Samsara Ubud

During my recent visit, I was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional experience offered. The staff were absolutely perfect—friendly, attentive, and always willing to help, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The pools were wonderfully warm and inviting, providing a relaxing atmosphere where I could unwind and enjoy peaceful moments throughout the day. The food exceeded all expectations, with a wide range of dishes that were fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. Every meal felt like a carefully crafted delight. Combined, these elements created an outstanding experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for comfort, relaxation, and superb hospitality.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Samsara Ubud is the kind of place you go to when you genuinely need to slow down. The location is beautiful—right by a cliff, surrounded by jungle, so the views are incredibly calming and private. No crowds, no noise, just nature everywhere. It really feels like a proper wellness escape. The sunrise yoga was one of my favorite moments of the stay. Practicing with a full jungle view felt grounding and peaceful, very “back to nature.” Breakfast was great throughout the stay, especially the floating breakfast—à la carte selection, good flavors, and the team was very accommodating (even happily giving me extra papaya 😄). One of the highlights was the painting activity. It was fun, relaxing, and surprisingly therapeutic—something different and memorable. Lunch and dinner at Kelusa were consistently good. The gado-gado is a must-try, and the Betutu, Cakalang Woku, BBQ dinner, and desserts were all enjoyable. Dinner with the Balinese cultural performance was also a lovely touch. The spa experience was excellent. The wellness facilities are well maintained, and the massage—done with natural sounds in the background—was deeply relaxing. Afternoon tea by the villa pool was another calm, enjoyable moment before the evening. Overall, the service was warm and attentive, the food was solid, and the entire stay felt thoughtfully designed for rest and reset. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat away from Bali’s busy areas. Would definitely come back!!

Downtown Ubud and surrounding area is super congested and noisy so we chose to stay away from it. Was extremely happy we found this place surrounded by jungle, water, rice paddies and farmland. This place is awesome. Every effort is made to ensure you have a great time. Staff are world class. Food is world class, (it’s Michelin rated I think?) 🌍 It’s also received a bunch of hospitality awards. Villas are perfect for forgetting about the outside world. Really comfy pillows and beds. Breakfast, shuttle, snacks, gym, saunas, cold plunge, private pool, huge shared pool and a bunch of activities all included in a really low price. Bonus - we had the big pool to ourselves 99% of the time! Every night we were serenaded to sleep by frogs and water fall. You won’t be disappointed!

We feel so lucky to have chosen Samsara Ubud for our holiday. From the moment we arrived, Manager Barry and his team made us feel incredibly welcomed. The staff were caring, kind, and attentive, and the atmosphere of the resort was simply beautiful. The facilities - the restaurant, spa, sauna, and the delicious food were all perfect. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was Barry. His professionalism, warm hospitality, and genuine care for us went far beyond our expectations. He made every moment special, and we are deeply grateful for everything he did. An unforgettable experience, thanks to Barry and the wonderful team at Samsara Ubud. Y&J

Wonderful time at the Samara, friendly attentive staff. Especially enjoyed my painting class with Budi - thank you for your patience and for fixing my mistakes! A very relaxing way to spend a morning despite my lack of skill.||Massages and facial were both relaxing. We ate at the restaurant most days and the food was consistently good. Every request we had was attended to quick and effectively.||We look forward to coming back soon.

The staff at Samsara were truly amazing. They were very nice and attentive to all of our needs. The front desk team were all aware of our schedule and helped us coordinate many of our activities. They also helped us book airport pick up/drop off, which was very helpful. We loved the village walk. Our guide Nuh, was amazing! We loved hearing about local Bali traditions and how rice is harvested. All of the places we walked by were very beautiful so it was very relaxing to start our day. We booked deep tissue massages and chakra massages and they were very relaxing. We really enjoyed the food and staff at the Kelusa Restuarant. They have a wide variety of food, so it was easy to find something we liked. The room was very beautiful and luxurious. We loved our heated private pool. The bed sheets were very soft and the pillows were perfect! The bed has been one of the most comfortable ones I’ve stayed at in my entire life so I really looked forward to jumping into bed each bunt. We did the floating breakfast one day and it was lovely. The resort is 2 hours away from the airport and about 30 minutes away from Ubud Center so that can possibly be a downside for some people. We knew this in advance so it was okay. We wanted a hotel in the forest with an amazing view so the drive was worth it for us. There aren’t any restaurants within walking distance so we ate at Kelusa quite a bit. Ubud Center has many more restaurants and they offer a free shuttle to there daily. We booked this hotel months before they were awarded the Michelin Key so we were even more excited to stay here once we saw that. After staying here, I can see why they were awarded the Michelin Key. It was the perfect stay for our honeymoon.

Veni and Desi gave us the best massage what we ever had. They are perfect. Was great. The personel is really kind. The room is clean. The hotel makes relaxation easy and accesible.

What a great experience!! You can draw on wooden eggs, and even draw on any clothes or bags of your own. Please rest assured that Mr. BUDI will assist and teach you to draw anything! It's perfect. This is a unique souvenir in Bali.
