overview
Wapa di Ume Ubud stands on Jalan Suweta in Desa Sambahan, about 2 km from Ubud Market and Ubud Palace and a five-minute drive from the centre. Accommodation is in traditional Balinese villas looking over rice fields, each with a private balcony and a bathroom built around a sunken bathtub.
The resort has two pools, two restaurants including Mr. Wayan Balinese Cuisine, a spa, and a fitness centre. Staff arrange cycling and rice-paddy trekking, and cooking lessons are offered. The free shuttle into Ubud centre runs hourly, the most frequent service in this part of Ubud. One deliberate choice worth knowing: there are no televisions in any of the rooms.

our review
There are no televisions, by design. If that sentence makes you uneasy, this is not your hotel. If it sounds like the point, Wapa di Ume is built for you.
Traditional Balinese villas look over the rice fields, each with a private balcony and a bathroom built around a sunken bathtub. There are two pools, a spa, a fitness centre, and two restaurants including Mr. Wayan Balinese Cuisine. A free shuttle runs hourly into Ubud, about 2 km away. A 9.2 from 856 guests is strong and well tested. We would call it one of the better decisions in Ubud for anyone genuinely trying to switch off.
