The Samaya Ubud Villas

EXPERIENCE: Staying at the Samaya Ubud was the highlight of our two week vacation in Bali. All staff greeted us with warmth which made us feel welcomed and at home immediately. VILLA: We stayed in the one-bedroom Hillside Villa for 3 nights before extending for an extra night at the 2 bedroom Villa. The private pool was fantastic, clean and well maintained. The king size bed is extremely comfortable, the linens were clean and light, perfect for the warm climate. The bed is centred in the room, surrounded by large folding door windows, offering panoramic views of the garden during the day. The Jacuzzi bath tub is definitely a highlight in the bathroom. RESTAURANT:The views are stunning, the sounds of the river flowing offers a sense of calmness and the food is of great quality. YOGA: Great Instructor, was clear, friendly, and extremely encouraging when we were trying new positions and accommodating if we were unable to do a specific position. Could not have been more satisfied to have had my first ever yoga session at the Samaya. I will always remember this session, and would highly recommend to other beginners and/or yoga enthusiasts to give go. SPA:The spa treatment was brilliant and reasonably priced. The two masseurs were experienced, attentive and made us feel relaxed throughout the session. This was definitely one of our highlights from our stay. SERVICE: The highlight of our stay has to be the staff and service at The Samaya Ubud. You really get a sense that they put their guest’s needs first at all times. Right from the check-in process through the the check-out, every detail is well thought out with the guest in mind. There is a personal touch with the team at Samaya. The staff really go out of their way to know their guests by name, this made us feel really special.

Villa is spacious and well appointed. Pool and private grounds delightful. We intended to eat at different places during our stay, but the food at Samaya was so good we elected to eat on site throughout. Do not miss Swept Away during your stay - excellent food quality, presented beautifully in a stunning location by the river, and food is prepared in imaginative and novel combinations by an expert chef and his staff, and served by and equally expert front of house team. You may pay a bit more at The Spa than in the many other spas that abound in Bali, but it is in a great (and unique) location and the technicians are superb, so it certainly felt like good value to us. Only 15 minutes away from the bustle and chaos of Ubud centre, Samaya is an oasis of calm and tranquility. The whole Samaya experience was just right - great personal service, friendly staff, a lovely place to unwind and relax with as much privacy as you want (or not). My highest regards and thanks to all who work so hard (while making it look so effortless) to make this a stand-out experience for guests. We would not hesitate to return.

Beautiful stunning hotel, breakfast was very good, private pool was fab and the facilities were amazing. Staff were so good always happy to help, nothing was to much trouble.

This property went above and beyond our expectations and was worth every penny. Everything was exactly as it should be - in great working order and clean. It’s a stunning property and breakfast had the best views! I recommend going early for breakfast in order to get yourself the seats with the best views. We used the massage facilities for a couples massage and that was perfect. we had dinner at the on-site restaurant, Swept Away, which was along the river bank. That experience was also perfect, the service standards were beyond our expectations. overall this property is one of a kind and you can tell that the management and staff truly take pride in everything they do. I would love to return!
