Samkhya Villas

The spa service was very relaxing and the villa itself was wonderful. The breakfast was also quite tasty. The room was very clean and the staff was exceptionally cordial. The restaurant was also above our expectations.

We love the villa that we were in. The room is so spacious and they even prepared a bath for our baby moon. They have mosquito coils burnt every day which was a plus. The bed was comfy too. It’s not far from central Ubud, they also provide shuttle service to Ubud. The staff is very friendly, the WhatsApp service to speak to front desk is superb and so convenient. It’s so easy to order food and book massages and spa. I had one of the best Balinese massages at the spa. Because I am pregnant they even cater to my needs and was really nice and applied the right pressure. They have different breakfast options daily and also gave us a take away box as we had to leave early for a tour one day.

The location of the hotel is in the middle of the rice fields but still really close to the centre if you have a scooter. The room was very comfortable and clean with a beautiful view to the forest. The hotel staff was always there to help us with tours, renting a scooter etc. and a smile on their face. The breakfast was served in our rooms with plenty of options each day.

Our driver had difficulty finding the drop zone, but found it after talking directly to reception. The drop zone is a sign, blink and you'd miss it! There is no driveway or parking space but hey the Balinese just wing it and it works. Reception sends a large golf buggy to collect you and your luggage in one pickup and travel about 500m down an alley behind properties and backing onto rice fields. It's quite an adventure the first time and absolute transformation, from the traffic noise into the serenity of rice paddies. The location of the villa, you only hear the breeze through these rice fields. It's quite amazing! Everything about this villa felt private and spacious. The decor was a bit dated and the interior felt very moody, but we loved the dark wooden floors, the exposed rafters and the timber-framed floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that gave an almost 180 degree corner view overlooking the garden, pool and beyond. The bed was very comfortable, it was Bali soft. Slept very well in that bed! The dressing room is very spacious with adequate storage and dedicated luggage rack next to a vanity which had a long bench space and large mirrors. The outside bathroom felt like a bit of a trek to get to during the night. We had an issue with lack of hot water in the shower but it was rectified once we notified reception. The staff are friendly and attentive. The breakfast was impressive. You order your breakfast the day before and we chose to have it served in our villa, on the deck. I loved that each day had different breakfast options catering for Westerners and Asian guests. We also enjoyed dinner room service a few nights when we got rained in and didn't want to trek the main street for food. The price was very reasonable including service charges. I'd highly recommend to keep walking that alley beyond the villas, it takes you through the rice fields and a few warungs too and you come close to the main drag of Ubud.

Spacious room with a lovely pool, comfy daybed and sunloungers in a little garden. The spa was also very nice, and all the staff were very friendly.
