overview
Ananda Ubud Resort sits among working rice fields about 10 minutes' drive from central Ubud and the Monkey Forest, built as traditional Balinese cottages rather than a standard hotel block. Rooms carry Balinese decor with a private balcony overlooking the paddies, a mini-bar, and a bathtub in the bathroom.
The grounds hold three swimming pools, a spa, and an open-air restaurant serving Indonesian and European dishes. A free scheduled shuttle runs into central Ubud, and the resort offers a genuine cultural programme, Balinese dance lessons, cooking classes, a dedicated yoga room, and bicycle hire for exploring the surrounding villages.

A deeply spiritual and serene resort immersed in the cultural heart of Ubud.
Base yourself at Ananda Ubud Resort in Ubud
Start with Ananda Ubud Resort's live prices for your dates, since room rates in Ubud swing with the season. Then look at activity packages, since the temples, rice terraces and a cooking or yoga class are easy to add once your base is set. Finally, price a car: the sights are spread across the valley, so a car with a driver saves time. The three links below go straight to each.

Follow ready-made Bali itineraries built around the season, then adjust each day to suit your own pace.
our review
Traditional Balinese cottages standing in working rice fields, rather than a hotel block with a paddy view. Every room has a private balcony over the paddies, and that is the reason we would choose it.
Three pools, a spa and an open-air restaurant fill out the grounds, with a cultural programme of Balinese dance lessons and cooking classes, and a free shuttle into central Ubud about ten minutes away. An 8.6 across more than 2,400 guests is a lot of agreement for a 3-star, and it points at consistency rather than luxury: comfortable rooms, not refined ones. The catch is built into the setting. You will be shuttling in and out for dinner, so anyone wanting to walk to Ubud's restaurants should stay closer to the centre.

How do you get to Ananda Ubud Resort from the airport?
