This little gem is situated on beautifully maintained grounds filled with tropical plants, koi ponds, and moss-covered stone walkways. The open-air lobby isn't much of a lobby, but it's charming and quirky welcome, with a couple of chairs and a cushioned bamboo settee where guests can hang out and enjoy the gorgeous setting. There's also a massage table here and a refrigerator with cold drinks. Balinese statues stand guard. Adjacent is a thatch-roofed pavilion that serves as the dining area, though guests are prone to hanging out here as well. The atmosphere at Inang Ubud is peaceful, serene, and super-relaxing. It appeals to travelers looking to get away from the city and enjoy nature in a quiet, pastoral setting. Couples, families, and groups all make their way here. This hotel is situated in a serene rural setting overlooking rice fields and coconut trees, about a 10-minute drive north of the center of Ubud. Access is relatively easy, although there are a few bumpy roads along the way. There's not much else in the immediate area, but the hotel provides a shuttle into Ubud until relatively late in the evening. #createwithtrip #staycation

The Tegalalang Rice Terraces are located in a small village in the popular rainforest region of Ubud in central Bali. This makes it easy to put a visit to the Tegalalang Rice Terrace on everyone’s Bali itinerary. You can combine a visit the the Tegalalang Rice Terraces with many other to go places in Ubud. It’s also important that you realize that the terraces will look different during each season. You will have the best circumstances just before the rice is harvested, which is usually around March-early April and September-October. But if you want to be sure that the Tegalalang rice terraces are green, have a look at instagram on the location stories or ask a fellow traveler in Ubud if it’s worth it to go. When the rice has just been harvested, the Tegalalang rice terraces are mud pools. That takes away the charm of visiting one of the most beautiful spot on Bali. So know when to visit! #createwithtrip

Set in a quiet artist's village, Gajah Biru was converted from a private residence, helping to give the collection of buildings and bungalows an intimate, humble vibe. Palm trees, shrubs, and flowers create a lush and inviting setting. Balinese statuary dots the grounds and there are several outdoor sitting areas. There's not much in the way of action here, but the main swimming pool serves as a bit of a social hub. Still, given pool's small size and limited seating, the atmosphere around stays quiet. The hotel's style is rustic and traditional, with thatched ceilings and lots of stone, plus a few artsy details, like the unicycle stools at the front desk. Welcoming touches include a glass of fresh watermelon juice at arrival.The hotel draws mostly couples with its private and romantic setting, pool, and quiet location in charming Penestanan. There are no kid-specific amenities, but families benefit from the big rooms. #createwithtrip #staycation

This charming upscale boutique hotel features light and airy interiors and outrageously gorgeous grounds teeming with lush greenery and soothing water features. Paths wind through tunnels of green and lead around the well-maintained grounds. Peaked thatched roofs and open-air architecture allow the outdoors in, while interior decor is a mix of beachy rattan furniture and elegant details like Persian rugs on stone floors, antique pieces, and chandeliers. Clientele is mainly composed of couples, and it certainly makes for a romantic vacation, but families are also catered to here and are attracted by the spacious private villas with pools. One of the highlights here is the beautiful outdoor pool, an infinity-edge that overlooks the jungle canopy and is surrounded by an attractive wooden sundeck lined with plush padded sunbeds and skirted in greenery and colorful potted flowers. Floating padded loungers encourage guests to relax in the water. #createwithtrip #staycation

Dwaraka The Royal Villas is a small, romantic, and upscale property situated on lush, tropical grounds.

Dwaraka The Royal Villas is located in a quiet neighborhood in the northern outskirts of Ubud, an inland town known for its numerous artists and spas, thriving New Age expat community, yoga studios, and health food restaurants.

Pajar House features two distinct settings: Standard and Deluxe Rooms are located in a traditional Balinese compound in a rural village setting and the suites and villas located in a remote natural setting with pristine rice field views. Both the village and rice field locations feel far removed from the bustle of downtown Ubud and temperatures are also cooler due to a higher elevation level than Ubud and a constant breeze blowing off the rice fields. The family run hotel has a laid-back ambience and a distinctly Balinese aesthetic with traditional stylings and architectural features like red brick facades, intricately carved wood and stone features and statues, natural stone walls, and manicured tropical gardens. The hotel is popular with families and couples. Pajar House Ubud has limited facilities. The biggest draw is the serene and tranquil ambience, and the gorgeous natural surroundings. The hotel offers free daily guided rice field treks. Rooms are spread out along three compounds, each of which features an outdoor swimming pool. The villa compound has a large infinity edged swimming pool, which is surrounded by rice fields and tropical greenery, plus the deck has plenty of lounge chairs. #createwithtrip #staycation

Set amid thick jungle and placed beside a creek, Bali Spirit Hotel conjures up the feel of the old Ubud: it's quiet, serene, and has a somewhat spiritual vibe. The grounds are beautiful, with moss-covered stone carvings on walls, statues of birds and animals peeking from behind lush tropical plants, and traditional architecture that draws heavily on thatched roofs, indoor/outdoor spaces, and lots of wood and stone accents.The overall feel of the Bali Spirit is quaint and cute, but as is the case with many similar properties in the area, the hotel is starting to look a little run down. We spotted damaged wood in the restaurant and broken statues in the garden -- but the weathered touches were somehow more charming than off-putting. The spa, though, with its dated yellow tiles and basic facilities, is in need of an update. Most of the guests we encountered during our stay were middle-aged European and Australian couples, and they tended to spend the day out exploring the area. Both pools were quiet and relaxing throughout the day, and we could hear birds chirping on surrounding trees. Some of the guests came back to the hotel before sunset to take a dip in the pool, but most only returned after dinner. The hotel's setting on the side of a mountain is picturesque, but it may be challenging for travelers with mobility issues. #createwithtrip #staycation

Jungle Retreat is located in the outskirts of Ubud, tucked away in a rain forest area just off the main Raya Kedewatan I Road. It's about a 10-minute drive to the main market and the Saraswati Temple and a few minutes further to the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary. This intimate hotel is situated in a quiet, lush location with lots of trees and tropical plants spread across the grounds. Reception takes place in a large, semi-open lobby filled with ornate carvings and bas reliefs and topped with a traditional woven roof. The resort is on the large side, and while most travelers can get around easily enough on foot (it's usually no more than a five-minutes walk from rooms to the reception area), the hotel provides golf cart rides for getting luggage and guests to rooms, as needed. The hotel is most suited to vacationing couples, though families do stay here owing to the larger rooms and villas. #createwithtrip #staycation

One of the hotel's best qualities is the serene and tranquil atmosphere. Built along a river and jungle valley, the soundtrack throughout the hotel is the constant flow of the river and sounds of nature. The grounds are beautifully manicured with tropical plants, palm trees, and meandering stone pathways lined with greenery that lead to the different facilities and rooms. Most guests hang out around one of the two outdoor swimming pools during the day. The valley pool sits in a stunning setting right along the jungle valley overlooking the river. Kinara Restaurant is housed in a traditional Javanese wooden joglo, and features nice modern interior decorated with vintage photographs and intricate wood carvings. Thanks to high ceilings and open walls, all sides the restaurant have great airflow and plenty of light. Most guests here are couples on a romantic holiday. Location wise, the hotel is ideally situated. It's positioned on the small and quiet cobblestoned Bisma Street, which sits adjacent to Ubud's busiest locale, Monkey Forest Street. The area has a relaxed atmosphere and is much less developed than downtown Ubud. #createwithtrip #staycation

The outskirts of Ubud are the stuff of legend, with scenery that never fails to impress. So expectations are justifiably high for the many villa properties that ring the city. Thankfully, Black Penny Villas lives up to most expectations. The main draws for guests staying here are the serene and tranquil ambience, the ultra-private villas, and the amazing views of the jungle valley and Ayung River. A combination of the constant soundtrack made by the river rapids and the endless green scenery create a soothing and peaceful setting that's conducive to deep relaxation. However, travelers preferring a more active vacation will find that the hotel has little to offer. Facilities on-site are limited to just a small restaurant. There is no communal swimming pool or proper spa, but in-room spa treatments are offered and each villa is equipped with a private plunge pool. Black Penny makes a good choice for romantic getaways, and families with young children should probably look elsewhere. The property is perched along a steep cliffside with long flights of winding stairs. #createwithtrip #staycation

The Bambu Indah, meaning beautiful bamboo, is an upper-mid-range resort that feels like a historic Indonesian village, overlooking beautiful rice paddies. Flat stone pathways meander through the large eco-friendly property, made with Javanese teak wood constructed over 100 years ago. Founded by John Hardy Jewelry owners, John and Cynthia, who live on the adjacent property, the resort was created to remain in harmony with the natural surroundings. They also founded the well-known Green School. The husband-and-wife team, who met in the 1980s, have a personal connection to the property, having raised their children on the land. Natural designs, sustainable facilities, and eco-friendly operations limit the resort’s environmental impact. The lobby is one-of-a-kind thatched dome within a bamboo structure. The grounds, however, are dimly lit to limit environmental light pollution, and guests are given flashlights to get around at night. #createwithtrip #staycation

Tucked in the jungle on the outskirts of Ubud, the Bidadari Private Villas & Retreat - Ubud offers a tranquil and luxurious refuge on a small property that allows staff to provide each guest with personal attention. Stone steps wind through the lush forest grounds, with lava rock walls that feature intricate high relief carvings. The Bidadari, Indonesian for "heavenly angel," was designed by architects Nyoman Miyoga and Mande Sudarta. The resort was built in 2006 and features a cobblestone driveway that leads to a small thatched-roof lobby, decorated in wood carvings and traditional Balinese furniture. A lounge offers floor cushions beside a chessboard, books on loan, and a display case with jewelry, beauty products, and souvenirs for sale. Mostly couples stay at the hotel, which offers the Bunga Matahari Spa. Treatment rooms have soaking tubs facing large windows that overlook the lush valley below. There’s also a lava rock terrace, with cushy lounge chairs, and an open-air nail salon. #createwithtrip #staycation

The Elephant Safari Park & Lodge was founded in 1997 by England-born Nigel Mason, who rescued nine mistreated elephants that were living on a rice field in Bali. The English businessman then transported 18 more rescue elephants from Sumatra to the park, which has since hosted visits from celebrities like David Beckham, Jessica Biel, and Julia Roberts. Two double wooden doors at the park entrance (visitors can also come for day tours) lead into the property that’s adorned with elephant statues and carvings. There are beautiful rice paddy views and a botanical garden that has fishponds, patio seating, and canopy beds. Staying at the lodge offers a unique experience where guests can interact with a herd of 31 endangered Sumatran elephants. A line of elephant chauffeurs, with their manhout (rider/trainer), take guests from their doorsteps every night to dinner. Some guests complain, however, about elephants being chained for certain times of the day (elephant rides are controversial animal attractions). Guests can ride elephants while they bathe in a pool, watch an elephant talent show, or visit a museum that features a 15,000-year-old mammoth skeleton. The large gift shop sells elephant souvenirs, clothing, and jewelry. There’s also a photo shop to capture guests riding elephants. #createwithtrip #staycation
