Best Adults-Only Stays in Ubud

Mandalore Villas Ubud is an adults-only resort, so families with children cannot book it, and I would rather say so plainly than suggest otherwise. For parents travelling without the kids, it offers private pool villas with balconies and views over the rice fields, an infinity pool, spa facilities and lush gardens. Yoga classes and cycling are available for active mornings. With 9.8 from 23 reviews, the score is exceptional for a romantic break in Ubud.

Villa Sabandari is adults-only, so it is not a choice for families travelling with children. I mention it for parents planning a break on their own in Ubud: the setting among rice fields is quiet, the infinity pool and the spa make for slow afternoons, and each room has a private terrace. The free shuttle to and from Ubud centre removes the need for a car, and Ubud Palace is a short drive away for an evening out.

The Studios Ubud is adults-only, so it is not an option for a family with children. It is an elegant aparthotel with a swimming pool, a lush garden and a terrace, near Ubud Palace and Saraswati Temple. Each unit has a fully equipped kitchen, a private bathroom, a seating area, a minibar, a microwave and a private balcony with river views, and Wi-Fi is free. Guests rate it 9.8 across more than 140 reviews.

Kano Sari Ubud Villas is an adults-only property, so it is not an option for families travelling with children. I mention it here for parents planning a trip on their own: the spacious air-conditioned rooms, the outdoor pool and the quiet setting make it a good place to rest. Ubud Market and the Royal Palace are a short drive away, and the Sacred Monkey Forest is nearby for a morning walk without little ones.

Utopia Concept Bali is adults only, so it is not suited to families with children and I would not book it for one. For adult travellers it offers an infinity pool overlooking lush gardens, a sun terrace, and a restaurant and bar. Rooms have garden or mountain views, air-conditioning and private bathrooms, with free WiFi in public areas and private parking on site. About 90 guests rate it 9.5.

The Craft Hotel Ubud is adults-only, so families travelling with children cannot stay here, and I prefer to state that clearly. Parents planning a trip on their own will find a four-star hotel with an infinity pool, spa facilities and lush gardens. Rooms are air-conditioned, with balconies, private bathrooms, bathrobes and minibars, and the modern restaurant and bar keep evenings simple. Free private parking helps with a driver. It scores 9.4 from 57 reviews.

Cahaya Indah Villas is a five-star, adults-only retreat in Ubud with private pool villas and rice field views. A swimming pool with a view, a sun terrace and a lush garden complete the setting, and the resort offers a wellness centre and yoga classes. Villas include kitchenettes and minibars. A 9.2 rating from 220 reviews supports its appeal for quiet, romantic stays.

Rana Suite is an adults-only inn in Ubud with an infinity pool, spa facilities and a lush garden. Free WiFi, an open-air bath and several relaxing spaces add to the stay. Air-conditioned rooms have private bathrooms, a kitchen, a TV and a work desk, and a minimarket and coffee shop are on site. It is near the Blanco Museum. A 9.0 rating from 16 reviews is promising but thin.
