Capella Ubud Bali

Hidden in the lush rainforests of Keliki Village, Capella Ubud is more than a resort—it is an immersive journey into the very soul of Bali. Recently crowned as one of Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards 2024, this remarkable retreat continues to set the benchmark for experiential luxury.

The Rooms

There are no traditional “rooms” here, only luxurious tented retreats and lodge. Each tent is a masterpiece, complete with polished hardwood floors, opulent four-poster beds, hand-painted murals, and private plunge pools overlooking the rainforest. The design carries an “explorer’s spirit” while ensuring every modern comfort, air conditioning, luxury bathtubs, and curated minibar selections.

Staying in these tents is like living in a dream, immersed in the wild yet enveloped by elegance. At night, lanterns light the pathways, creating an enchanting atmosphere that lingers long after guests leave.

A Sanctuary of Intricate Luxury at Capella Ubud

Step into the tented retreat at Capella Ubud and discover a room that feels more like a curated gallery than just a place to sleep. Every corner is infused with rich textures, handpicked antiques, and Balinese artistry that tell a story of heritage and indulgence. The four-poster bed, wrapped in fine linens and framed with intricate woodwork, invites guests into a cocoon of serenity, while the lush rainforest peeks through expansive windows, blurring the line between wilderness and luxury.

But the true star of the room is the stunning copper bathtub, gleaming like a jewel in the dimly lit sanctuary. Its hammered surface reflects a warm glow, turning every soak into a ritual of elegance and relaxation. Surrounded by dark wood floors, traditional décor, and soft ambient lighting, this bathtub becomes more than just a fixture—it’s an experience. Guests can indulge in a slow, meditative bath while gazing out into the jungle, listening to the rustle of leaves and the distant call of cicadas.

The bathroom itself mirrors this philosophy of intricate luxury: double vanities carved from stone, vintage-style fixtures, and thoughtful details that marry old-world opulence with modern comfort. Every element feels deliberately placed to create an atmosphere of exclusivity, one where time slows, and the art of living well is rediscovered.

At Capella Ubud, the room is not just accommodation; it is an immersive retreat of its own, a space where even the simplest moments, like sinking into a bath, become unforgettable memories.

Ambience & Design

Designed by the legendary Bill Bensley, Capella Ubud feels like a whimsical blend of 19th-century explorer camp and modern indulgence. Each detail, from hand-carved wooden pillars to eclectic antiques, tells a story of Bali’s rich cultural tapestry. The ambience is serene yet vibrant, cocooned in the sounds of nature: chirping cicadas at dawn, flowing rivers at dusk, and the occasional rustle of tropical leaves.

Every corner of Capella feels curated yet unpretentious. The suspended tents, black-painted arches, stone pathways, and intricate Batik patterns create a living gallery where architecture and nature move in perfect balance.

The Armory: Fitness in the Heart of the Jungle

At Capella Ubud, workouts feel anything but ordinary. The Armory, its jungle-framed gym pairs state-of-the-art equipment with Balinese artistry, from carved pillars to patterned walls. Natural light floods in as you train, while the sounds of the rainforest set the rhythm. Here, wellness is not routine, it’s an experience.
