Amala Villas Ubud

9.6/10

Peaceful, relaxing & very chilled sums it up at the Villa as a result of great house / pool , fantastic staff and service. This was our first experience of having staff on site , nothing was ever too much bother for Murda (spelt wrong!) and his team , they were attentive and very friendly at all times without being intrusive. It was like being in your own 5* boutique hotel in the middle of a beautiful jungle / rice field location - breath-taking. The food prepared was always 1st class. We had the car(s) and drivers provided by Amala , led by the knowledgeable , reliable and friendly 'Made'. We were about a 15-20 minute (trafficcy but interesting) drive journey by car from the villa to central Ubud, which was a bustling , colourful and fun place to eat and shop. Made took us on excusrions for White Water rafting , Monkey Forest, Elephant Sanctuary and Arts and Crafts galleries , all of which were great fun and interesting. I hardly ever write reviews , but am moved to on this occasions because we all felt it was such a special and magical experience . The weather could have kinder , but if was fine and to be honest , you would be missing great opportunities if you just sat by the (fantastic ) 20m pool all day. We were a group that required 2 double bedrooms 5 singles , which meant converting the Library and TV room into bedrooms. Whilst these were absolutely fine with aircon and en suite bathrooms , they were not to the high standards of the other rooms, but we knew that going in . We would definitely return.

Villa Amala is absolutely gorgeous. In a stunning setting amongst ricefields and river bank forest. Very peaceful but still a short (10-15 min) drive into Ubud. The decor is stunning; all rooms were lovely with fantastic bathrooms. Our staff were unobtrusive and efficient. The food was excellent - ingredients bought and prepared by cook and very inexpensive. Our driver and his brother who provide extra car (we were 2 families so 11 people) were excellent and found us the best places to eat when we were out. Highly recommend it.
