Last Minute Escape

The place is wonderful and beautiful, and the staff are excellent and very helpful. The food is the problem; I hope there's a solution other than that. No matter how I describe it, I can't do it justice.

This resort is blissfully hidden in the Jungle. A new resort, it's staff and facilities are exceptional. Yoga in the Yoga hall was a perfect way to start the day, then the buffet breakfast had a good selection of foods. A dip in the two infinity pools looking out over the jungle and rice terrices in the distance, mist coming in after a rian, a lovely relaxing time. Not to mention the devine spa treatment (thanks Ayu). If you are wanting a couple of nights to sit and relax in luxury, this is it. While the resort offers shuttles to Ubud, it is some distance, so we declined to go into Ubud and chose to relax at the resort. I cannot complain about the Anantara, but the distance out of Ubud (a good 45min) was a surprise (I didn't look at the map enough). If wanting to use this resort as a base for Ubud, maybe look a bit closer, but this resort is a perfectly relaxing location.

We stayed at Anantara for one night, and it was truly a memorable experience. The first thing that absolutely amazed me was the view from the lobby. It is simply spectacular! Photos honestly cannot do it justice. I think this is one of those places you really have to experience in person to appreciate its beauty. The staff were amazing throughout our stay, always warm, attentive, and welcoming. I was particularly impressed with the bed quality. It was incredibly comfortable, and I loved that they offered different pillow options to suit individual preferences. Such a thoughtful touch! The resort is also a wonderful place to unwind, meditate, and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If you're looking for somewhere peaceful, surrounded by nature and away from the traffic, this is definitely a great choice. We also had dinner at Amerta Restaurant, and the garlic prawns were absolutely delicious! Another thing worth highlighting is how thoughtfully the restaurant accommodated my husband's multiple food allergies and dietary restrictions. This meant a lot to us, as finding places that genuinely understand and cater to food allergies can be challenging when travelling. One more lovely bonus: they offer complimentary photography services! It's such a nice touch and a wonderful way to capture memories of your stay. Although Anantara is a little further away from central Ubud, I genuinely think it's worth the journey. If you're visiting Ubud and looking for a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views, exceptional service, and thoughtful hospitality, I would definitely recommend staying here. We only stayed for one night, but it certainly left a lasting impression. Would love to come back for a longer stay next time!
