The luxurious Samaya Ubud is a peaceful, understated property along the Ayung River, about 15 minutes outside of Ubud proper. The hotel's 19 villas have one, two, or three bedrooms and come with their own private plunge pools and gardens. There are two restaurants on-site, in addition to a selection of romantic private dining options available for booking, such as candlelit dinners by the river. Beauty and body treatments are offered at the spa or can be booked in-room, and there's also a fitness center and small pool, though it's not used frequently as all villas have lovely private pools. The hotel offers a variety of activities (for an extra charge) including cooking classes, nature walks, and other excursions, but they can get pricey. The nearby Four Seasons Resort Bali At Sayan has more extensive spa facilities and stylish suites and villas, but rates are often more expensive.
