PLATARAN UBUD HOTEL & SPA, Ubud (Bali)

The hotel offers air-conditioned rooms and villas, each with a flat-screen satellite TV, minibar, and en suite bathroom with both shower and bath. Deluxe Premier rooms include a private balcony overlooking the rice fields, while the One-Bedroom Villa comes with its own plunge pool for added privacy. Guests staying in the Bima Villa get a traditional Balinese design and direct access to the garden.

Two on-site restaurants serve meals: Teras Restaurant offers a range of authentic Indonesian dishes, and The View provides a setting that looks out over the rice paddies and the infinity pool. A Balinese cooking class, led by Chef Budi, takes guests through a local market tour and hands-on preparation of traditional recipes. Afternoon tea is served daily from 4-6PM in the lounge area, featuring local sweet and savory snacks.

The spa has four treatment rooms offering traditional Balinese massages, body treatments, and facials in a serene setting. Complimentary yoga classes are held each morning, and guests can join the guided village walk that visits a local market and temple. The hotel also provides free afternoon tea, a fitness centre, and organized activities like dancing classes and handicraft workshops.

A kids' club and babysitting services allow parents to enjoy time on their own, and family rooms can accommodate up to three guests. For business events, the hotel has a meeting room, a business centre, and the Banyan Tree Deck - an outdoor space set among the rice paddies for corporate functions or weddings. The property is secured with 24-hour security, CCTV, and a safety deposit box in every room.

The hotel is a five-minute walk from the Ubud Monkey Forest and a ten-minute walk from the Ubud Palace and the central market. Despite being close to the main streets, the property sits within rice fields that create a quiet, natural environment. Plataran Ubud was named Bali's Leading Lifestyle Hotel by the Bali Tourism Awards 2022.
