In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- The views from the three Uma Pool Suites are hard to beat: from your infinity pool you can admire vast panoramas of the lush valley, right down to the Oos river meandering along the bottom. The Shambhala suite has equally camera-friendly vistas, as well as the resort’s finest pool and its own spa treatment room.
- Packing tips
- Inland Bali is the perfect trekking ground so make sure you bring suitable shoes for jungle yomps – sturdy sandals should do the trick. Bring mozzie repellent too.
- Also
- Uma Ubud can organise a range of activities, ranging from adrenaline-fuelled to serenity-filled. Try white-water rafting on the Ayung or biking the jungle. For more sedate thrills, learn yoga, batik, Indonesian puppet making, and mask painting.
