A “relaxed, sunshine-filled space” is how the staff of Como Uma Ubud Resort in Bali describe this luxury Bali hotel: “Narrow paths defined by tall, lushly planted walls lead between rooms and suites, each of which have their own tropical garden.” Here, you can be immersed in Bali culture while at the same time enjoy amenities and treatment that are thoroughly modern — in the midst of the the paddy fields and hills of a lush Indonesian island. The 46 rooms and suites of Como Uma Ubud Resort are designed to evoke the charm of a traditional Indonesian village — a fitting starting point for your discoveries when you venture into the region, explore the temples, landscapes, and artisans’ workshops. During your leisure moments, enjoy open-air living, spacious bathrooms, and infinity plunge pools.
Hungry? You’re in luck. The resort specializes in healthy, light cuisine, with traditional Indonesian dishes as well as their “interpretations” of dishes from other lands, all prepared with fresh local ingredients: superb seafood and just-harvested vegetables. Accompany these with your favorite beverage, as their pool bar is up to the challenge of even sophisticated drinks. Don’t worry if you have kids: there’s a menu just for them too — and, if you want total dining privacy, have an evening meal brought to your room. For extra-special pampering, take advantage of open-air yoga classes or a massage, or other sessions, in the spa, with reflexology area, steam rooms, sauna, gym, and 25m outdoor pool. It’s all here: Como Uma Ubud resort aims to provide “a special place where memories are created and friends and family brought together…all in the most private and tropical of settings.”
