OUR PERSONAL REVIEW

Our experience

4

Nestled in the lush rainforest just outside Ubud's bustling center, Taman Dewata offers an unforgettable blend of Balinese elegance and modern luxury. My stay at this hidden gem exceeded all expectations.

Upon arrival, I was greeted with cool lemongrass-infused towels and a welcome drink of young coconut water mixed with local herbs. The open-air lobby, built around ancient banyan trees, immediately set the tone for what would be a harmonious retreat.

My villa featured a private infinity pool overlooking the jungle ravine, with distant views of Mount Agung on clear mornings. The indoor-outdoor bathroom with its massive stone soaking tub and rain shower became my personal sanctuary. Each evening, staff performed a turndown service that included lighting incense and placing frangipani blossoms throughout the room.

The highlight was their floating breakfast experience—enjoying tropical fruits, fresh pastries, and Balinese coffee while lounging in my private pool as the morning mist rose from the jungle below.

The spa treatments, particularly their signature "Dewata Blessing" massage combining traditional Balinese techniques with aromatherapy using oils made from flowers grown on the property, left me in a state of blissful relaxation.

Pro tips

  • Transportation: Rent a scooter to explore beyond Ubud center, but arrange for hotel transfers for longer trips. Traffic and parking can be challenging during high season.

  • Best timing: Visit the popular tourist sites (Sacred Monkey Forest, Tegalalang Rice Terraces) before 9am to avoid crowds and the midday heat.

  • Local dining: While hotel food is excellent, venture into town for authentic warungs. Try Warung Biah Biah for affordable local cuisine and Locavore for a splurge-worthy fine dining experience.

  • Cultural immersion: Book a private session with a local healer (balian) through your hotel concierge for a genuine traditional experience.

  • Shopping smart: Prices at the Ubud Art Market start at 3-4 times the final price. Friendly bargaining is expected—aim for 50-60% of the initial asking price.

  • Weather preparedness: Pack a light rain jacket even in dry season. Afternoon showers can come suddenly in this microclimate.

  • Digital detox: While most accommodations offer WiFi, embrace the opportunity to disconnect. The genuine magic of Ubud happens when you're fully present.
