KAPPA SENSES UBUD, Ubud (Bali)

Kappa Senses Ubud offers private villas with outdoor pools and hot tubs, each set within lush gardens overlooking rice paddies. The rooms are arranged in three-level suites with separate sitting areas and large soaking bathtubs. Daily housekeeping is provided twice a day, and room service is available 24 hours.

The hotel operates three restaurants: Kokokan offers semi-gastronomic French-Indonesian cuisine with sunset views over rice terraces, Kelapa serves poolside fusion dishes, and Kepuh provides a daily breakfast buffet with made-to-order eggs and fresh juices. Ingredients are sourced in part from the on-site 2000m2 organic garden. In-villa dining and custom culinary experiences are available upon request.

The OmTara Spa by Clarins provides treatments using Clarins products, including Balinese massages, body scrubs, and facials. Guests have access to a sauna, steam room, and a relaxation lounge before or after treatments. Yoga classes are held daily on an open-air terrace overlooking the jungle.

Daily complimentary activities include permaculture garden tours, cooking classes using herbs from the garden, temple offering workshops, and walks through surrounding rice fields. Evening entertainment consists of live music performances and cocktail mixology sessions. The hotel also offers a free shuttle into central Ubud every two hours.
