overview
The Royal Pita Maha occupies a roughly 44-acre estate at Kedewatan, falling away to the Ayung River. Accommodation is entirely in villas, 75 units in total, of which 72 have their own private pool, with three Royal Spa Villas adding a private jacuzzi and spa room. The estate holds three pools, five dining outlets, and a spa with sauna and hot tub.
A daily yoga class is included rather than charged, unusual at this level. Meals including breakfast can be taken in the villa, and packed lunches can be requested. Note this is a different property from the smaller, more central Pita Maha Resort & Spa on Jalan Sanggingan, worth double-checking which one you're booking.

Plan your Ubud trip around Royal Pita Maha Hotel
Start with Royal Pita Maha Hotel'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
Seventy-two of the seventy-five villas have their own pool. That ratio, on a 44-acre estate falling down to the Ayung River, is the clearest statement of what this place is selling.
Three Royal Spa Villas go further with a private jacuzzi and their own spa room. The estate holds three shared pools, five dining outlets and a spa with sauna and hot tub, and the daily yoga class is included rather than charged. A 9.6 from 565 guests is about as high as scores go in Ubud. Kedewatan is a drive from town, which is the standard trade here. We would put it at the top of the Ubud villa list.
