Why We Recommend Villa Griya Aditi
Villa Griya Aditi is one of those Ubud villas that genuinely delivers on the rice paddy dream. At $485 per night for three bedrooms, that’s $162 per room — and for that you get an infinity pool with uninterrupted views across working rice fields, a full team of Balinese staff including a resident driver, and an interior that balances traditional craftsmanship with modern comfort. Many Ubud villas claim rice paddy views but deliver a partial glimpse through trees; here, the panorama from the pool is the real thing.
The inclusion of a resident driver is a genuine bonus in Ubud. The town’s narrow roads and spread-out attractions mean you’ll want transport for exploring, and having your own driver means spontaneous trips to the Sacred Monkey Forest, Tegallalang terraces, or Ubud’s art galleries without the hassle of negotiating taxis. Add a dedicated cook, butler, and housekeeper to the team, and you’re essentially getting boutique hotel service in a private setting.
Our Favourite Features
- The infinity pool overlooking uninterrupted rice paddy views — watching the light change across the terraces from the pool edge is worth the trip to Ubud alone
- A full staffing team including resident driver, cook, butler, and housekeeper — this level of service at this price point is exceptional for Ubud
- The master suite with private veranda, king bed, soaking tub, and outdoor shower — genuinely luxurious and positioned for the best views in the villa
- A dedicated media room separate from the living area — perfect for rainy afternoons or keeping the kids entertained while adults relax poolside
- The smaller plunge pool alongside the main infinity pool — a thoughtful addition for cooling off without disrupting the tranquil main pool atmosphere
Good To Know
- Located in Ubud’s rice paddy countryside rather than the town centre — beautifully peaceful but you’ll rely on the resident driver for restaurants, markets, and cultural sites
- Three bedrooms sleep six comfortably: one king master suite and two queen rooms, all with private verandas — suited for families or three couples
- The rice paddy setting means you’ll hear nature — frogs, insects, birds — especially at dusk and dawn. It’s part of the charm, but light sleepers should note it
- Ask the cook to prepare Balinese dishes rather than just Western options — the local cuisine tastes completely different when made fresh with market ingredients
- Ubud is noticeably cooler and more humid than the coastal areas — the climate suits relaxation and the lush green views wouldn’t exist without it
Villa Griya Aditi is ideal for travellers who want the authentic Ubud experience with genuine luxury and attentive staff. The rice paddy infinity pool alone makes it memorable, but the full-service team and thoughtful layout make it a stay you’ll talk about long after leaving Bali.
