Dedary Resort & Spa Ubud by Ini Vie Hospitality  

Tucked into Tegallalang on the edge of Ubud, this luxury resort sits about 1 km from the city center and minutes from Tegallalang Rice Terrace, Ubud Palace and the Ubud Monkey Forest. It's also close to Elephant Cave, Museum Purbakala, Pura Kebo Edan and Manuaba Waterfall — an ideal base for Ubud sightseeing, and pet-friendly.

Sixteen air-conditioned villas and rooms blend modern-luxe fittings with local touches, and many feature private plunge pools and LED TVs. Kitchenettes come with full-size refrigerators, stovetops and microwaves; rooms include safes, iPod docks and daily housekeeping, and there's an on-site spa offering massages and facials.

Pamper yourself at the full-service spa, lounge by the outdoor pool or slip into your private in-room pool; bicycles are available to explore rice-terrace lanes. The property also offers a picnic area, two bars/lounges, complimentary wireless internet, a complimentary area shuttle (within 5 km) and valet parking — wake up to rice-terrace mornings.

24-hour front desk, concierge, luggage storage and dry cleaning/laundry services keep things running smoothly. Complimentary wireless internet and the area shuttle make short transfers and light business needs straightforward.

An on-site restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with a focus on Thai flavors, plus a coffee shop/café and limited-hours room service. Cooked-to-order breakfasts are available daily (7:30–10:30), and a daily guest reception brings people together.
