Natura Resort and Spa  

Snug on the Petanu River just outside Ubud (about 2–3 km from the center), this riverside resort puts you a short drive from Ubud Palace and the Ubud Monkey Forest, with Tegallalang Rice Terrace and local galleries within easy reach.

Fourteen luxury villas by local architect Popo Danes sit among native foliage and face the sunset over the river valley. Rooms feature private patios or balconies, pillowtop beds with Egyptian cotton sheets, minibars and DVD players, LCD/satellite TVs, and bathrooms with separate tubs and rainfall showers.

A full-service spa and massage rooms, indoor and outdoor pools, a hot tub/spa tub and a health club set the wellness tone. There’s a library and barbecue area, gift shop/newsstand, concierge service, complimentary area shuttle, and free self-parking — perfect for waking up to river-valley mornings and slow, spa-ready days.

Event facilities include a conference center and meeting room. Featured services: express check-in/out, dry cleaning and laundry, a 24-hour front desk, multilingual staff, and complimentary wireless internet; an airport roundtrip shuttle is available for a surcharge.

On-site restaurant, bar/lounge and a coffee shop/cafe keep things easy, plus limited-hours room service. A complimentary English breakfast is served each morning from 7:00–10:00 AM.
