Samsara Ubud has the best of both worlds—close by city life and surrounded by beautiful wildlife. Although it’s a short drive from downtown Ubud, the main building has terraces that overlook the dense, verdant forests that make the Bali countryside so alluring.

This is in the northern part of Ubud, just a short distance from the rice paddies. Go for a walk to see the rice terraces and the nearby coconut plantations. If you want to see monkeys especially up close, head to the Sacred Forest to see macaques. There’s lots of space to do yoga on the grounds near of Samsara, but you can also venture downtown to see the many yoga studios.

You can focus on getting the most out of your flow in the Indoor yoga studio. Experience true zen in the outdoor yoga area in the garden. At the spa, you might try an exotic treatment—like a massage that incorporates a rolling technique with a bamboo rod, or a treatment that involves all seven of your chakras. If you want to do more than yoga, head to the fitness center for some cardio and weights. There’s a lengthy pool where you can relax in a lounger and order a fruity poolside drink.

Get ready for a busy day of romance and relaxation with the breakfast that’s included in your stay. For lunch and dinner, you can dine in the resort’s on-site Balinese restaurant. The restaurant specializes in Indonesian food.

The villas are available in four different configurations–the smallest one-bedroom villa is 1,300 square feet (122 sq m). You can also opt for a villa that comes with its own private pool. Mood lighting makes the rooms feel especially homey and you’ll find upscale amenities in the private bathrooms. Every villa has luxurious furnishings and a thoughtful design that lets in plenty of bright sunshine.

Villas have air conditioning as well as mini refrigerators in the room. Coffee and tea making facilities are nicely laid out for your enjoyment. Explore options in the minibar when you’re ready to unwind for the day. There’s Wi-Fi available throughout the resort, and each villa comes with a 42-inch flat screen TV with international channels.

The staff pays special attention to detail and are happy to attend to your every need. The villas also offer the convenience of a 24-hour butler service as well as dry cleaning and laundry service. Your room will stay immaculate under the watchful care of the daily housekeeping.
