Vije Boutique Resort & Spa Ubud
$100-250/ night
Book this if You want a quiet, jungle-edge sanctuary that feels like a private estate but don't mind taking a shuttle to reach the Ubud action.
Why People Love It
- Intimate boutique vibe with only ~20 rooms
- Stunning infinity pool overlooking the Bentuyung river valley
- Genuine Balinese hospitality from staff like Made and Ardy
Quick Take: A beautiful jungle hideaway that's slightly too far to walk to dinner, but the silence (mostly) makes up for it.
Reviewed by @JadeMorand4964753: I stayed here for a few nights and the peace is unreal. Having breakfast on my balcony while staring at the jungle was the best way to start the day. The room feels huge but cozy, especially that bathtub setup. Highly recommend for a recharge.

Insider Tips
- ✨
Ask for a 'floating breakfast' in your private pool for a small extra fee—it's the classic Bali photo op.
- ✨
The hotel is near Naughty Nuri's (famous ribs), but you'll still want a ride there rather than walking the dark road at night.
- ✨
Book a spa treatment at Vije Spa during 'Happy Hour' if they are running a promo (often 10-20% off).
5 things to know before you go
💡The 'Jungle View' can sometimes just mean 'facing a lot of trees across a small road' rather than deep wilderness.
💡The bathroom lighting is moody and romantic, which means it's terrible for applying makeup.
💡You might spot monkeys in the trees—keep your balcony doors locked when you aren't there.
💡The shuttle drops you off at a central point, but the walk back to the pickup point can be hot; time it carefully.
💡There is no elevator, so be prepared for stairs if you are not on the ground floor.
