Triyana Resort and Glamping
$25-55/ night
Book this if You want a private pool villa experience for the price of a hostel bunk, and you're comfortable with a few bugs.
Why People Love It
- Insanely affordable private pool villas
- Genuine jungle silence away from Ubud's traffic
- Instagram-ready 'glamping' aesthetic
Quick Take: A budget-friendly jungle hideaway that looks expensive on Instagram but feels a bit rough around the edges in real life.
Reviewed by @christopherwong955225: My first glamping trip and I'm obsessed! I expected bugs but got AC and breakfast in bed instead. For $60, this place is a total steal, even if the drive from Ubud is a bit long. The papaya juice alone is worth the trip!

- Glamping Suite: A solid middle ground if you don't need a pool but want more space than the basic tent.
Rooms to avoid
