A wellness-focused hillside hotel above the Tjampuhan Valley in Kedewatan: minimalist thatched design, a private plant-rimmed pool in every villa from Garden Pool Villa up, and a COMO Shambhala spa built around multi-day programmes rather than a single treatment. It's a shuttle ride from central Ubud, not a walk, and there's no beach — book it for the valley, the quiet and the wellness focus, not for nightlife or the coast.
COMO Uma Ubud sits above the Tjampuhan Valley in Kedewatan, on the quiet, wooded side street of Jalan Raya Sanggingan rather than in central Ubud itself. The design is minimalist and thatched, built into a hillside, and every villa from Garden Pool Villa upward has its own plant-rimmed pool; smaller Ubud and Terrace Rooms share a garden pool with a wooden deck and bar.
The wellness side is the real draw: a COMO Shambhala centre with Chakra Healing and Javanese Royal Lulur treatments, a yoga pavilion looking over the jungle, and multi-day Active, Sleep, Cleanse or Beauty programmes rather than a single spa menu. The hotel also runs free guided walks through the surrounding village, useful if you'd rather explore with someone who knows the paths.
It is not a walk-to-town hotel. A free shuttle covers the ride into downtown Ubud in about five minutes, and the Neka Art Museum is close enough to reach on foot, but the market and restaurant strip are a short ride away, not a stroll. Expect steps across the hillside site, no lift, and geckos and frogs after dark — normal for a jungle valley, not a flaw. Meal plan varies by rate.
Second visit just as good as first. Facility, staff and food excellent Special mention to Summer for his friendliness and amazing service.
— Leaving.
Pool was nice and they didn’t charge me for the massage after I complained about the steam room not working and massage being terrible.
— In breakfast, they served rotten yoghurt which could have compromised guests health; hotel published activities that didn’t take place and also mentioned that they don’t have a guide for me or can’t arrange one. The spa was the worst with steam room not functioning properly and will burn you in 2 mins and they said they don’t have ability to adjust temperature - they can just switch on or off the steam. Massage was terrible by the therapist. I did not enjoy my stay there and felt it was over priced and definitely not a property for solo person
Immersed in nature - Balianese details
No. The hotel isn't designated adults-only and describes itself as kid-friendly, though the quiet valley setting and wellness focus suit couples more than young families.
There's no beach here — it's a river-valley hotel above the Tjampuhan Valley and Oos River. A shared garden pool serves the smaller rooms, and villas from Garden Pool Villa up have their own plant-rimmed pool.
About 1 hour 15 minutes by car. Meal plan varies by rate, and airport transfers are arranged separately from the room booking.
Garden Pool Villa is the best-value villa with its own pool; Terrace Room is the cheaper pick if you're happy sharing the garden pool instead.
Not much. A free shuttle reaches downtown Ubud in about 5 minutes, and the Neka Art Museum is within walking distance, but the main market and restaurant strip are a short ride, not a stroll.

At 85 square metres it's the smallest category with its own plant-rimmed pool, the feature COMO Uma Ubud is built around, on the same hillside as the larger Uma and Como villas above it.
Value pick:Terrace Room — 64 m², no private pool, but a valley-facing terrace and access to the shared garden pool for less.
The free shuttle is the easiest way out of the valley: restaurants, shops and the market are here, not at the hotel gate.
A grass ridge between two river valleys; guests staying outside central Ubud drive or scooter to the trailhead near Warwick Ibah rather than walk.
The open rice-field view this jungle-valley hotel doesn't have. Go early, before the tour buses and the heat.
