Nestled in about 14 acres of lush landscape in Ubud, Ananda Resort offers a serene and enchanting escape. The staff’s warmth and attentiveness ensure a welcoming atmosphere, making every moment feel special and safe for a solo female traveler. The beautifully appointed rooms, with their classic traditional Balinese decor, provide a peaceful retreat. Whether it’s the picturesque surroundings or the delightful breakfast buffet, Ananda Ubud creates a magical experience that captures the essence of Bali’s charm.

With 3 beautiful yoga pavilions, I wish they actually have scheduled daily yoga classes where guests can opt to sign up for. Currently, they do offer yoga but on an arranged schedule, depending upon how many people are interested so it makes it quite expensive if you’re the only one.

I’ve stayed in Ubud so many time and in different locations and Ananda is now one of my favourite. I didn’t have a private villa but a room up the top level with rice paddie views and a beautiful balcony and it felt so private. I loved the grounds, the great selection from the buffet breakfast, the pools and the room was perfect and so clean and bathroom had a bath. I always had the balcony door open. Everything was super clean. And staff were amazing.

Nothing. As I loved everything

My room was big and comfortable- the outdoor day bed awesome. The daily water in glass bottles was fabulous- liked the eco approach. Staff were so helpful and friendly. The pools - all 3 - what a treat Gardens - beautiful gardens - wildlife love it - frogs, birds, lizards, bees, turtles, fish, squirrels- wow - heaven Ananda is in such a good location- quick scooter to town, lovely walk out in the rice fields, walk to town by laneways or road, or stay local & eat, massage, art, coffee, cocktails - all just across the road Bliss Spa was so nice I especially liked my outdoor bathroom - so special And was thankful for the big umbrella

My aircon was noisy as it is older and not so cold A ceiling fan on the veranda would be a bonus No enough options to fill up reusable water bottles with drinking water

Overall a great place to stay

The food could be improved, the breakfast in particular. The menu is good however the taste is below average. Update the TV's so you can use Netflix and other streaming apps for late night relaxing.

Friendly family run, beautiful accommodation, the grounds are stunning and they were very friendly & hospitable. The family also welcome us into their temple, which we were very honoured, it was a beautiful experience. The only thing was the air-con in the bedroom was on freezing, no matter what temperature was set, the second night we turned it off & the floor was dripping wet & damp, we were also constantly asked by the cleaner, from the time we arrived as to what time we were leaving, we were staying two days & check out was 12 o’clock.

Firstly I liked the property a lot! It has beautiful territory. The staff was helpful and caring.

I changed the room 3 times. Thanks the staff for actually changing. Buuuut! The reason was either rat or big gecko inside the room. Till the end of my stay I was really so hysterically nervous because of that animals. I can understand the gecko, but rat!?!? The guy who helped me to move my stuff said me that there is no rice on the fields, rats has nothing to eat, so they are coming to the restaurant. And my first room was the closest to the restaurant:) 40-43 rooms, be careful. In general, the rooms have big holes in windows, doors, everywhere so the animals and mosquitos can easily come to your room. For me that was very stressful although I really liked your place at the start. Also the choice of breakfast was poor, you need to have more European options

It is a magical and so well maintained place! So close to Ubud center, but still far enough to not me bothered by its hassle. So much nature all around and such a brilliant nice and helpful staff! I only can say 100%!! They even moved us from n room to the other, just to do us a nice favor since we travelled with our toddler.

The walls might be a bit thin for my taste - but it might be objective to each one, since I had my baby sleeping and was nervous about noises coming from the other rooms.

I love the rice fields view from my hotel room and how quiet it was at night time. Every single staff member was amazing and attentive and I loved that it was close to coffee shops, Italian pizza shops and a mini mart across the road. The free shuttle bus was really handy and ran three times a day. Morning buffet breakfast was absolutely amazing! There were also three seperate pools and three different yoga barns to perform yoga in. They also offered on site activities such as traditional offering making, cooking classes and Balinese dance classes.

I loved the outdoor shower but the outside toilet was a bit out of my comfort zone, even though it was completely private. Also, if you’re on the bottom floor, beware of animals eating your clothes throughout the night.

Loved the garden setting and the views of the paddy field. Loved the pools, friendly staff, wildlife, cool outdoor shower, the incense and flowers and the care staff took of us and the whole property. Loved how easy it was to access restaurants as well as quiet walkways through paddy fields and homes. Loved the overall relaxed atmosphere and the carved entrance to our room as well as the two couches. Perfectly set up for a relaxing and luxurious stay.

There was one night where our neighbours were very noisy until after midnight. That was the only thing in 10 days we did not like.

I booked a Rice Terrace View Room at Ananda Ubud Resort during my short stay in Ubud. It happened to also coincide with Nyepi - Balinese New Year. On that day, nobody (the local populace as well as tourists) are allowed to leave their homes or hotel properties. This is observance of the Day of Silence, where electricity is not used for outside lighting. I had a very lovely stay during this time. My room was very spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The room also had a spacious bathroom, a patio, and was close to a small pool overlooking a patch of rice paddy. The atmosphere in this property is very serene. The paths are covered in foliage and walking around is very refreshing. The property is quite spread out as well. The staff are very polite and helpful. The Resort's location is about 2 km from Ubud city centre, and is accessible by walking (not recommended at night due to lack of footpaths in certain spots), cabs or rideshares are easy to find. Please do consider Ananda Ubud Resort for your stay, I'd highly recommend it!.
