Uma Ubud, Bali, Indonesia

Explore the beautiful countryside surrounding Uma Ubud, stroll through local markets, visit art galleries and artisans’ workshops. With Uma, expect an holistic, cultural adventure, complemented by the core of the COMO Shambhala experience, featuring yoga and Asian-inspired therapies devoted not just to the body but to spiritual wellbeing.

Uma is ecologically aware, respecting the land in which its retreats are located. In design, each hotel reflects local aesthetics, combining indigenous detailing with a serene modernity, keeping the number of rooms deliberately limited. Indeed, Uma offers more than the usual five-star hotel experience, but the opportunity to discover subtle layerings of landscapes and forgotten people. Enjoy this within the calming environment of each hotel's location or by active exploration of the surrounding region.

ACCOMMODATIONS
Shambhala Suite - Located on the southern edge of the resort, has possibly the best infinity-edge pool, and a private treatment area.

Uma Pool Suite - The 3 Uma Pool Suites have infinity-edge pools and uninterrupted views across the valley down to the snaking river. The Uma Suite is similar, but without a pool.

Garden Room - There are 10 Garden Rooms positioned along the northern perimeter, all 53sq metres with a private courtyard.

Terrace Room - The 14 superior Terrace Rooms, located throughout the resort, are each 45sq metres with garden terraces.

LEISURE
COMO Shambhala Retreat at Uma Ubud offers Asian-inspired, holistic therapies, an open air yoga pavilion for group and private practice, meditation bale, reflexology area, steam, sauna, gym, four treatment rooms and an expansive jade green pool.

EXPLORE
The hotel is hidden on the fringe of Ubud, overlooking the Tjampuhan Valley amid fenceless fields carved out of hillsides backed by the curve of coconut palms and banyan trees wrapped in vines.

The river Oos runs below; to one side stands a mountain. This topography concentrates both magic and energy in the whispering grass concealing Uma Ubud.

Expect not to be disturbed by the sound of traffic, but the laughter of villagers in pinks, blues and oranges, picking through the Edenic countryside.

Birds cluster in the highest branches. Light floods the open ground, picking out an orchid among the velvet grasses. At night, dew begins to settle, lifting softly with the wisps of morning cloud.

As with every Uma property, the guest experience only begins with the resort. We provide intelligent access to Bali's cultural activities, including visits to Ubud's temples, galleries and museums, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, guided walks and treks through the wildest regions of Bali's undiscovered hills.
