Rudra Sahashrara Bali - Ayurvedic - Health and Wellness Resort

We have traveled a lot and seen many hotels but Rudra is really Amazing. This New hotel is situated just outside Ubud Centre in the middle of the nature with great views. The design of the hotel is Amazing, very colourful. Rooms are spacious with comfy beds and fantastic views. Swimming pool area is good for relaxing or dipping in the pool. Restaurant Food and drinks are great. The Ayurvedic Spa is perfect. The massages we did were the best we ever had. Personell is friendly and helpfull. We really recommend this Hidden gem.

My friend and I, two Americans in our mid/late 20s, did a 6-day Ayurvedic retreat here and overall had a fantastic experience. While the rooms themselves are basic and nothing memorable, they were clean, and the retreat grounds (the pool, lobby, restaurant, yoga room, etc) were beautiful and well-designed. The two elements of this retreat that were exceptional in my view were the ayurvedic consultations and the food. We had daily consultations with Dr. Arun, the ayurvedic doctor, and found him to be kind and knowledgeable. It was clear to me by the end of the retreat that he deeply cares about his patients' wellbeing, as he even took the time to speak with a family member on the phone about their health and provide his advice. The food was also top notch. I grew up eating homemade Indian vegetarian food and find that I have a higher bar than most of my friends for Indian restaurants; despite the doctor's ayurvedic constraints (i.e. minimal spice levels, oil, etc), we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Chef Arvind was personable and went out of his way to connect with us and check that we were happy. The daily ayurvedic treatments were fine - the massage therapists were kind and hospitable, though I didn't find the treatments to be exceptional. In terms of areas for improvement, given that the grounds are a healing oasis (there is no caffeine, alcohol, junk food, etc), I was surprised to see some folks on the grounds smoking cigarettes on a few occasions - I think the retreat should be advertised as such or be a nonsmoking premise. Additionally, one massage therapist was consistently coughing but did not wear a mask at any point including during the treatments, or ideally she should've been subbed out for someone who wasn't sick given the purpose of the retreat is healing. All in all, we had a lovely experience, and would recommend this retreat to anyone looking to detox, recharge, and improve their health. The owners made us feel welcome albeit a bit uncomfortable at times - a warm introduction certainly goes the extra mile but it got to be a bit much by the last day. They always say the best hospitality is when guests feel well taken care of and comfortable while also feeling the space to explore and not watched. We'd encourage the owners to trust that the quality of the retreat, particularly the beautifully designed grounds, and excellent doctor and chef, speak for itself.

My wife and I visited this restaurant which is quite new in Ubud. The food and the service were wonderful. The chef is from India, and his skills are outstanding. The biryani rice with vegetables was truly outstanding, not oily at all, and the dosa was as good as we enjoyed on a recent trip to India. The chef was happy to explain the sources of the food and is proud of what he is doing here After lunch we were given a tour of the hotel rooms and the spa area. It is all very professionally done, really beautiful, and just like top quality places in India. In their spa, they specialize in Ayurvedic treatments as well as normal massage treatments. Highly recommended.

We recently stayed at this magnificent hotel and, although the rooms are new, spacious and spotlessly clean, and the pool is magnificent, our overall experience was somewhat disappointing. The welcome at reception was unfortunately cold and impersonal, far from the usual warm Balinese hospitality. What's more, although the rooms are very spacious, they lack storage space, which makes it difficult to get organised. Our biggest disappointment was the breakfast, which was exclusively Indian and vegan, with no other options. Although we appreciate the culinary diversity, the lack of choice outside of Indian cuisine meant that it wasn't even possible to have coffee... This was particularly surprising and it would have been good to know this before booking.
