Villa Omah Padi is the kind of Ubud property that reminds you why people fall in love with Bali in the first place. This five-bedroom retreat sits on 1,500 square metres surrounded by working rice paddies, with an infinity pool that drops away into a view of green terraces and palm trees. It is a fifteen-minute drive from central Ubud, which puts you close enough to visit the restaurants and galleries but far enough away to actually hear the birds and frogs in the evening.
The approach sets the tone immediately — a stepping-stone pathway crosses fishponds to reach the main living pavilion, which is an open-air structure with traditional thatched roofing and bamboo accents. It sounds like it could be rustic, but the execution is polished: comfortable seating, proper dining space, and the kind of natural ventilation that makes air conditioning feel unnecessary. The master suite sits on the upper level with a private balcony overlooking the rice fields, while the four remaining bedrooms are split between the main building and separate poolside pavilions.
Why We Recommend Villa Omah Padi
If your idea of a Bali holiday involves waking up to rice field views, eating breakfast prepared by a private chef, and spending the afternoon reading by an infinity pool, Omah Padi delivers exactly that. At $595 per night for five bedrooms, the per-room cost is remarkably good for a property of this size and setting. The staff are a highlight — a butler is on hand for twelve hours daily, housekeeping keeps the villa immaculate, and the chef prepares complimentary breakfast plus additional meals on request. This is the kind of personalised service that makes villa stays genuinely different from hotels.
Our Favourite Features
- The infinity pool overlooking rice paddies is one of the most photogenic settings we have seen at any villa in Ubud
- Complimentary daily breakfast prepared by the villa chef — start every morning with fresh tropical fruit and Balinese coffee
- The open-air Joglo living pavilion has real charm and works beautifully in Ubud’s cooler climate

Good To Know
- The villa is set among rice paddies outside central Ubud — you will need a driver or scooter for restaurants and sightseeing. The villa can arrange transport
- Open-air living is beautiful but means you will encounter tropical insects, especially in the evening. This is the reality of being surrounded by nature
- The setting is peaceful to the point of silence — if you want nightlife or beach access, this is not the right villa for you
- Perfect for yoga retreats, family gatherings, or anyone who wants to disconnect and slow down
For an authentic Ubud experience with rice field views, open-air living, and attentive private staff, Villa Omah Padi is one of the best value five-bedroom options we have found in the area.
