With so many villas to choose from, modern designs and resort styles are popular choices. While soaking up the sun and sea on the island, immersing yourself in the island’s culture and experiencing its stories firsthand offers an unparalleled experience. The Royal Pita Maha, located in the heart of Ubud, has been managed by royal descendants for generations. It retains its original charm while offering a luxurious environment, making it a top choice for discerning travelers.
The Royal Pita Maha preserves the original royal environment.
Because The Royal Pita Maha is managed by descendants of the royal family, it differs from typical hotels with their advanced, luxurious modern facilities. Instead, it stays true to its roots, incorporating century-old Balinese heritage and storytelling into its design, along with unique sculptures, local artworks, and more, showcasing a distinctive design aesthetic.
The resort is built along the mountain slope, surrounded by hills and trees.
The Royal Pita Maha is actually a merger of two villa resorts. The first-built Pita Maha feels like entering a forest garden, where tropical flowers and plants bloom freely all around. Traditional Balinese houses and pavilions stand gracefully, becoming an unforgettable highlight upon arrival, offering guests a taste of the island’s charm.
The dining environment feels like being in a forest garden, with a bird’s-eye view.
Located by the Ayung River and surrounded by mountains and green forests, The Royal Pita Maha offers a 180-degree panoramic view of the emerald-green valley from its lobby and restaurant. During the day, you can dine leisurely here, experiencing the natural interplay of mountain light and clouds, while at night, there are captivating Barong dance performances that let you feel the richness of Balinese culture.
The villas are comfortable and pleasant.
The resort has a total of 85 villas, with a strong emphasis on privacy. Each room features a king-size bed draped in pure white fabric, and from the floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies, you can enjoy lush green views as if you’re in the middle of a forest. In addition, all guests can visit the normally off-limits Ubud Palace for free.
