overview
Bali Spirit Hotel & Spa sits above the river valley near the centre of Ubud, about five minutes' drive from the town and market and close to the museums and temples the area is known for. Rooms are tropical in style with tea and coffee facilities and a fridge, and each has either a private balcony or a garden patio looking out over the surroundings.
There is a spa, an outdoor pool, and a dedicated yoga and meditation room, alongside a woodcarving gallery and a small drugstore on site. Laundry and dry cleaning are available and Wi-Fi is free throughout.
River Forest Restaurant is positioned for the valley view and serves Indonesian, Chinese and international dishes, with a main bar for drinks and light snacks. The airport is about an hour away. This is a comfortable mid-range hotel with a genuinely good outlook, rather than a luxury property.

Make Bali Spirit Hotel & Spa your base for Ubud
Start with Bali Spirit Hotel & 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
Perched above the river valley, five minutes' drive from central Ubud. That combination is the point: the gorge view and the quiet, without being stranded out in the rice fields.
Every room has a balcony or garden patio facing the greenery, with tea and coffee and a fridge. There is a dedicated yoga and meditation room rather than a mat in the corner of a gym, plus a spa, a pool and a woodcarving gallery on site. River Forest Restaurant looks over the valley. It is a 3-star and priced like one, so expect simple rooms and a small operation. For a first Ubud stay built around yoga and the view, we think it is one of the better-value options in town.

It holds a guest review score of 8.4 from 517 reviews on Booking.com, and is rated a 3-star property. Guest scores move over time, so check the latest before you book.
How do you get to Bali Spirit Hotel & Spa from the airport?
Bali Spirit Hotel & 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.
