Are you on the lookout for unique stays in Ubud? Here are five recommendations for adventurous travellers and nature enthusiasts who crave an unforgettable experience.

Kindly be aware that these accommodations are situated amidst the jungle, thus anticipate encountering some bugs during your stay.

1. Deluxe Room with a Pool View at the Bubble Hotel

Treat yourself to a one-of-a-kind and memorable adventure by spending a night in a bubble, ideal for a romantic getaway! With the chance to gaze at the stars at night and admire the lush surroundings during the day, the Bubble Hotel promises an unforgettable experience.

Out of the ten bubbles, only one has a private pool, and I highly recommend booking this bubble for its stunning views of the surrounding jungle and valley. Apart from the infinity pool, this bubble also features a swing and a hanging net.

Wildlife is abundant at the Bubble Hotel. We saw monkeys swinging in the trees, lizards, geckos, butterflies, birds, etc.

Note: Bring mosquito repellent!

You can expect a comfortable night’s sleep in the air-conditioned Bubble, with the added convenience of WiFi access and electrical sockets both inside and outside the bubble to keep your electronic devices charged.

For an extra fee, you can elevate your bubble experience with beautiful floral arrangements and candlelight décor near the infinity pool. There are plenty of fun activities to enjoy during your stay, such as flying kites, blowing big soap bubbles, releasing Chinese lanterns, and much more.

The Hut at Eco Six is undoubtedly the most sought-after villa due to its round rooftop pool. And if the weather permits, you might catch a glimpse of the majestic Mt. Agung towering in the distance.

Besides the stunning rooftop pool, the Hut has several other noteworthy features, such as a spacious bathtub, a large projector screen, and a cozy hanging chair on the patio where you can enjoy your morning coffee.
