We stayed at one of the Villas for three days and it was magnificent.
Unbelievable service and care for guests needs. We will remember the high
quality of the food served in the restaurant by the river.
The architectural design of the villas is simple but stunning and full of all the
latest modern fittings and furniture.
A top experience of shear luxury.

My wife and I had the most fantastic 3 days at THE SAMAYA Bali. The resort was stunning, the staff were very friendly and their attention to detail was amazing. They have such grace and nothing is too much trouble. The resort hugs the river and whilst there is not that much to do in Ubud itself one can get lost and have a very relaxing time at The Samaya for days. The afternoon tea is delicious and we had beautiful dinners every night at the hotel. No need to leave. A pity that the SPA is expensive. A great stay and highly recommend.

Our stay at the Samaya Ubud was absolute perfection. I had read positive reviews and was impressed by the photographs on the Hotel’s website, but the reality was much more beautiful than I could have imagined. This resort is set in the most majestic and breathtaking landscape and those staying have amazing views of the forest, rice fields and the Ayung River.
Every aspect of our villa, which included a deep pool for our private use, was beautifully presented. Our every need had been predicted and taken care of by friendly and kind staff. I enjoyed the quiet privacy this hotel offers. When we needed anything we were quickly helped.
All of the staff enjoyed their work and were very sincere. I appreciated the way the staff were happy to share their knowledge of Ubud and its surrounding areas, all of which they were very proud. They made our stay very enjoyable.
The Samaya offers its guest’s free transport into Ubud – and this was invaluable. The freedom to go into town whenever we liked – even for dinner – in air-conditioned comfort was wonderful. When traveling in with the Hotel’s driver we would be shown points of interest and had interesting conversation about their family life or interests.
We chose to eat at the Hotel often because the two restraints in the Hotel serve authentic Balinese and Indonesian food as well as having and international menu – all of which we thoroughly enjoyed. In addition the hotel gives all guests a full breakfasts with everything we wanted as well as afternoon teas that included much more than we could finish. It was the only Hotel that served Western food - such as scones and vanilla slices that were just like home and I have to admit that was a nice treat.
I would especially like to thank the staff of the Samaya for being so friendly and fun. We really enjoyed their company and insight. A special thanks to our butler, Marcel, who took the time to get to know our 5 year old, and was constantly helping us, especially on the last day when our flight did not leave until 10:10pm; Wayan who took the time to show us special sites around Ubud and helped my Husband find a very special woodcarving; Yoga, Ngurah and Angus who played with our 5 year old and brought him extra strawberries and treats; and IB Loka who took us on a master class in Balinese cooking – his careful and clear instructions were great and he communicated with a real passion and love for what he does.
Anyone chosing to stay at the Samaya will have a very special love for Ubud Indonesia and its people, thank you.

Room tip: All the rooms are beautiful. Those with children may need special care as pools have no gates.

I arrived at the Samaya, Ubud after a terrible flight and I just needed to relax! It was our 3rd stay at the Ubud branch and I would prefer that one to the beach one! I actually booked that hotel by accident but it was the best hotel mistake I've ever made! The room was neat, modern and spacious! It had a beautiful view of the rapid river (must eat at the resterant by the river!) and kingfishers swooped down from the lush trees. The service is the BEST I have ever experienced; I have a diary allergy and the manager looked after me well. I am 14 years old and it is a place where parents can relax and kids can cycle and swim! Must Go!
