Maya Ubud

The Maya Ubud Resort and Spa lives in harmony with its surroundings, thanks to clever design and the use of local and reclaimed materials, creating an environmentally sustainable resort in a beautiful natural setting. Laid out like a traditional Balinese village, the buildings all follow the contours of the land. Located just a 25-minute walk from Ubud, guests can also take advantage of the complimentary shuttle service that runs to the central market throughout the day.

There are many dining options, including the Asian-style Asiatique restaurant and the Maya Sari restaurant, famed for its sumptuous sunrise buffets. Guests will find two swimming pools set within the resort, a tennis court, gym, business centre and library. For more relaxing pursuits there is the Bale Raga Yoga Studio, or guests can enjoy a relaxing treatment at the riverside spa.

When to go

Bali enjoys a warm tropical climate all year round, with a distinct wet and a dry season. Bali’s dry season spans from April to September, with the wet season starting in October and generally lasting until March. Characterised by hot temperatures and clear skies, the dry season is considered to be the best time to visit Bali. In particular, months at the start or the end of the dry season benefit from fewer crowds and slightly cooler temperatures than often present during July and August. Bali’s wet season is characterised by bursts of tropical downpours interspersed with sunny spells, as opposed to constant torrential rain. Those visiting Bali during the wet season can benefit from reduced crowds at major sites, as well as cooler temperatures and less humidity in the central highlands.
