FuramaXclusive Villas & Spa Ubud is located at Banjar Bindu, 20 kilometres south-west from the centre of Ubud, the artistic and cultural centre of Bali. Only 30-minutes drive from Denpasar, the villa resort is set amidst two hectares of land. Surrounded by beautiful rice fields, it captures the gentle tranquillity of the region.
Contemporary chic with a minimalistic touch
The modern interior décor of the spacious 18 villas combines contemporary chic with a minimalistic touch. The Lagoon Pool Villas line the entire length of the magnificent 70-metre lagoon, and each villa boasts an outdoor dip pool. The villas offer a front hall, a large bedroom with vanity, ample bathroom space, bathtub and standing shower stall. Sunbathe on your private back patio before stepping down to the main lagoon to bask in the grandeur of the resort’s design.
The Spa Pool Villas are exclusive duplexes complete with a personal outdoor whirlpool bathtub and a dedicated spa therapy area where guests can enjoy massage treatments in the comfort and privacy of their own villa. Built with a unique architectural twist in the form of a bell-shaped roof, the spa pool villas are uniquely designed with the bedroom on a mezzanine floor. Guests are pampered with their own outdoor whirlpool romantically built for two.
Padi Restaurant offers panoramic views over the expanse of paddy fields around the resort’s grounds and of its sister property, Furama Villas & Spa Ubud. Guests may choose to enjoy the breathtaking views during mealtimes or, alternatively, prefer to be spoiled by in-villa dining. Cool drinks and light snacks make the Lagoon Pool Bar the perfect meeting place.
If you are keen to explore the various activities in and around the resort, you are in for a treat! Cooking, woodcarving and traditional dance classes are available for guests staying at the resort while outdoor enthusiasts can decide between a morning trek, cycling, village tour or picnic breakfast. Alternatively, ask the concierge to arrange a customised tour.
The dedicated Spa Furama will pamper guests with a choice of luscious treatments in private therapy rooms.

There is nothing more ideal than having a traditional Balinese massage while in Bali!
For an idyllic escape with wide, open skies and the beckoning call of nature, FuramaXclusive Villas & Spa is the perfect choice.
The main crossroads in front of the Puri Saren palace is the 'navel' of Ubud—its cultural and historical focal point. Away from the main streets, Ubud is a quiet place featuring small lanes lined with homestays, warungs and Balinese compounds extending north and south from the main road.
A visit to Ubud isn't complete without going to the Monkey Forest Sanctuary south of the village which is inhabited by cheeky monkeys waiting for visitors with peanuts. The interesting Pura Dalem Agung (Temple of the Dead) is also located in the forest and features amazing ancient trees and sculptures.
Ubud features a range of accommodation including luxury properties with great spa settings and facilities, wonderful health retreats and spectacular views. There are cultural shows on nearly every night and organised tours can be easily arranged to visit other parts of Bali. Its central location makes it easy to get from Ubud to the mountains, beaches and major towns.
The main street is also lined with restaurants and cafes with a wide range of delicious foods to cater for all tastes.
Although visitors often outnumber residents during peak periods, Ubud retains the unhurried atmosphere and distinctive way of life of a small rural community. A day is not enough time to properly explore this charming village.">Guide to Ubud
Located in the lush slopes leading up towards the central mountains, Ubud is the cultural centre of Bali. A sanctuary for artisans, this quiet Balinese village is 60 minutes by car from Ngurah Rai International Airport. Ubud has a peaceful atmosphere and is a haven from busy Denpasar and Kuta.
Complementing the ancient temples and palaces is the unspoiled countryside that offers picturesque rice paddies, rivers and gorgeous scenery. There are many wonderful walks in every direction from Ubud, through the rice terraces, villages, jungle gorges and grassy hilltops. Organised walks cover a variety of themes including birdwatching and exploration of historic and cultural sites.
Ubud's beautiful surroundings and gracious way of life have drawn artists from all over the globe in recent decades, some of whom have even adopted Ubud as their home.
The main gallery areas are Jalan Raya, running from the Peliatan crossroads in the east all the way up to Sayan in the west; the main street through Peliatan; Pengosekan Village; Batuan Village; Penestanan Village; and the town of Mas, where the big-name woodcarvers have palatial galleries with impressive facades and enormous signs. Ubud is also known for its selection of Batik fabric, carvings, jewellery and paintings.
Ubud also has several art museums. To gain a true appreciation of Balinese art, visit Museum Neka which features mostly modern works by Balinese, Indonesian and Western artists who have worked in Bali, and also take time to see Museum Puri Lukisan—Ubud's "Palace of Art". Founded around 40 years ago by a group of artists and patrons from the Ubud royal palaces, it is set in a peaceful garden with fountains, statues and pools.
