in the bedroom as well. We found the bed comfy, pillows too, and the blanket was a good weight. Room was clean (housekeeping comes everyday), and also has a mini fridge along with a kettle (tea and coffee) plus extra toiletries (eg. dental kit, comb, etc.). There’s a gate to come into the outdoor space, which can be locked from the inside or outside (padlock w/key). There’s also a lock on the main door on the villa itself. ||The Arma museum is quite informative displaying Balinese art and artists, as well as providing some background info of Walter Spies who influenced modern Balinese art as well. Entrance/access to the museum is free for those staying at the resort. ||We would highly recommend Arma Museum and Resort in Ubud, Bali.
