Arma Museum & Resort

Arma Museum & Resort in Ubud is an absolute gem. From the moment you step onto the property, you’re surrounded by lush, beautifully maintained gardens that make you feel like you’ve entered a peaceful sanctuary. The rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated, and filled with Balinese charm—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. But what truly sets this place apart is the service. The staff are warm, attentive, and go out of their way to make your stay special. Whether you’re wandering through the art museum, lounging by the pool, or just soaking in the tranquil atmosphere, Arma is the perfect retreat in Ubud. Highly recommend!

We are really pleased with our stay. We love the place and the ambiance of the resort. The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. Our 2 day stay in Ubud was really memorable. We even had an opportunity to chat with the owner, Agung Rai, a very amazing man. He was able to capture what Bali is all about. The manager, Dito is so accommodating and welcoming ❤️ The resort is not for everyone because of the set up of the rooms (no elevator and lots of steps to go to the rooms) but for us it was perfect. So thankful that we are still strong and able to explore the beauty of the resort. Thank you from the bottom of our heart ❤️ We hope that Arma Museum Resort will bring joy to whoever visit.

We stayed 11 nights in Superior Villa 101 and were enchanted by its lush gardens and serene atmosphere. The natural beauty surrounding the property was captivating, with vibrant wildlife including squirrels, frogs, monitor lizards, snakes, geckos, and a variety of birds and butterflies. The private pool was a standout feature.||The staff were absolutely wonderful – warm, helpful, and attentive. The on-site art museum was excellent, and meeting some of the artists added a personal touch. If you’re keen on traditional Balinese culture, this resort blends art, culture, and hospitality beautifully.||Breakfast was enjoyable, with a good mix of Asian and Western options. The location is also very convenient. There’s a shop across the road, as well as a doctor and chemist within a short walking distance. One entrance to the property opens directly onto the main street lined with fantastic restaurants, such as Seeds, Merlins and Soul Bites (one of our favourites).||The villa interior, however, needs some refurbishment. The furniture cushions and curtains were old and stained, and a persistent musty smell meant we had to buy air freshener for the room. Sharing your space with insects, frogs, and even large geckos might not suit everyone, and sleeping under a mosquito net is part of the experience. Personally, I loved the sounds of the chirping geckos at night!||Despite these issues, the stunning gardens, incredible staff, and cultural charm made for a relaxing stay. Arma Resort is a great choice for nature and culture lovers seeking a rustic retreat in a prime location.

We stayed 11 nights in the Superior Villa 101, set further back on the property away from the busy streets and next to a rice paddy. We loved the natural beauty and gardens, as well as the vibrant wildlife – squirrels, frogs, geckos, monitor lizards, and all variety of birds and butterflies. The private pool was a definite highlight.||The staff were wonderful – warm, helpful, and attentive. The on-site art museum was great, and meeting some of the artists was inspiring. If you’re keen on experiencing traditional Balinese culture, this is a great place to stay, as the resort integrates art, culture, and Balinese hospitality beautifully.||Breakfast was good, offering a mix of Asian and Western options. ||The only downside was the interior of the villa which could do with some refurbishment. The furniture cushions and curtains were noticeably old and stained (we used towels to cover them before sitting on them) and there was a persistent musty smell in the room likely from the patched thatched roof. If you’re someone who doesn’t enjoy sharing your living space with insects, frogs or geckos, or if sleeping under a dusty mosquito net isn’t your idea of a relaxing night, this may not be the place for you.||Despite this, the charm of the gardens and the incredible staff made our stay relaxing. For nature and culture lovers seeking a rustic retreat, Arma Resort has a lot to offer.

A fantastic resort that nestles nature with art. Stay at a villa because it is so worth it. The staff are so lovely and helpful. With our stay, we had complimentary access to the museum and an afternoon tea. Their performances in the evening are also inspiring and recommended!

One of a kind experience in this resort with such privacy and service and unique stunning location.Our pool villa had a huge pool and spaciuos villa. also on site great thai restaurent. Loved seen so much off nature here.The provide free afternoon tea/coffee at the onsite musium inthe afternoon and many other benefits for guests such as free entry to museum.

A wonderful oasis in the mad bustling streets of Ubud. Arma museum is an authentic Balinese cultural centre, created years ago by Agung Rai to keep Balinese art, culture and dance alive. You can see traditional dance performances there, and artists at work. To have the museum as an integral part of the resort is amazing. The only downside to this jewel of Ubud are all the steps. The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated in Balinese style. Comfortable bed and spacious bathroom and balcony. The traditional styled restaurant is intimate and welcoming with great service and food. I’d highly recommend this resort if you’re visiting Ubud and want to see the traditional side of Bali. The staff are so friendly and helpful.

I am yoga teacher from Bulgaria and was at the hotel with a group. We spend amazing time in the resort. The staff is very polite, the rooms are clean and beautiful. I truly recommend this amazing place for relax and holiday.
