Villa Simone in Ubud is the kind of luxury rental that makes you put your phone down, because the view is already doing the scrolling for you. The villa looks clean and modern, but it still feels very Bali with warm textures, woven details, and lots of greenery right at the edges of the space.
What really sells it is the jungle outlook, especially around golden hour when the treetops light up and the pool turns into a mirror. It’s a calm, grown-up base for a family holiday, yet it still has that “let’s stay one more night” energy that Ubud does so well.
Villa Simone has three bedrooms, and they all lean into that calm, sandy-toned style that makes jet lag behave. Expect big, inviting beds with layered pillows, soft throws, and cute design touches like woven pendant lights and sculptural decor that looks collected, not staged.
Each room feels properly private, with large glass doors opening to garden paths or leafy views, so you wake up to green instead of traffic. The setup is great for a family or a small group on a holiday in Ubud, since everyone gets their own quiet corner to recharge, read, and actually sleep in.
The outdoor area at Villa Simone is the headline act, with a curved swimming pool that seems to spill into the jungle canopy. There are in-pool loungers for peak relaxation, plus a shaded daybed nook that’s basically made for afternoon naps and post-dip snack breaks.
Everything is framed by tropical plants and clean stone terraces, so it feels polished but still very Ubud. Add a pool umbrella for sun control and you’ve got a seriously easygoing luxury setup for a family rental, especially when sunset turns the whole view into a warm, golden show.
Inside Villa Simone, the vibe is open, breezy, and designed for people who like hanging out together without feeling on top of each other. The living area has a big, comfy sofa, low tables, and wide openings that pull the pool and jungle view straight into the room.
Meals are easy here, thanks to the fully equipped kitchen with a sleek island and an oven for proper cooking, not just toast-and-hope. The dining table is set up for long breakfasts and lingering dinners, and the Wi-Fi is there when you need it, even if Ubud keeps tempting you back outside.
This is a luxury holiday rental that still feels nicely human, because there’s a visible team presence and it shows in the little details. You’ll have housekeeping to keep things fresh, and a villa manager on hand to help the stay run smoothly, so your main job is deciding pool time versus nap time.
One standout: the dedicated spa room with two massage beds, a calm little hideaway for proper reset mode after exploring Ubud. If you want extra help planning, the Villa Finder Concierge can assist with things like airport transfers, car rental, and other local holiday services, then you can get back to doing nothing very well at Villa Simone.
Villa Simone puts you close to the best of Ubud without giving up the peaceful, green setting. For an easy caffeine mission, Hary's Cafe is only 117 m away, meaning you can be back at the pool before your coffee cools down.
When you’re ready to explore, you’re within reach of Tibumana Waterfall (3.2 km) for a nature hit, and the Ubud Street Market (4.6 km) for shopping and people-watching. Keep the evening casual with local bites like Warung Babi Guling Pande Egi (3.4 km), then head back to your Ubud family rental where the jungle view is still the main event. Set in the heart of Ubud, the villa is surrounded by lush jungle, where you may occasionally encounter lizards and other small tropical wildlife as part of its natural surroundings.
10/10Everything was great, the staff is super friendly, and a really great villa. I would gladly come back again to Villa Simone when I'm back in Bali.
