Uma Kalai

Everything tbh, especially the attention to detail from the staff

Not much really.

This hotel is impeccable, I loved everything about my stay here. The staff were especially friendly and helpful and I look forward to coming back

Uma Kalai made my honeymoon experience so memorable - it was the best place we stayed at in Bali. The private villa was beautiful, new and clean. We had a small pool and the pool was always heated, the bathroom was so big complete with a steam room. I was amazed as to how quickly our room is cleaned - we would go eat breakfast for an hour and in that time our beds would be made, the curtains drawn, the daybed set up etc. etc. There were also practically no mosquitos or bugs which is incredible given the lush greenery. Truly a paradise. Ayu, Ami, Ade were also so so kind and helpful. Food was delicious and they offer a lot of activities that we booked through them such as the Mt Batur hike. Best hotel/resort I've ever stayed at, I would 100% re-book if I came to Ubud again.

Breakfasts were very good, loved being away from hustle and bustle of Ubud

Staying at Uma Kalai in Ubud was an exceptional experience that exceeded all of our expectations. The property itself is stunning, nestled in the lush landscape of Ubud, offering breathtaking views. The architecture and interiors reflect a perfect blend of traditional Balinese culture and modern luxury. However, what truly set our experience apart were the people. In particular Gusti and Rana. Gusti’s attention to detail, friendliness and espresso martinis are unmatched and he made travelling with a nut allergy extremely comfortable (and even made us our very own nut free snacks!). Rana, the driver, was another highlight of our stay. Rana’s friendly demeanour and expertise in navigating the roads of Bali made all of our trips enjoyable and stress free. Rana shared insights about Balinese culture and history and pointed out hidden gems along the way. We cannot recommend Uma Kalai enough to anyone staying in Ubud!

I can’t say enough about this incredible place! To paraphrase what one previous reviewer stated, just go ahead and book it! You will not regret your decision! Everything was impeccable. The staff were so accommodating and lovely. The food was excellent and the highest quality produce I had anywhere on the island. The grounds and amenities are top notch. We took advantage of almost everything this property had to offer. Some of our highlights were the couple’s massage (and I absolutely loved the smell of their proprietary massage oil that is also for sale onsite), the morning sunrise yoga class, the private Pilates reformer class that I requested and paid for, and a full-day tour we took of local sites (Jatiluwih Rice Terrace, Sangeh Monkey Forest and more) with the hotel’s private driver. Our experience was truly amazing. Every need was met. The villa was incredibly clean and the bed was oh so comfortable and pillowy soft! And I can’t say enough about the service we received — from pre-planning our tour and activities with Ms. Eka and Ayu ahead of our stay (they were great in their communication via WhatsApp), to the driver, Rana, who delivered us from the airport and also took us on a full day tour, to the wonderful butler staff, Ade, Ami, and Gusti, who met our every request, to the kitchen and wait staff for the wonderful food served, and last but not least to the cleaning staff who keep the entire property spotless and welcoming. If I ever return to Bali I will certainly stay here again! Note that we stayed here for 5 nights and then for another 5 nights at a different property closer to the center of Ubud. For relaxation and a place to truly unwind, away from the hustle and traffic-jammed streets of downtown, this is THE BEST place to stay.

We loved everything about Uma Kalai. The quality of the accommodation, food, service were impeccable. Best of all were the staff. Ade, Ami and Gusti made us feel so welcome and comfortable. We learned so much from them all about Bali, the culture and good places to visit nearby. Gusti’s cocktails very some of the best we’ve had! The location, views and sense of peace and tranquility make this a really special place. We enjoyed our stay at Uma Kalai so much that we cut short our time to spend our last few days there. We can’t wait to return

The rooms, the spa, the food, the staff, all of it. Absolutely exceptional property.

This place is 10 out of 10. The service, views, rooms, food, everything was exceptional. A big thank you to the entire team for making us feel so welcome and taken care of. Can’t recommend enough!
