Naya Ubud

like family

my door lock was difficult

I stayed at Naya as part of a retreat and it was completely perfect! Lovely rooms, charming outdoor shower, tasty food, beautiful yoga shalla, and amazing staff. It's a wonderful place for a relaxing time.

It’s beautiful natural landscape.

mosquitos which are just part of the overall Balinese experience😃

My friends and I loved staying at Naya. I think the photos are quite understated compared to how lush and beautiful it feels. Our bedroom had so many windows and you felt like you had the jungle right at your room and a cool outdoor, undercover bathroom where you could shower and look out at the rice fields. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us and we had such a serene, peaceful feeling and ended up spending longer than usual taking our time in the mornings and enjoying being there. You're walking distance to so many excellent restaurants but far enough out of town that it was nice and quiet. Wish we could have stayed for longer!

The 'Prem' room I stayed in was great, very comfortable, however, if you are looking for somewhere quiet to retreat, this is not the place to stay. There were two dogs living at the property that barked through the night and one even slept outside my door, which was quite intimidating. The dogs also lingered around the eating space which seemed very inappropriate and also made me uncomfortable, particularly when spending $200 per night.

The property didn't meet my expectations, it is not exactly as advertised on their website. I ended up checking out of this accommodation early as the other rooms were not as advertised, missing furniture and not appealing for a retreat. If you are looking for somewhere scenic and beautiful to stay in Ubud I would avoid this place, you are best to put the money toward one of the nicer hotels close by. Staff seemed to be very inexperienced and not very helpful either. The massage space was not set up for treatments and was very messy.

Really amazing, kind, helpful and very friendly staff! Two houses, with two bathrooms. Top location, because Ubud center is nearby, 5 minutes drive with a bike. And there is a walking area just next to the house, through the lush rice fields, with amazing sunsets and sunrises. The house is perfect for short term stay. You can use the second Joglo as yoga shala and meditation room, or set up an altar for prayer. We enjoyed it very much.

We chose to stay at Naya for a three day getaway and feel we made an excellent choice. Lovely gardens, nice pool, great room (Prem) and excellent food. We took every meal either on our balcony or by the pool. The whole experience was just what we needed and we plan to return. In these Covid times, it was good to see that the staff were sensitive to masking and distancing and the room was open and breezy.

We spent 6 nights at this amazing retreat in October 2019. We opted for the private retreat. It's everything we wanted it to be with fresh food, amazing relaxation spaces, yoga, meditation and the opportunity to just be. We were upgraded to the Amrita room which was spacious and clean. The morning yoga and afternoon meditation was enjoyable and varied and in a gorgeious space next to the jungle. The retreat is a little out of town, only a 20 minute walk but we really liked that and there are a few restaurants within walking distance. The staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend Naya Ubud.

I visited as part of an international Yoga Retreat group. I shared a room which was hugely spacious giving relative strangers plenty of personal space. The bathroom was luxurious though with 4 persons sharing the room, it might be an idea to have the toilet separate from the bathroom. There was a range of accommodation structures, all set amongst tropical gardens and laid out so as each felt secluded and private. The rooms were well furnished, the grounds were immaculately maintained, the pool was clean, the staff were courteous and friendly. Enjoyed all the little nooks and crannies, where Retreat members could easily find a quiet space for contemplation or join the others in the communal areas. the Yoga Shala was a very impressive building overlooking the forest, and the Spa/Massage centre was also set in a lovely area in nature. The food was plentiful with a huge variety of fresh local dishes and also variations of western dishes for our international group. Special dietary needs were always catered for. I was on an alcohol-free Challenge and staff permitted me to bring a bottle of alcohol free wine to have with dinner, and they sourced some local Bintang Zero for me to buy, for which I was very grateful. The venue is secluded and peaceful with walks along the rice fields just outside, and only a hundred metres or so through the fields to the bustling village streets, and a short taxi drive to the centre of Ubud for shopping and sightseeing. Take note though, that traffic can be extremely busy in the afternoons, so try to plan your central Ubud excursions for early in the day or late in the evening. Staff and drivers were friendly and courteous, the dogs were friendly too!

I ran a 7 night Yoga retreat here and will outline some of the pros and cons. The facilities and accommodation were lovely and I was very impressed with the food. Whilst most of the staff were very friendly and welcoming, we were a little disappointed by the customer service of some of the staff members on reception. The planned activities, including the tour guides, all had some minor issues and miscommunication including our driver getting lost on the way to the Pyramids of Chi. One night there was no hot water in one room and the following night had no water at all. All in all, the pros definitely outweigh the cons, but it wouldn't take much to shift the experience from good to great!
