Bali is always known for its beaches and luxury resorts. But did you know there is a hotel that offers an extreme experience in the wild nature of Ubud? Welcome to Padma Resort Ubud, a five-star hotel majestically perched atop a steep cliff in the Payangan area. It is just 30 minutes from central Ubud. Surrounded by dense tropical forests and the steep valley of the Ayung River, this hotel is not just a place to stay but a destination for both adventure and relaxation.
The Thrill of Staying Above the Valley
The moment guests step into the resort area, they are greeted with an extraordinary panorama: an endless green valley as far as the eye can see, with a light morning mist. The hotel’s design creates a magical “floating in nature” atmosphere. Each room features a private balcony overlooking the lush gorge and river valley. Imagine sipping your morning coffee while watching birds flying among giant trees—an experience rarely found elsewhere.
Exciting Extreme and Outdoor Activities
For adrenaline seekers, Padma Resort Ubud is a true paradise. The hotel offers various challenging outdoor and in-house activities, including:
- Jungle Trekking: Explore the tropical forest with a local guide, traversing natural, steep, and surprising trails.
- Off-Road Adventure: Discover the mystical Mount Batur and its impressive mountainous surroundings.
- Mount Batur Sunrise Hiking: Enjoy the sunrise and capture photos in the Mount Batur Sunrise hiking area.
- Village Bike Tour: Go on a guided bike ride through local villages and beautiful rice fields.
For those who prefer hotel-based activities, there are agroforestry tours, animal feeding, as well as archery, golf, and fishing sessions available.
Price Range and Access
Room rates at Padma Resort Ubud range from IDR 2,800,000 to IDR 5,500,000 per night, depending on the season and room type. Guests are advised to use private vehicles or hotel transfers, as the road to Payangan is steep and winding, adding an extra sense of adventure.
An Experience Beyond Just a Vacation
Staying at Padma Resort Ubud is not only about comfort but also a spiritual and physical journey. The sounds of nature, morning mist, and fresh forest air make every guest feel like they have discovered the best version of themselves.
