overview
Arma Museum & Resort occupies the grounds of the Agung Rai Museum of Art, making the museum the setting rather than a nearby attraction. Rooms and villas are spacious under thatched roofs with high ceilings and Balinese decor, looking onto the pool, rice fields, or river.
Staying here includes daily museum entrance, daily afternoon tea, the chance to watch Balinese dance practice, and a 10% discount on outlets and cultural workshops. Three dining venues cover Thai, Asian, and international dishes, and Ubud Palace and Market are about a kilometre away, with the Monkey Forest roughly 10 minutes by car.
Arma Museum & Resort
A captivating blend of Balinese culture and luxurious relaxation.
Build your Ubud days around Arma Museum & Resort
Start with Arma Museum & 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.

our review
The Agung Rai Museum of Art is not nearby. It is the grounds. That inversion is the whole point of staying here, and we have not found another Ubud hotel that offers it.
Daily museum entry, afternoon tea and the chance to watch Balinese dance practice are all included, with a discount on the cultural workshops. Rooms and villas sit under thatched roofs with high ceilings, facing the pool, the rice fields or the river, and Ubud Palace is about a kilometre away. Three restaurants cover Thai, Asian and international. Set one expectation: this is a resort built around culture rather than design, and some rooms show their age. But if Balinese art is why you came to Ubud, nowhere else puts you this close to it.

How do you get to Arma Museum & Resort from the airport?
