The hype
Travelers are blown away by the views and the kindness of the staff, often calling it a 'hidden gem' that rivals much more expensive resorts.
Seres Springs Resort And Spa
$130-250 / nat
Bestil hvis You want a 5-star jungle sanctuary with rice paddy views that feels miles away from the Ubud chaos but is still just a free shuttle ride away.
Hvorfor folk elsker det
- The natural spring soaking pool fed by the Wos River is a refreshing, spiritual dip
- Santara and Ananda Villas offer private pools and insane jungle views for a fraction of the price of big-name luxury chains
- Dead silent at night—no scooters, just crickets and the river
Hurtig oversigt: A stunningly peaceful retreat that traps you in its luxury because you literally cannot walk to anything else.
Anmeldt af @JennHunter5864433: I stayed here to disconnect and honestly, waking up to that rice field view was therapeutic. The infinity pool right below feels like you're swimming in the jungle. Just a heads up: the glass bathroom means zero privacy, so bring someone you're close with! 🌿✨

Reality check
You will feel isolated; the shuttle runs on a schedule, and if you miss it, you're paying a premium for a local taxi to get into town.
- You plan to spend 80% of your time relaxing by the pool or in the spa
- You want the 'Eat Pray Love' rice field aesthetic without the crowds
- You are comfortable renting a scooter to get around independently

Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips
Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.
Is the natural spring pool hot?
No, it is fresh river water and quite cool/refreshing, perfect for hot days but not a thermal hot spring.
Can I walk to Ubud center?
Absolutely not. It is a 4-5km drive on narrow, winding roads with no sidewalks. Do not attempt to walk it.
Does Grab/Gojek work here?
Drop-offs are fine. Pick-ups are difficult to impossible due to local bans; you will likely need to use the hotel's transport or a private driver to leave.
Is there a resort fee?
No specific daily resort fee was found, but a 21% tax and service charge is standard in Bali and added to all bills.
What is the breakfast like?
A large buffet at Mulberry Place with Indonesian, Western, and egg station options. Coffee is local Robusta.
Is it good for families?
Yes, there is a kids' club and a children's pool, but the vibe is definitely more quiet/romantic than high-energy family fun.
Insidertips
- ✨
Book a 'Floating Breakfast' in advance if you have a pool access room or villa—it's the classic Bali photo op.
- ✨
The hotel offers a 'purification ritual' at the natural spring; ask the concierge to arrange it for a cultural experience without the crowds of Tirta Empul.
- ✨
If you need a ride and don't want to pay hotel rates, walk 10 minutes up the road (away from the taxi stand) to try booking a Grab, though success varies.
5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted
💡The 'natural spring' pool is actually fed by the Wos River and is spiritually significant to locals.
💡You might spot monkeys near the river edge of the property (keep your balcony door locked).
💡The Italian restaurant, Bell'Aria, has a wood-fired oven and is surprisingly legit for a jungle resort.
💡Power outages can happen (it's Bali), but the hotel has generators.
💡The humidity here is higher than on the coast; clothes take forever to dry on the balcony.
