Located in Ubud’s local artisan area just 10 minutes from the town center and hidden in the back of a local community, The Pari Sudha is the temporary oasis you never expected. The reception’s open design immediately welcomes visitors with a stunning view of the jungle that is beautifully complimented by the sweet smells of surrounding mango trees and vegetation.
Comfort and tranquility are easy here, with a maximum occupancy of just 10 rooms and an astounding 5 pools to cater to each guest’s preferences. Although each room is perfectly shaded, the large glass sliding doors allow you to take in the perfect amount of natural light or let the fresh breeze flow through freely as you relax on a heavenly Queen-sized bed. The complimentary yoga mats are a nice bonus for those eager to maintain their mental balance on their balcony or the hotel’s large open space between the largest pool and nature.
While each smaller pool has its own charm, the main pool resembles a setting of the gods with an infinity view facing the jungle and two hand-sculpted Balinese sculptures dancing over swimmers. This peaceful view is enjoyed daily when visiting the restaurant for the included made-to-order breakfast. Fresh juice, tea and coffee accompany exotic fruits and your choice of warm oatmeal, traditional Balinese dishes or western staples like waffles and French toast.
Although it’s easy to become trapped in such an ideal setting, the hotel’s prized location encourages a countless amount of adventures, as most of the Ubud’s most visited locations are conveniently within just 15 minutes drive. Among others, this includes historical locations like Manuaba Waterfall, Pura Telaga Waha or the town’s two palaces, along with captivating views at the Ceking Rice Terrace, Alas Harum Bali or influencer favorite Aloha Ubud Swing. It’s very easy to see why The Pari Sudha has continued to grow and has local and international guests visiting from around the world.
