HOSHINOYA Bali

Finally got the chance to stay in this Japanese hotel in Ubud, impressive garden landscape facing the forest, nice nature with very relax calming stay. Breakfast was well prepared , dinner as well . Worth the visit .

The Hoshinoya brand is consistently impressive in thoughtful service and amazing facilities. This Bali resort is no exception. The staff are friendly and professional, always making you feel taken care of. The hotel is a bit out of the way, far from the airport and a short drive even from the shopping and dining in Ubud, but you don’t miss it at all. The property is beautiful and constantly being tidied and maintained. All of the villas are laid out along the three pools at the resort, so it’s a few steps to get into the water from any room in the hotel and the pools have a private feel because of the lush greenery along the entire length of the pool. Overall the experience is defined by tranquility. The rooms have no TV, so you are really unplugged and set for a restful and relaxing stay. Spending an afternoon or evening by the pool is to slip into a peaceful jungle with no sounds except the bird, insects and gurgle of the pool. It’s all too easy to fall asleep on the large outdoor sofas after a swim. The food is a mix of local, western and Japanese options, all of which are delicious and well-presented. The restaurant overlooks a lush valley and you have options to dine in an enclosed glass room, in the open air dining room or even in the birdcages protruding out over the valley below. Having been to Bali a few times and seen the hustle and bustle of the beachside, getting away to a peaceful retreat in the jungle was a breath of fresh air.
