Villa Belantara

Set deep in the greenery on the edge of Ubud, Villa Belantara is a true jungle retreat — a cluster of timber-and-thatch pavilions gathered around a long, cool pool that stretches out toward the treeline. Everything here is designed to draw the rainforest in: soaring wooden ceilings, open-sided living, and garden bathrooms that feel carved out of the jungle itself.

The open living and dining pavilion sits at the centre of it all, with a shaded garden bale and a sunken poolside lounge for slow, unhurried days. Mornings arrive to birdsong and mist over the canopy; evenings soften into lantern-lit dinners under the stars.

Five bedrooms — including a romantic four-poster suite — are dressed in natural timber and stone with jungle-facing ensuites, sleeping up to twelve. It is an ideal escape for families or groups craving nature, space and the calm, cultural heart of Ubud close by.
