5th trip to Ubud and I’ve found my place. For art and culture lovers this resort is a stunning tranquil paradise. Great breakfast, friendly professional staff and close to excellent dining and nightlife (be sure to eat at nearby Twist - the pork ribs are one of the best meals I’ve had.. ever!) Being a historic property rooms are a little rough around the edges but otherwise very charming and a little quirky. I stayed in a delux room. There are more modern rooms available overlooking the rice fields. My toilet was sooo big that I had giggle every time I went in there 🙂
This resort is amazing. Owned and operated by Balinese, it is full of cultural artefacts including an extraordinarily beautiful art museum, daily cultural performances on the gorgeous outdoor stage and daily activities. Of course it has all the other benefits of resorts - restaurants, pools, room service etc. all top class. All my needs were met by the helpful and friendly staff who made me feel like nothing was every any bother at all. So worth a visit.
A lovely oasis in the middle of life filled Ubud. Very nice gardens, relaxing pool, interesting museum and delicious breakfast. Topped only by the ever friendly staff! We had a great time there!
This is the only hotel I have ever visited that is not friendly to the guests staying there and to the local people. It was very disappointing when we came there to provide health services for our guests who were staying there but it was not provided in the room but in the wantilan, and when we asked to use a lounge chair and towels, they were not given them.
We have been fortunate to travel extensively and have visited roughly three-quarters of the countries in the world and we have stayed in many of the finest hotels across every continent. Yet, if I had to choose one place that holds a special place in my heart, it would be Bali, and especially this remarkable ARMA hotel.
My wife and I first stayed here more than 30 years ago, and we continue to return whenever we visit Bali. Few properties in the world offer such a complete and authentic experience.
This is far more than a hotel. It is a destination in itself. The beautiful rice fields, spectacular tropical gardens, temples, world-class museum, art collections, and nightly cultural performances create an atmosphere that is uniquely Balinese and impossible to replicate elsewhere.
The property allows guests to experience the essence of Bali without ever leaving the grounds. It is peaceful, inspiring, culturally rich, and exceptionally beautiful.
What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is its people. The warmth, kindness, and genuine hospitality of the Agung Rai, Suartini, the owners, management, and staff make every guest feel like family. After more than three decades of visits, that feeling has never changed.
In a world where many luxury hotels look alike, this property remains completely unique. It combines culture, art, spirituality, nature, and hospitality in a way I have never seen anywhere else.
For me, Bali is one of the most special places on Earth, and this hotel is my favorite place to stay anywhere in the world.
Highly recommended without reservation.
