Bali boasts a vast number of luxurious and unique hotels, making it sometimes difficult to choose. Here are a few hotels I have personally tested and recommend staying at.

The Udaya Resorts & Spa is located in Ubud. It features an excellent spa with a flower bath, beautiful grounds, and delicious food. Nearby, you can find rice terraces. The rooms are equipped with dehumidifiers, eliminating any musty smell—a common issue in many Bali hotels. Here, everything smells fresh and is perfect for relaxation.

Bali Dacha, as a hotel, did not impress me, but it does have a beautiful spa with flower baths and decent massages. It is located in Ubud, away from the main road. There is no direct car access to the hotel, so you need to walk up stairs, and navigating inside can be challenging.

Ulaman Eco Luxury Resort Bali left me with mixed feelings. The grounds are stunning, with villas shaped like cocoons and a beautiful spa center. They also offer floating breakfasts in the large pool upon request in the morning. However, the rooms have a musty smell, and the food in the restaurant is not tasty. The location is remote from the main infrastructure, and it takes about an hour and a half to drive to the airport.

The most captivating aspect of this weekend market isn't just the stalls and aromas, but the building itself, which seems to extend from nature. Bamboo and wood interweave to form the curved roof, allowing light to filter through the gaps, creating a soft, playful effect.

Stepping inside, the air is cool and bright. The structural lines are elegant yet unpretentious, creating a sense of harmony between the building and the wind and trees. Every corner feels like a painting handcrafted by nature.

Wandering in a market like this is a unique experience—the bustle of life is enveloped in beauty, and even time becomes gentle.

If you’re after a spot with that Bali vibe — Tis Cafe is it. Sitting right above the Tegallalang rice terraces, it’s the perfect mix of view and chill: two pools, bamboo decks, and endless green all around. You can swim, snap photos, sip your latte, and just soak up the view.

How to get there
• Around 15 minutes by scooter from central Ubud.
• The road is narrow but scenic — all palm trees and rice fields.
• Type “Tis Cafe Ubud” in Google Maps — it’ll lead you straight down to the entrance.

Come in the morning for soft light and fewer crowds — the terraces look like a painting. 🌾

This marks my fourth visit to Bali, and I've always dreamed of staying in a "Bamboo Villa." However, the high prices of such accommodations had always deterred me. This time, I stumbled upon a newly opened, budget-friendly bamboo villa with a private pool for two—and I immediately decided to give it a try! From the moment I checked in, I was pleasantly surprised. The staff were incredibly friendly and genuine, leaving a great first impression.

🌿 Stepping into the resort was a healing experience: lush greenery and a beautiful semi-open design.
Upon arrival, I was greeted by a semi-open reception area with a view extending to the bamboo groves and greenery beyond. The overall atmosphere was incredibly relaxing. This small resort features around ten double bamboo pool villas. Though compact, the environment is exquisitely designed and surrounded by greenery.

🏡 Inside the Villa: The first floor includes a living room, a small kitchen, and a bathroom, while the second floor houses a bedroom with a balcony. The simple yet cozy design exudes a therapeutic vibe that made me gasp in awe the moment I stepped in!

- Bamboo structure + semi-open design, accompanied by the sounds of nature like chirping insects and flowing water, creating a super relaxing ambiance.
- The first floor features a semi-open living room with a comfy hanging chair perfect for lounging all morning.
- The private pool is impeccably clean, tempting you to take a dip every day.
- Semi-open bathroom: a large round bathtub, a comfortable rain shower, and dual sinks for convenience.
- Bright lighting at night eliminates any fear of darkness often associated with bamboo houses.

☕️ The small kitchen is equipped with a capsule coffee machine, a microwave, and a fridge stocked with complimentary drinks.

🛏 Second-floor bedroom:
- Equipped with air conditioning for comfort and an electric mosquito repellent to keep bugs at bay.
- A safe is also provided in the room.

The entire villa blends seamlessly with nature while offering modern amenities, making it an incredibly comfortable stay.

Additional perks:
- Yoga mats are available for rent.
- You can also sign up for yoga classes and other workshops and activities. Although my schedule was packed this time, I’d love to try them in the future.
- Breakfast can be enjoyed at the restaurant or delivered to your room if you inform the butler via WhatsApp the night before—such a luxurious experience!

🔎 Three things to note (but they didn’t affect my satisfaction):

1. Weak soundproofing (an inherent issue with semi-open accommodations)
Due to the bamboo structure and ventilated design, you can hear loud neighbors more clearly, as well as the sounds of nature (insects, birds, and flowing water).
👉 If you’re particularly sensitive to noise, you might want to consider this.

2. Insect presence (but less than expected)
I was mentally prepared for this, given the nature-centric accommodation. During my stay, I only encountered a few small insects and some harmless black ants near the kitchen’s bamboo pillars, which were entirely within an acceptable range.

3. Water usage caution
The water storage system goes into standby mode at night. If you happen to use up the water tank, there might be a brief water outage. However, the system resumes normal operation after 9 AM.

🌟 Conclusion: A high-value bamboo villa that combines nature, comfort, and affordability.
This villa experience exceeded my expectations:
✔ Natural ambiance of bamboo architecture
✔ Modern and clean facilities
✔ Private pool + semi-open bathroom
✔ Thoughtful butler service
✔ Much more affordable than similar accommodations

If you’re looking to experience your dream bamboo villa without breaking the bank, this is a place I’d gladly revisit and recommend to travelers seeking nature-inspired villas.

The hotel is essentially one big photo zone. Everything is designed to be as beautiful and impressive as possible. However, I personally found the service lacking, as I had to fight to get the floating breakfast in the pool, which the staff simply forgot about. The room smelled damp. In the evening, it was noisy with poor soundproofing, as everything is arranged very compactly. If you're willing to put up with some minor discomfort for a high price, it's definitely worth every shot.
