Maya Ubud Resort & Spa

Frommer's Review

Just 5 years old, this fine resort is a short hop outside of Ubud proper (just to the east) and is set in a quiet, mountainous area surrounded by rice fields. The hotel's design makes elegant use of local materials, blended in an immaculate, contemporary style. Rooms reflect that refined simplicity, with cool white and yellow tones set against the dark wood of Art Deco furnishings. Floors are made of river stone and ceilings of thatch. The double-height lobby rotunda echoes the shape of a Dongsan Drum, a relic of an ancient culture and an important regional motif. The property stretches in a line of low-profile buildings all the way down to the river. An elevator transports you down the steep valley to the riverside, where the fine spa rooms literally hang over the rushing water; there's also a small restaurant and a riverside pool with a vanishing edge. Fine dining, spa facilities, and plenty of activities make the Maya quite self-sufficient, but regular shuttle service to town keeps you connected.
