What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Tucked away amid scenic rice paddies on the outskirts of town, Kappa Senses Ubud is both literally and figuratively immersed in Balinese culture.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Kedewatan's quiet rice paddies surround the ridge, and central Ubud is a ten-minute drive south.

The rooms
Four-poster beds are draped in white mosquito netting. Higher-tier villas add private plunge pools and wide outdoor daybeds.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A timber deck surrounds the main pool, and a curved stone river pool winds through the jungle.
The spa
Seven treatment rooms sit across the 1,000-square-meter spa, where soaking tubs rest on pebble beds beneath bamboo screens.
The yoga deck
Sound healing sessions and yoga take place in an open-air bamboo pavilion overlooking the rice fields.
At the table
Dining terraces look straight out across the rice paddies, and menus draw fresh herbs from the on-site permaculture garden.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
