overview
Arya Arkananta Resort & Spa sets family rooms with garden or pool views around a year-round outdoor pool, a fitness centre, a spa, a hot tub and lush gardens, a genuinely well-rounded resort setup in the heart of Ubud's rice-field country.
The restaurant serves Indonesian and international cuisine with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, and breakfast includes fresh pastries, pancakes and juices. Yoga classes run both on-site and nearby, and a tour desk arranges rafting and excursions. Blanco Museum is about 3.2km away and Ubud Palace roughly 4km, while the airport is about 31km, allow extra time, since this is a longer transfer than South Bali hotels.

Plan your Ubud trip around Arya Arkananta Resort & Spa
Start with Arya Arkananta Resort & Spa'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
Two platforms, two very consistent verdicts: 9.1 here, 4.8 on Google across hundreds of reviews. Scores rarely line up that neatly, and when they do we take the praise seriously. Here it lands on the staff.
The resort covers the basics properly for Ubud's rice-field country: a year-round pool with a hot tub beside it, a spa, a fitness centre, gardens, and family rooms facing garden or pool. The kitchen handles vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free as standard rather than as an afterthought, and there are Balinese cooking classes and yoga. Distance is the trade: roughly 31 km from the airport, out among the fields, with no realistic walk into central Ubud. Budget for a driver or a scooter from the first day.

frequently asked questions
Where is Arya Arkananta Resort & Spa located?
Arya Arkananta Resort & Spa is in Ubud, Bali's cultural centre, set among rice fields and temples inland. That makes it a base for the things Ubud is known for rather than a spot to see the whole island from.

It holds a guest review score of 9.1 from 1012 reviews on Booking.com. Guest scores move over time, so check the latest before you book.
How do you get to Arya Arkananta Resort & Spa from the airport?
Arya Arkananta Resort & Spa is roughly 60 to 90 minutes by car from Ngurah Rai Airport in normal traffic. A private transfer or a car with a driver is the simplest way, and traffic in the south can add to that at peak times.
