At the end of our two-week journey around Bali, we were finally able to exhale and relax the stunning COMO Uma Ubud. The verdant jungles scattered through the buzzing cultural hub of Ubud provide an unparalleled backdrop for some of Bali’s most luxurious resorts. After reading glowing reviews and marveling at photos of the property’s remarkable grounds straight out of The Jungle Book, I was sold. The COMO Uma Ubud is a serene escape designed for ultimate relaxation while also providing easy access to Ubud and the iconic green landscapes that Bali is known for.
We spent three wonderful days at property moving between our private pool, the infinity pool, exploring Ubud, and on early morning walks. Ubud’s town center is a short shuttle ride away; the beautiful Campuhan Ridge Walk is less than a 5-minute drive away; and the popular Tegalalang Rice Terrace is 20 minutes away. And the property is a great price point—we booked a private plunge pool suite for around $400 USD per night. Book the COMO Uma Ubud if you’re looking for a serene stay at luxury resort in Ubud. And for an ultimate luxe experience, make sure to snag a room with a private pool.

Beautiful Grounds & Infinity Pool
Surrounded by the layered green landscapes of Bali’s interior, COMO Uma Ubud overlooks the Tjampuhan Valley and blends seamlessly into its surroundings. Tropical plants line the maze of pathways and the tranquil infinity pool at the heart of the property is a refreshing oasis. Lounge poolside with colorful cocktails or enjoy a yoga class in the open-air elevated studio. Wake up with breakfast at the property’s open-air Kemiri restaurant next to the pond and herb garden.
COMO Uma Ubud Pool Suite
We stayed in a “pool suite” and I instantly felt at home among the light airy neutrals that fill the spacious rooms in the suite’s open floorplan. The pool suite features a sundeck, sitting room, and private plunge pool set in a tropical garden. I loved having extra space in the sitting room to lay out my suitcase and camera equipment. And the terrace was perfect for enjoying birthday bubbly one evening before dinner.
experiences
When you finally tear yourself away from the pool, the COMO Uma Ubud offers plenty of activities and experiences. The shuttles rides are a convenient mode of transportation to explore Ubud’s town center and famous market. If you’re looking for adrenaline filled adventure, the concierge will happily arrange an all-day hike along the smoldering volcano Mount Batur or a rafting trip down the Ayung River. Culture-focused activities include market and temple tours, local cooking classes, and more. We enjoyed a traditional Balinese dance over dinner one evening.
And if you’re in search of an even deeper level of wellness, the Uma Resort is one of two COMO properties in the area. The COMO Shambhala Estate is a wellness resort about 15-minutes away. For maximal convenience (and relaxation), you can book a wellness escape at the Shambhala Estate while staying the Uma Property.
We loved our stay at the luxury jungle resort that is the COMO Uma Ubud and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Ubud!
