Uma Ubud in Bali is an uplifting and impressively chic addition to the idyllic Indonesian island.
Another jewel in the crown of Como Hotels and Resorts arrives on the Indonesian island of Bali. Overlooking the Tjampuhan valley and the Oos river, Uma Ubud is nestled amidst rice paddies carved out of hillsides, backed by coconut palms and banyan trees, while Ubud is a small, lively town that's considered to be Bali's cultural hub. The 46 rooms and suites are expansive, all with front and back patios. Breakfast is served on a frangipani-encircled terrace at Kemiri (which means"candlenut" in Bahasa), while the poolside Uma Bar spills out from a lounge area serving champagne, fine wines, martinis and negronis. The entire property has an air of beauty about it, from the ceramic floor tiles to the deep-teal plunge pools and the Javanese plantation furniture. For total harmony, there's the Como Shambhala wellness retreat, offering the best in Asian-inspired treatments, with active pursuits including temple visits, biking and trekking. Time to get exploring. (comohotels.com/umaubud)
