Capella Ubud, Bali, Indonesia

Stays

Bali

Tucked deep within the lush rainforest of the Keliki Valley, Capella Ubud is perfectly situated to immerse guests in Bali’s most enchanting natural and cultural wonders. Just a 20-minute drive from central Ubud, the luxury tented camp offers easy access to the area’s thriving art scene, spiritual temples, artisanal markets and rice terraces. Adventure-seekers and serenity-lovers alike will find a wealth of inspiration in nearby attractions such as the Sacred Monkey Forest, Tegalalang Rice Terrace and Tirta Empul Water Temple. For the luxury traveller, it’s the rarest of opportunities: to be close to everything, yet cocooned in a world entirely your own.

“Capella Ubud redefines what it means to 'get away'. The luxury is palpable, but never pretentious. What I love most? The sense of narrative. Every tent tells a story, every experience is intentional. Dining at Api Jiwa, where you’re seated inches from the chef’s theatrical creations, is nothing short of transformative. It's rare to find a place that speaks so deeply to both the adventurer and the connoisseur.”

Named the #1 Best Resort in Indonesia for 2024 by Travel + Leisure in their World's Best Awards, and recognised as a Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star hotel, Capella Ubud is a whimsical masterpiece by renowned landscape architect Bill Bensley. Designed as a sophisticated tented camp, this spellbinding tribute to the spirit of the 1800s explorers integrates curated luxury with Bali’s untouched jungle, transporting guests to a one-of-a-kind retreat where adventure and tranquillity coexist. Hidden amongst ancient trees, rice paddies and the sacred Wos River, each element of the camp pays homage to Indonesia’s rich cultural heritage. With no trees felled during construction, the camp is a true celebration of nature, artistry and soulful storytelling.

Why it’s one-of-a-kind:

Capella Ubud is not your typical resort – instead, it promises an experiential visit that will stay with you long after you check out. Every detail, from the quirky décor to the antique artefacts, has been artfully selected to whisk you away to a bygone era, without sacrificing modern comforts. The tented accommodation is nestled into the landscape without disturbing a single tree, offering unrivalled privacy and uninterrupted jungle views. Culinary adventures await at Api Jiwa, an interactive Asian barbecue theatre, while moments of stillness can be found at the lunar-inspired Auriga Wellness spa. At the heart of it all is Capella Curates, where bespoke cultural experiences are crafted to be truly unforgettable for each and every guest.

Ideal for?

Capella Ubud is best suited for couples, solo travellers, and adventurous luxury seekers, but may be less ideal for families with young children. Couples will love the romantic seclusion of the tented accommodation, each with a private saltwater pool, outdoor showers, and deep jungle views that create an intimate escape (perfect for honeymoons or anniversaries). The tailored wellness experiences, candlelit jungle dinners, and spiritual rituals also appeal to those looking to reconnect and unwind together. Solo travellers with a passion for culture and introspection will appreciate the camp’s serene and adult-focused atmosphere, personalised service, and enriching activities like guided temple visits or Balinese cooking classes. Older families or those with teenagers will also enjoy the sense of adventure and the educational value of cultural excursions.

Rooms and suites:

Capella Ubud’s 23 luxury tents and one exclusive two-bedroom Lodge all offer rare seclusion and their own individual style. Each tent, spanning 173 square metres, sits within the jungle canopy and is thoughtfully appointed with antique furnishings, rich textiles, and artisan-crafted details that honour Indonesia’s heritage. Guests enjoy a private saltwater pool, indoor/outdoor rain showers, and a signature hammered copper bathtub, along with modern comforts like 24-hour in-tent dining and a complimentary refreshment trunk. For families or small groups, the 217-square-metre Lodge provides an elevated retreat with two bedrooms and ample space to unwind in total privacy.
