Purana Boutique Resort — Hotel in Pulau Bali

We stayed for 4 nights in one of their private villas in early May. Location is on the southern side of ubud center so arriving from the airport direction you don't have to endure the traffic of the town center. At first glance the entrance seems small and modest but you don't have to take 3 steps from the car to reach the reception. Reception seems to be open 24h a day and you can always reach someone instantly by phone. There are also a lot of really good retaurants nearby within a short walking distance and mini market and such. For example Sacred Rice restaurant nearby is definitely something you have to visit, best fine dining experience we had. Area is also peaceful, I had an accident during our trip but didn't have any difficulties walking with crutches in the neighbourhood which tells a lot if you know how chaotic the local traffic can be. The Villa is simply amazing. The entrance is charming little walkway through green corridoor resmebling a fairytale and you arrive at the terrace area with your private pool, outdoor kitchen and the entrance to inside. The outdoor and inside areas are completely private. Inside of the villa you have a really nice kingsize bed that is one of the most comfortable beds I've come across away from home, a day bed, bathroom area and abundance of storage space. The toilet is partly outside area on one side of the bathroom and on the other side there is the bathtub and shower also loacated outside. We've stayed at a lot of resorts that can be categorized as luxury but everything in the villa was of good quality, no corners were cut and everything felt like someone had built the place to the highest standards to live there themselves and not like trying to have the most luxorious feel and look for the cheapest price. Pool was probably the cleanest we saw during our 15 day stay on the island, and everything inside the villa was spotles as well. Resort has a small and cozy restaurant that has tables on two floors located by the reception building and food there was delicious. Breakfast was not served in the restaurant but brought to our room and we could enjoy it in privacy by the pool. You can also order dinner to your villa and we even had nice balinese couples massage on our own terrace. They have few cars you can hire to take you to ubud and back for free or for a longer trip and the cars are spacious, new and clean. The cost for longer trips is little more than you would pay for a random gojek driver but the extra price is absolutely worth it for the quality of the service. But what really is the best part about the resort is the people. The resort isn't that big so you quickly become familiar with the staff and almost everyone spoke clearly better than average english. When arriving or coming back from a walk the staff greeted us with "welcome home" that sounded cheesy branding attempt but it grew on us quickly and when it was time to check out it really felt like leaving your friends and family behind. We had many delightful conversations and members of the staff weren't shy when telling us about local customs and traditions and were so kind to share about themselves and what it is to live like on the island. Truly a privilege and learnt a ton while also made new friends. Local people are kind and polite in general but the staff at the resort were few steps ahead. We checked out but we never left. Matur suksma to everyone at...

Our stay at Purana Boutique Resort was nothing short of exceptional!

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with the warm hospitality that Bali is known for - but the staff at Purana took it to another level.

From the generous direct booking offer to the in-room check-in process and the heartfelt “welcome back home” every time we entered the hotel, every detail made us feel like valued guests.

The entire team was genuinely warm, incredibly attentive, and always ready to go above and beyond to ensure our stay was unforgettable.

The resort itself is a peaceful oasis, seamlessly blending traditional Balinese charm with modern luxury. Our villa was spacious and beautifully designed, featuring a private pool, an outdoor bathroom - the perfect setting to unwind after a day of exploring.

The attention to detail was evident in everything: the tasteful décor, the uber comfortable beds draped in elegant mosquito nets, and the high-quality linens that made every night’s sleep a dream.

We also loved the location - secluded and tranquil, yet just a short drive from Ubud’s vibrant center. The resort offers a complimentary shuttle service, allowing easy exploration of the area while always returning to a serene retreat.

Every meal at Purana was a delight! Breakfast was freshly prepared to order, with a wide selection catering to different tastes. Each dish was beautifully presented, crafted with local, high-quality ingredients, and packed with flavor.

One of the most memorable moments was our in-villa dining experience - savoring a delicious meal by our private pool, was pure bliss.

The in-room spa treatments were another highlight. The skilled therapists provided a truly rejuvenating and relaxing experience, allowing us to fully unwind in the comfort of our villa.

When it was time to leave, we genuinely wished we had booked more nights.

Purana Boutique Resort is perfect for couples, honeymooners, or anyone seeking a luxurious yet intimate escape in Ubud. If you’re looking to relax in a private pool villa, enjoy world-class service, and experience Bali’s renowned hospitality, this is the place to be.

“Serene, laidback, and welcoming”

Let me break it down to you. Fyi, I was a solo traveler and staying here for 3 nights in One bedroom private Villa. My primary reason staying here was to complete my workdays before my following days off. Btw, Nonik was assisted me a lot pre check-in. She was very warm!

**Pick up at the airport and check in.

Pak Komang was the person who met me at the airport and picked me up. I could tell from the moment I met him that this resort is a very welcome, warm, and friendly environment. Check-in went smoothly, and the best aspect about my villa was how personalized it was, with my name card adorned with flowers. I was at ease.

**During Stay

The personnel is really attentive, and they went out of their way to help you. I received assistance in arranging for the rental of a motorcycle.

You could be a full version of yourself in the villa because it is really private. They supplied me a gallon of water and some kitchen utensils from the pantry. If you ask ahead of time, they may be able to provide a stove. The only flaw was the lack of Wifi. It was simply unpredictably unexpected. Sometimes it was good, but most of the time it was terrible. The personnel, on the other hand, was quite helpful, and they were given this criticism to help them improve.

Anyway, the bed was really comfortable, but be prepared for a swarm of insects. They were all over the place. Even though the bed had a net, it was not particularly useful. Haha… So be ready and pack your own mosquito repellent...

The bathtub was functional, if not outstanding. However, it was nice to be able to unwind after a full day of seeing Ubud.

Another good thing was the pool. It was pretty large, and I was able to practice my free diving and snorkeling there. After 5 p.m., they turned off the pool's water circulation. As a result, you'll enjoy a pretty calm night, so shoot...

**Check out and drop off

I was asked to be dropped off in Sanur Harbour on the last day of my vacation. Again, the staff was quite helpful in arranging it. They made a quick breakfast to take with them (only 2 eggs, water, and some toasted bread). Pak Komang had brought me again, and he was talkative. Check-out went without a hitch.

Overall, it was a relaxing vacation for me, and I was able to complete some tasks despite the terrible internet... Without a doubt, I will return with my partner...
