The space
1) Amazing location. Central but quiet with a view
In a busy part of Ubud, Samastiti's residence is located at the bottom of Jalan Hanoman.
There are over 50 great restaurants within walking distance. ( we will provide you a list of our favorite ones)
You are a few minutes' walks from the famous Yoga Barn, the shopping of Jalan Hanoman, the HUBUD coworking space, the Arma museum, and the monkey forest. Forget about driving and getting stuck in the heavy traffic in Ubud. Here, you can do everything on foot.
Yet we are at the back of a hotel so the house is very quiet and surrounded by nature but you need to walk 100 meters through the hotel pathway to access the house.
We are perfect for people looking for quiet in the center of Ubud BUT our house is not great if you have mobility issues.
Coco and Pepito supermarkets (are located within 5-10 minutes walk which makes it convenient to stock up on whatever you need.
We are one of the only private pool villas in the area and most of our neighbors are hotels which means we have limited noise from dogs or rosters in the morning
2) Great internet - the perfect place to work from home
While 100% internet reliability doesn't exist in Bali (sorry), we are connected to Biznet, one of the fastest and most reliable internet providers on the island.
We have wifi at 100mbps so you can stream and do video calls easily.
Despite having the best provider on the island, we still experience an outage from time to time as 100 percent internet reliability doesn't exist in Bali.
We have installed an extender near the pool so that you can access the internet in your rooms but also near the pool.
3) An private infinity pool
The private infinity pool overlooking the small river and the ricefield is an amazing place to relax. You can spend an afternoon watching dragonflies, birds, and squirrels, ...
4) An infrared sauna
NEW: we have just installed a far infrared sauna that is shared between the 3 residences on our property. It is great to relax your muscles after a yoga class or a day of hiking around Ubud. Far infrared saunas have great health benefits and are more relaxing than traditional saunas
5) A Balinese artist's house
The house was built by Dewa Nyoman Batuan. He is a famous Balinese artist and you can find his paintings in museums like the Arma or Neka museums. We are lucky to still have many of his art in the house. You will find his amazing mandala paintings on the wall and frescoes on the terrace.
Samastiti residence is one of the oldest houses in the area and is full of characters. We are following Balinese traditions, have 3 temples or altars within the house. You might be lucky to witness a ceremony in the house as they usually happen 4 times a month
6) Eco-Friendly
We designed this house to be as eco-friendly as possible and we look for guests who share our respect for the earth. We recycle trash, do composting, have a solar water heater, use natural pest controls as much as possible, and have a permaculture-inspired food garden. If you are lucky, you might get to try our homegrown fruit and vegetables. In the garden, we have planted avocado, mangosteen, coconuts, papaya, banana, durian, passion fruits, strawberries, and pineapples
7) western comfort.
The house has been totally renovated to western comfort. New plumbing, electricity, bathrooms, mosquito nets in all bedrooms...
The 2 bedrooms have windows fenced with mosquito nets which allows you to sleep with the windows open. We also have automated windows that you can close should you wish to use the air conditioning in the room.
One of the 2 bathrooms is open and has a fishpond inside (!) while the other one is enclosed. Both bathrooms have a bathtub.
We have a washing machine that you can use if you stay with us for a few days and need to do laundry.
8) Free water, Tea, and Coffee
A gallon of Nestle drinking water is provided free of charge. As well as tea and coffee.
9) Help you plan your trip to Bali
There is a lot to do in Ubud beyond yoga and relaxing so make sure you book a long enough stay. Most of Bali is accessible on day trips.
We can recommend a great driver and help you book activities like bicycle tours, volcano hikes, rafting, or even Gili and Penida boat transfers.
We will take good care of you and help you have a stress-free holiday in Bali!
TIP 1: Ensure you book early enough as we are often fully booked
TIP 2: Do read our welcome guides, it contains a lot of info about Ubud and the best restaurants in the neighborhood
10) Lockers for luggage storage
If you arrive before checking time or leave after check-out, we have a locker room where you can store your bags during the day while you explore Ubud.
We are looking forward to hosting you in amazing Ubud
We are very happy to have made it to the list of the 10 best Airbnb in Ubud

Want to spend some time at the beach?
We have another house in North Bali right on the beach
We can help you create the dream Bali vacation spending a few days in North Bali to relax by the sea and discover the countryside and a few days in Ubud to enjoy the culture, food yoga, spas, and restaurants.
We will help you book airport transfers and transport between the 2 villas. The way from Ubud to Air Sanih makes for a great day trip, passing Kintamani, Mount Batur, temples, and waterfalls.

Other things to note
1) While we are at the end of a path and next to the river, we are located in between 4 et 5 stars hotels. The hotel to the left is quite tall and guests from the hotel can view our garden infinity pool.
