Naya Ubud

My daughter and I hosted a yoga and meditation retreat here at the end of April, 2019 and it was unforgettable! Everything about this property is magical. The rooms are beautiful and with air conditioning if you like. The food, well, it was so so delicious and fresh every time. No disappointments. Some of our group had some diet restrictions and the resort happily made changes to accommodate them. It is set on a river in the back and totally surrounded by nature. We loved the yoga shala where we had our daily classes and they always had it cleaned, incense lit, and ready for us whatever time we needed it. Also, the people who work here, serving, cleaning, cooking and helping us out at the front desk, were always smiling and willing to please. There was always a ride waiting for us when we needed it. It is magical here....don't miss it. Just go for a rest. You will he amazed.

Naya is wonderful! Superb hospitality! Excellent food! Bintari and Katut were priceless, sweet ladies! They did a demonstration of offerings for us that was amazing! Complete with blessings! This resort was so clean and private, it was a dream! Comfy bed, amazing pool and the most gorgeous Yoga Shaka! Masseuses were fabulous! Flowers were put out everywhere, property is beautifully designed and spotless. Their drivers were always on time and accommodating. I highly recommend this magical spot! Great walks right outside the front door through rice patties. Close to Ubud and enmeshed in the Bali culture. Go to Naya!

I went on a yoga retreat for 7 days at Naya Ubud. I can't express how much I loved being there. Smiles and warm hearted staff everywhere. Its simple and peaceful and quietly perfect. Accommodations were beautiful with air conditioning, the most comfortable beds, and space to be inside and out. I never missed a meal there ! We had 3 home cooked buffets of the most delicious food you can imagine. Purified water everywhere, including your room. The Yoga pavilion is surrounded by lush jungle, pure oxygen and wild life. Get a massage facing the jungle. I had one of the most loving massages by Lizzee......The pool is so pure and refreshing. You can walk the rice paddle fields and be at peace. They help you get taxis and even tours. Go.

Stayed by myself in Villa Naomi, which is just across from the main hotel. Had my own ‘butler’ bring me my food orders, and cooked me breakfast everyday. The staff were brilliantly helpful, booking drivers to take me to the rice terraces and the water temple. The yoga was lovely - I am a total beginner and the teachers were very patient with me whilst I manoeuvred myself through the practises! A complete little escape from everyday life. Only downside was the building work next to and opposite the villa! Not terribly intrusive to me, but might have bothered some.

Clean accommodations with excellent customer service. Ketuti and her staff are so kind/friendly and attentive to your every need. The food was freshly prepared from local sources. We attended a Yoga Retreat while at this hotel and we were happy with the very nice Yoga Shala but the bugs (can't see them easily) can be annoying since you are in the jungle. If you eat off grounds you must try "Bridges" for a delicious but casually dressed dinner--Go a little earlier so you can enjoy a cocktail Riverside downstairs. An excellent experience. Also the Tegalalang Rice Terraces were a highlight---We enjoyed a large Swing over the Terraces too-- for 100,000 Rupiah which was about $7 US dollars!! We understand that Ubud is very commercialized now that "Eat Love Pray" was written and filmed there, so the town is very congested but Bali is Beautiful and so worth the trip.

We had the most lovely, peaceful, romantic and attended to holiday at Naya Ubud. Our private cottage was spacious complete with pristine pool, yoga deck, yoga/massage studio and beautiful bedroom with private outdoor bath. It was great to be away from the noise and crowds of Ubud but within walking distance to the center. Naya took care of everything, including a private driver for anywhere we needed to go, setting up in house yoga and massages that were excellent and providing a local mobile phone for us all at no extra charge! Our butler, Wayan Suti, became a friend knew just how to meet our needs. The food was delicious, and we are just hoping to come back someday soon!

I booked a 1 week yoga and meditation retreat package. I happened to be the only guest at the time, at least I didn't see any other guest during my entire stay. So this was a bonus for me. The staff were all kind, diligent, and accommodating. Waha was great at coordinating my daily activity schedule and arranging for pick-ups/drop-offs. The kitchen staff were sweet and all the meals were delicious and hearty. The Balinese banana pancakes were the best I had in Bali. Fruit bowl was abundant and always fresh. My yoga sessions were exactly tailored to my needs. All of my teachers were wonderful -- Ashley, Ellie, and Sheryl. I learned so much fro each of them. The daily massages were heavenly. The property is beautiful. I stayed in the Prem villa. Very nice and comfortable. There was one night a mouse was in my room, and the staff tried to remove it. I realized the next day that it was attracted by the fruit bowl that was there as I found chewed banana spread all over the floor. After the fruit was removed, the mouse never came back. Nothing negative on Naya's part -- just a practical precaution...don't leave food around. The bathroom was beautiful. Enough hot/warm water for a shower, but not enough to fill the giant soaking tub. But it was still enjoyable. I rested very well, and the retreat provided the solitude and healing I was seeking. Thank you everyone at Naya who took care of me! I can't wait to return many times <3
