overview
Kastara Resort and Spa sits right on Bukit Campuhan Ridge Walk, about 20 minutes from Ubud Centre, its name comes from the Sanskrit word for 'famous,' and the infinity pool with panoramic valley views lives up to that billing. Private check-in, beauty services and wellness packages set an elevated tone from arrival.
The family-friendly restaurant runs breakfast through dinner with high tea and cocktails, covering local specialties and a range of dietary needs, and a 24-hour concierge handles the rest. A shuttle service is available for a fee, and private parking is free but located off-site, worth confirming before you arrive. Ubud Palace and Tegallalang Rice Terrace are both nearby, with yoga and rafting easy to arrange.

Build your Ubud days around Kastara Resort
Start with Kastara 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
A 9.5 across more than 2,800 guests is the most convincing number in our Ubud list, because at that volume a score cannot be propped up by one good month. Kastara sits directly on the Bukit Campuhan Ridge Walk.
The infinity pool faces the valley, and private check-in, beauty services and wellness packages set the tone from arrival. The restaurant runs breakfast through dinner with daily high tea. Two practical notes: Ubud centre is about 20 minutes away, and the shuttle costs extra, so factor transport into the price rather than assuming it. We would still put it near the top of Ubud at this level.

frequently asked questions
Where is Kastara Resort located?
Kastara Resort 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.
Is Kastara Resort a good hotel?
It holds a guest review score of 9.5 from 2818 reviews on Booking.com. Guest scores move over time, so check the latest before you book.
How do you get to Kastara Resort from the airport?
Kastara Resort 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.
