overview
Junjungan Ubud Hotel and Spa sits in Banjar Junjungan, about 3.5 km up Jalan Tirta Tawar north of Ubud, in a quiet stretch of village and rice-field country. Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms and either a balcony or terrace, looking onto the garden or pool.
The grounds hold an infinity pool, a sun terrace, a hot tub, a fitness centre, and an outdoor fireplace. Free bicycles are offered, though supply is limited. The restaurant covers Indonesian, Italian, American, and Asian dishes, with breakfast available vegetarian, halal, or gluten-free on request. Note that reaching Ubud Palace and the Monkey Forest is a drive rather than a walk, and there is no bar or yoga shala on site.

Base yourself at Junjungan Ubud Hotel & Spa in Ubud
Start with Junjungan Ubud 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
A 9.4 at a three-star is the highest we have in Ubud, and it comes from a quiet village 3.5 km north of town. This is what happens when a small property gets the fundamentals right and does not overreach.
There is an infinity pool, a sun terrace, a hot tub, a fitness centre and an outdoor fireplace, with rooms opening onto garden or pool. The restaurant spans four cuisines and does halal and gluten-free breakfasts. Bicycles are free, though supply is limited. Be clear on one thing: central Ubud is a drive, not a walk. For rice-field quiet at a price that leaves money for everything else, it is hard to beat.
