5. Maya Ubud Resort & Spa
Bordered by the vast Peliatan rice fields on the west and the Petanu River valley to the east, Maya Ubud is located within a slice of tropical haven just an hour from Ngurah Rai airport. With 108 thatched private pool villas and luxury guestrooms featuring contemporary decor with smattering of traditional local influences, you can be assured of a luxuriously executed holiday. This multiple award winning resort is also an active champion of local sustainability and eco-friendly practices.
One night at the deluxe pool villa will set you back a surprisingly reasonable RM1700. Cheap as chips for the moguls and a rather realistic option for the would-be moguls 😉
6. Sanur Residences
The 9-bedroomed Sanur Residence is designed with a slick, modern twist featuring luxurious ironwood roofing, large windows for the amazing view, broad balcony terraces for massages and other relaxing activities, all decorated in sleek, white décor.
