Uma Ubud

Uma Ubud is located in the centre of Bali. A small but lively town regarded as the islands cultural hub. The town is a compelling mix of rustic tradition and Hindu spiritualism. The hotel occupying a 3 hectare site is hidden on the fringe of Ubud overlooking the Tjampuhan Valley amid paddy fields carved out of hillsides backed by coconut palms and banyan trees. The river Oos runs below - one side stands a mountain. The town where there are numerous shops-galleries and local restaurants is a five-minute drive/20-minute walk.
