Why We Recommend Villa Lora

Villa Lora is one of the most appealing private pool villas in the Ubud area, especially for couples who want the intimacy of their own retreat without the resort price tag. At $100–143 per night for a beautifully designed loft-style villa with a private pool, daily housekeeping, and a location just steps from the Sacred Monkey Forest, it delivers outstanding value. This is an adults-only property, which means no compromises on tranquillity — just the sounds of birdsong and rustling frangipani trees in the village of Nyuh Kuning. For honeymooners or couples celebrating a special occasion, Villa Lora offers the kind of personal, unhurried experience that larger hotels simply cannot match.

Our Favourite Features

Private plunge pool with direct room access — The contemporary glass sliding doors open straight from the air-conditioned loft bedroom onto the pool deck, so you can literally roll out of bed and into the water. Two rattan sun loungers and a Balinese daybed complete the poolside setup.
Romantic loft-style design — The open-plan layout blends bedroom and living space under one stylish roof, with a king-size bed dressed in crisp white linen, a flat-screen TV, and thoughtful touches like romantic script on the wall above the headboard.
Freestanding bathtub and rain shower — The en-suite bathroom features both a deep soaking tub and a rain shower, giving you a spa-like experience in complete privacy.
Lush tropical garden setting — The compound is wrapped in vibrant bougainvillea and traditional Balinese artwork, with frangipani trees scenting the air — a genuinely peaceful escape from the busier parts of Ubud.
Walking distance to central Ubud — Despite the tranquil village setting, you are just 2 km from the Sacred Monkey Forest, Ubud Palace, the Yoga Barn, and the ARMA Museum. The best restaurants and galleries of Ubud are a short scooter ride or pleasant walk away.

Good To Know

Adults only (18+) — This is a strict policy, making Villa Lora ideal for couples but not suitable for families travelling with children.
Kitchenette rather than a full kitchen — You get a mini-fridge, microwave, toaster, sink, and coffee and tea making facilities. For full meals, a private chef can be arranged at additional cost, or you can explore the many excellent warungs and restaurants nearby.
Airport transfer is approximately 90 minutes — Ngurah Rai International Airport is around 43 km away. Pre-arranged airport transfers are recommended, especially for late-night arrivals.
Minimum stay varies by season — Low season requires just 2 nights, but peak season (late December to early January) requires a 5-night minimum. Plan ahead during the festive period as availability books up quickly.
Village location means natural surroundings — Nyuh Kuning is a traditional Balinese village with rice paddies and forest nearby. Expect natural wildlife and lush greenery rather than manicured resort grounds — part of the authentic charm that draws guests back year after year.
