Winner of Exquisite Awards 2025 – Best Romantic Resort: The Samaya Ubud

Located in the hills of Sayan, The Samaya Ubud offers a retreat where nature and luxury exist in harmony. Just 15 minutes from Ubud’s cultural centre, the resort is set along the Ayung River, surrounded by tropical landscapes and the sound of flowing water.

The Samaya Ubud features 19 spacious villas ranging from one to three bedrooms. Each villa features a private pool, an open-air living area and an en-suite bathroom with a jacuzzi. The setting is ideal for honeymooners, couples and those seeking solitude in a natural sanctuary.

Dining at Swept Away Restaurant captures the resort’s spirit of calm and connection. Guests can enjoy everything from riverside lunches to romantic dinners with its signature 100 Candles Dinner, one of Ubud’s most iconic dining experiences.

The Samaya Spa extends the resort’s focus on balance and rejuvenation. It offers a selection of treatments rooted in Balinese healing traditions. The highlight, Samaya Delight by the River, combines an outdoor massage with a private picnic by the water.

Beyond just a resort, The Samaya Ubud provides bespoke arrangements for intimate ceremonies, vow renewals and private celebrations, making it recognised as one of Bali’s best romantic resorts and wedding destinations.
