The 25-room Viceroy Bali is a luxury hotel that draws high-end clientele with its tropical setting overlooking Petanu Valley and its convenient helipad. The property also offers airport limousine service, an open-air restaurant, and a lovely pool with a swim-up bar. A hillside spa and modern gym complete the list of excellent amenities. The spacious Balinese villas have private pools, flat-screen TVs, safes, and indoor/outdoor sitting areas; some have thatched-roof gazebos. There’s golf cart transportation on-site, but the grounds are often sloped so getting around can be tricky. Another luxurious option is the Chedi Club Tanah Gajah. Wi-Fi, breakfast, and parking are all free at the Viceroy (but expect sky-high rates).

Nestled among rice fields and rain forest removed from the bustling tourist hub of central Ubud, this beautiful upscale property is a resort more in the sense of being a peaceful haven rather than a sprawling property teeming with amenities. Relaxation is such a priority here that the 15 huge rooms, housed in traditional Javanese huts with tastefully remodeled interiors, don’t even have TVs or work desks. Guests pass their time on-site lounging by the beautiful outdoor pool, taking yoga or meditation classes, or getting spa treatments. Free amenities include breakfast, high tea, and Wi-Fi throughout. Guests seeking some solitude will love the creature comforts and natural beauty. There's also a free shuttle to Ubud. Svarga Loka Resort offers similar features (like a gorgeous pool and spa) but it’s walkable to the center of town.

Padma Ubud Retreat is a two-and-a-half-pearl bed-and-breakfast in the northern part of the center of Ubud, right by the city's famous Saraswati Temple and a short walk from tons of shops and restaurants.

There's little in the way of amenities at this property, though breakfast is included in the room rates and includes lots of fresh tropical fruit along with made-to-order eggs. There's also a lovely outdoor swimming pool flanked with lush foliage. Travelers shopping around may want to also consider a stay at Ubud Bungalow, located right in the center of town.

Sapodilla Ubud is a small, three-pearl hotel located in the southern part of Ubud, about a 10-minute walk to Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary. The 14 rooms here are all called Suites, and while they are lovely, with marble floors and wooden furniture, they are a bit small and bland to merit their name. The piece de resistance here is the swimming pool, a long, narrow strip with a gorgeous vine-covered wall running along one side. Additional amenities are limited, though there is a free breakfast service at the beautiful White Ginger restaurant, along with three parking spots and a shuttle to the airport and area attractions. Travelers looking for a three-pearl property with a bit more in terms of amenities may want to compare rates at the Agung Raka Resort & Villas, which offers a mix of villas and hotel rooms.

Ubud Green is a three-and-a-half-pearl all-villa property that's a five- to 10-minute drive from Ubud's town center. The star of the show here is the view, which looks out onto the hotel's own rice fields and the jungle beyond. These are particularly spectacular from the villas with private pools. The 16 villas feature air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi, and are silent at night. Some villas are looking a little tired, particularly the bathrooms, and insect issues aren't uncommon. The restaurant serves well-liked and healthy meals, and there's also a spa. Free shuttles run into town and mobile phones are provided to call the hotel. If you'd like something closer to Ubud's center, check out KajaNe Mua Private Villas instead, which has a bit more style but can be noisier.
