When we travel, we tend to stick to mid-range and budget-friendly accommodation options. But, every so often, we like to splash out on something special. This usually happens when it’s a special occasion like a milestone birthday or celebrating a big life event like our honeymoon or an anniversary. A destination like Ubud is the perfect place to treat yourself with a stay at a luxury resort. The Balinese are amazing hosts, offering the very best hospitality as well as delicious, fresh food and a beautiful landscape. Ubud is the perfect place to escape into the jungle for a few days (or longer) of rest, relaxation and pampering. We’re talking fresh fruit cocktails, perfect swimming pools, lush green landscapes and relaxing massages. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just in the mood to splash out, here are five of the very BEST luxury resorts in Ubud.
