Purana Suite Ubud

We recommend Purana Suite to honeymoon couples or wellness retreats who want Ubud without paying the price of iconic addresses (Hanging Gardens, Capella). Families appreciate the spacious suites and private pool, reassuring with young children. It's also a solid base for travellers chaining temples, artisans' workshops and hikes in the rice terraces.

Contemporary Balinese architecture, low pavilions in teak and volcanic stone scattered in a 8,000 m² tropical garden. Traditional thatched roofs (alang-alang), exposed lava stone walls, carved claustra filtering the light. The suites (between 45 and 65 m²) all open onto a terrace with private pool, solid wood furniture, semi-open bathrooms with stone bathtub. The whole dates from 2018, impeccable maintenance.

The restaurant serves Indonesian cuisine and a few Western dishes, short but well-executed menu: nasi goreng, bebek betutu (Balinese braised duck), green curries. Breakfast included with tropical fruits, fresh-pressed juices, eggs to order. Room service available 7h-22h, same menu as the restaurant. No formal bar, but cocktails and wines served on the terrace or in suite. For Ubud's big tables (Locavore, Mozaic), allow 15 minutes by car.

Purana Suite stands in Mas, sculptors' artisans' village 3 km south of Ubud centre. Quiet district, rice terraces visible from the suites, wood workshops five minutes on foot. Ubud centre (market, Royal Palace, Monkey Forest) is ten minutes by scooter or car, free shuttle offered by the hotel twice a day. Ngurah Rai Airport 1h30, winding but well-maintained road. No public transport, rent a scooter or use Grab (local Uber equivalent).
