The hype
Reviewers are obsessed with the 'magical' jungle setting and the staff's warmth, often calling it a sanctuary.
Blue Karma Dijiwa Ubud
$130-220/ nuit
Réservez si You want a 'jungle treehouse' vibe that feels miles from civilization but is actually just a 10-minute shuttle from Ubud center.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- The 'Flying Bamboo' spa is visually stunning and set right in the jungle canopy
- Complimentary yoga and pilates classes (Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri) in a beautiful open-air shala
- Botanist restaurant serves genuinely excellent plant-forward food (with meat options too)
En bref : It’s a humid, stair-heavy jungle retreat where you will definitely hear your neighbors through the bamboo walls, but the infinity pool views make you forgive it.
Évalué par @PassportAndStamps: I’ve never stayed anywhere quite like this. Waking up wrapped in a duvet on the terrace net, listening to the jungle come alive, was pure magic. It’s the perfect spot to just hide away with your partner and forget reality exists for a few days.
Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit
Reality check
The 'One Bedroom Suite' is actually just a studio room, and some guests found the split-level layout in certain rooms inconvenient.
- You love the idea of sleeping in a high-end treehouse
- You want daily yoga and healthy food without being in a strict 'retreat' camp
- You appreciate a smaller, boutique feel (only ~15 rooms)
Propreté et entretien
9
- Housekeeping: Excellent daily service. Staff even do a 'turndown' service with mood lighting.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally spotless, though the open-air design means you might spot nature (ants/geckos) or slight weathering on stone.
- Maintenance: Good condition, though bamboo/wood structures show age faster than concrete. Some reports of 'bed curtains' needing a wash.
- Linens & towels: High quality, fresh, and generous. Mosquito nets are kept in good repair.
- Odors & scents: Mostly fresh jungle air, though humidity can cause a faint musty scent in rainy season if windows are left shut.

Avant de réserver
Bon à savoir
- The shuttle to Ubud Center is available but 'on request'—confirm availability 30 mins in advance.
- Breakfast is a mix of a small buffet (fruit/pastries) and high-quality a la carte mains.
- You are in the jungle: dampness is real. Keep your suitcase zipped to avoid moisture/bugs.
Quoi emporter
- Mosquito repellent (essential for the open-air bathroom)
- Slip-on shoes for easy on/off at the yoga shala and spa
- Earplugs if you are a light sleeper (roosters don't have a snooze button)
Génie des chambres
Meilleurs choix
- One Bedroom Villa with Hammock: Best for the 'jungle immersion' vibe and privacy.
- Private Pool Villa: Worth the upgrade if you want to skinny dip without an audience.
Chambres à éviter
- One Bedroom Suite: It's the entry-level room, often split-level (stairs inside the room) and lacks the 'villa' charm.
- Rooms near the reception if you want to avoid foot traffic noise.

FAQ et astuces cachées
Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.
Is there a free shuttle to Ubud center?
Yes, there is a shuttle service to Ubud Central. It typically runs on a schedule or on request; verify the exact times at the front desk upon arrival.
Is the yoga free?
Yes, for guests there are complimentary yoga classes on Mondays and Fridays, and Pilates on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Are the bathrooms private?
Yes, but many are 'semi-open' to the outdoors. You have privacy walls, but the air (and sounds) flow freely.
Is it walkable to restaurants?
Sort of. 'Bebek Uma Dawa' is practically next door and 'Café Bintang' is a 5-minute walk, but for the main Ubud dining scene, you'll need a ride.
Do the rooms have AC?
Yes, the bedrooms are air-conditioned and enclosed with mosquito nets, but bathrooms and living areas may be open-air.
Is it adults-only?
No, but the vibe is very adult-centric. The deep pool and steep stairs make it less ideal for young kids.
Conseils d'initiés
- ✨
Ask for a 'floating breakfast' in your private pool (or the main pool) for the ultimate Instagram shot—it's an extra charge but well executed here.
- ✨
The 'Bebek Uma Dawa' restaurant next door is a hidden gem for crispy duck if you want a break from the hotel's health food.
- ✨
Book your spa treatments *before* you arrive; the Flying Bamboo Spa is popular with non-guests too.
5 choses à savoir avant de partir
💡The 'Suite' is not really a suite; it's a studio layout.
💡The lighting in the rooms is very 'moody' (dim)—great for romance, bad for applying makeup.
💡You might find a frog in your shower. It's harmless, just say hello.
💡The walk to the room can be a mini-hike; don't bring massive rolling trunks if you can avoid it.
💡The 'afternoon tea' is often just a small slice of cake, not a full high-tea spread.
