Kastara Resort

The most beautiful hotel I’ve ever stayed at. With the forest right in front of you, it’s truly something special. It’s super quiet and feels like a safe haven right in the middle of Ubud. Walking to the city center from up there doesn’t take too long, and the route is actually very scenic and enjoyable. The spa team was excellent. We had a few massages and loved every one of them – definitely a highlight for me, to be honest. The hotel’s restaurant served some amazing dishes. We also enjoyed a Kawa dinner with the lovely Indra, who put on an incredible fire show! We absolutely adored it. We also joined the Ubud tour offered by the hotel, and our guide/driver Santika was fantastic. We had such a great time with him – he explained a lot about Balinese culture and everyday life. Thank you, Santika! You’re amazing! All in all, it’s a hotel I would definitely return to. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. Thank you dear team kastara - we had a wonderful time!

Recently stayed at this exceptional hotel and was thoroughly impressed. The room was spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable. One of the standout features was the stunning jungle view right from our room, as well as from the infinity pool. The onsite spa was another highlight, offering high-quality treatments in a serene setting. It may be more expensive than what you’d pay in other spas in Ubud but it is well worth the extra cost. A major plus: the calm, adults-only vibe (at least during my stay) — there were no kids running around and it made for a very relaxing stay. The only downside: the hotel is about a 35 minute walk to the centre of Ubud where the bulk of the restaurants are. The hotel will arrange transport for guests if you prefer not to walk, so it’s really not an issue but pointing it out here in case this affects your plans. We personally liked that the hotel was located in a more secluded, peaceful area. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a mix of luxury and tranquility 💯

Everything was absolutely perfect. The rooms are very clean. We didn’t encounter any bugs or anything negative. I must say, they’ve done an incredible job maintaining such cleanliness in the middle of a dense forest. The room’s furnishings are lovely and sufficient. The bathroom design is fantastic. You might want to watch the sunrise and sunset from the balcony—an incredible view. You can also fill the bathtub to enhance your relaxation. The food is excellent. You must try their signature breakfast; it’s perfectly balanced and healthy. The dinners and appetizers are just as delightful. In the evenings, there are music performances, all of which were wonderful. They play calm, romantic songs that perfectly match the spirit of the forest. The hotel staff is outstanding. No one can match their attentiveness and service quality. I’ve stayed at other hotels in Bali, but Kastara’s team is truly exceptional. This time, the hotel staff was incredibly helpful in organizing a very special event for me. I want to thank each of them individually—you were amazing. A special thanks to Ms. Mitra, who took such great care of us during the event evening. You are so kind and wonderful. If you’re looking for a romantic, peaceful, and perfect vacation, don’t choose anywhere else in Ubud. This place is simply fantastic! We will definitely visit again!

This lovely hotel is situated on a hillside overlooking the jungle. No built-up areas are in sight—only trees and a river at the bottom of the valley. In the mornings, the sounds of roosters, the flowing river, and the jungle are very soothing. We stayed in two types of rooms, both overlooking the jungle, each with its own unique features. One had a huge tub carved from solid rock overlooking the jungle, and the other had a private pool. Both rooms were fantastic. The rooms are beautifully decorated with handmade furniture showcasing intricate wood and stone carvings. We especially loved the wood carving on the bed (the bed itself it just enormous!). Even the shampoo and shower gel "bottles" were made of stone. Almost everything in the room was crafted from natural materials like wood and stone. The flower petal art, whether in the tub or at the restaurant, was simply marvellous!

Located in serene part of Ubud, away from the busy crowds of central Ubud. Breath taking views overlooking the jungle and rice fields nearby. Infinity pool was amazing and the bar made the best Pina colada’s I’ve ever had. Just a few mins walk to Karsa Spa which is best spa in Ubud. Thank you Kadek from happy tours and experiences for the recommendation and for making our trip a memorable one. I would recommend Kadek if you need a driver in Bali. He was more then a driver and took care of all our tickets for tours and took the most amazing photos of us all. https://www.instagram.com/happytoursandexperiences?igsh=bXozNWgyZ2owbDVv
