Upside Down World Bali

I can only echo what so many others have said—I had a fantastic stay at Arkamara Dijiwa Ubud as a solo traveler. From the moment I arrived, the team made me feel incredibly welcome and well looked after. The property is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and the perfect place to relax while still being a short trip from central Ubud. My room was comfortable, spotless, and had everything I needed for a restful stay. What really stood out was the genuine warmth and kindness of the staff. They made traveling alone feel effortless and helped make my time in Ubud even more special. The only negative in my opinion was the food. I had breakfast every day and one dinner at the restaurant, and nothing was wrong with it. However, nothing particularly stood out; it was just average. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone, especially solo travelers looking for a tranquil and welcoming retreat.

Fantastic location next to the water palace. Breakfast: A nice 3 course daily breakfast was served in the Lotus Cafe, which has views of the water palace. Different style set menu options available including Indonesian, English, American, and vegan. Water Palace: Guests at the hotel receive complementary access to the water palace and can see the evening show (7:30pm) from the restaurant. However, you will get a better view if you attend the show. Massage: We received complementary 30min massage and extended to 1hr which was totally worth it. Activities: The hotel also has a range of complementary daily activities for guests, from morning yoga to afternoon calligraphy and mini Balinese language class. We also did the incense making which was complementary for longer stays, the experience was lovely. The instructor and assistant, were both very friendly and patient. Truly tranquil experience. Room: Our room was one of the royal rooms, which had a separate shower to the big bathtub. Shower was enclosed, covered outdoors which was a novelty. The bathroom wasn't fully soundproof from next doors' bathroom but that didn't bother us. Door was a little creaky, however it adds character. Room had good air conditioning and space. Filtered bottled water for making tea/coffee and brushing teeth were provided daily. Staff: Very friendly, smiley and helpful. Lovely service Highly recommend staying here
