The hype
Travelers universally adore the staff and the peaceful garden setting, often calling it a 'sanctuary' in the heart of Ubud.
The White Villas Ubud
$85-130 / nacht
Boek dit als You want a private, white-washed sanctuary that feels miles away from the chaos but is actually just a 10-minute walk from Ubud Palace.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Breakfast served daily on your private terrace (no buffet lines)
- The 'hidden oasis' vibe on quiet Jalan Sandat
- Staff who treat you like family (shoutout to Putu and Adi)
Snel Overzicht: It’s a charming, intimate garden villa complex, not a sprawling 5-star resort, so expect roosters for alarm clocks and the occasional gecko as a roommate.
Beoordeeld door @juliathetraveler: I stayed in this villa during the green season and it was incredibly peaceful. Waking up to the sound of rain on the leaves and having coffee on that private terrace was the highlight of my trip. It felt like my own secret hideaway in Ubud.

Reality check
The 'jungle tax' is real — some guests report ants in the bathroom or lizards on the ceiling, which is standard for Ubud but shocking if you're expecting a sealed glass box.
- You hate big hotel buffets and prefer breakfast in your pajamas on a balcony
- You want to walk to dinner but sleep in silence
- You prefer a small, personalized boutique feel over a generic chain
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
9.2
- Housekeeping: Daily and attentive. Guests consistently praise the staff for keeping the white floors clean.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally excellent, though some outdoor/semi-outdoor bathroom elements can attract ants.
- Maintenance: Good condition, though the 'all-white' paint job requires constant upkeep and may show minor scuffs.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and clean, though humidity can sometimes make them feel less crisp than a city hotel.
- Odors & scents: Fresh garden air; no complaints of mustiness despite the humid climate.

Voordat je boekt
Goed om te weten
- Breakfast is 'cooked to order' and brought to your room, not a buffet.
- The pool is lovely but not huge — think 'dip and chill' rather than 'olympic laps'.
- Airport transfer is available but usually costs extra; Grab/Gojek works in Ubud but pick-up points can be tricky.
Wat je mee moet nemen
- Earplugs (for the roosters)
- Mosquito repellent (essential for terrace sitting)
- Slip-on shoes (standard Bali villa etiquette)

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is there a gym on site?
No. Some third-party sites list a 'tennis court' or 'gym' but this is incorrect. The nearest proper gym is Ubud Fitness Center.
Do they serve floating breakfast?
Not as a standard menu item, but they serve a fantastic breakfast on your private terrace. You can ask staff if a pool setup is possible, but don't bank on it.
Is it walkable to the Monkey Forest?
Yes, but it's a bit of a trek (about 20-25 minutes). It's much closer to the Ubud Palace and Market (10 minutes).
Are the rooms bug-free?
Mostly, but not 100%. It's an open garden villa concept. You will likely see ants or a gecko. It's part of the charm (or horror, depending on you).
Is the pool private?
Most villas share the main infinity pool, though it rarely feels crowded due to the small number of rooms.
Can I get a massage at the hotel?
Yes, they can arrange in-room massages, but there isn't a dedicated spa building.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Ask for the 'Indonesian Breakfast' option — guests rave about the Nasi Goreng over the western eggs.
- ✨
There is a laundry shop directly across the street that is cheap and fast if you don't want to pay hotel prices.
- ✨
The walk to town is safe, but the sidewalks are uneven — leave the heels at home.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'white' aesthetic is beautiful but shows dirt easily; maintenance is good, but you might spot some wear.
💡The 'Garden Lounge' is more of a breakfast spot than a buzzing dinner venue.
💡You might get a visit from a friendly neighborhood cat.
💡The TV channels are limited, but you didn't come to Ubud to watch CNN.
💡The air conditioning is strong, but because of the high ceilings in some villas, it can take a moment to cool down the whole room.
