In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
The villas and bungalows come in a few sizes, done in traditional Balinese style, with decent room space and nice balconies. The recurring gripe in reviews is the thin walls — you hear the room next door clearly even when your neighbours are talking at a normal volume. Some of the older bungalows have started to show their age, with visible wear. The buffet breakfast has plenty of options but the flavours don't stand out, and some reviewers suggest eating out at spots around Kedewatan instead if you're staying several nights. Ask for a room set back from the road to cut the noise.
Food and amenities
The spa is the strongest thing here. The therapists are professionally trained, and a full-body package of 2-3 hours runs $40-70. Spa-focused reviews score it very high — plenty of people say they came to Ubud specifically for the massage here. The yoga classes and wellness program are good too. The pool stays clean and the garden setting is pleasant; an afternoon by the water after a spa session is the natural way to spend it.
Location and getting there
The resort sits right on the Kedewatan road, and the obvious downside is constant traffic passing by — it isn't the quiet retreat the website photos make it look. There's no sidewalk out front, so take care when you head out. It's about 15 minutes by car from central Ubud, and close to northern attractions like the Ayung River for white-water rafting.
Things to know before booking
Three things to weigh. The road noise is real — book a room facing away from Kedewatan road and run the air-con at night to help. The thin walls mean you'll hear neighbours, so this isn't the pick for light sleepers. And the in-resort food is only ordinary, with some guests saying it isn't worth the price; plan to eat out for variety.
Our take
Bliss Ubud Spa Resort is at its best for people who come mainly for the spa and wellness. If the goal is hours of Balinese massage and real downtime, the spa here is worth it and unlikely to disappoint. But if you want all-round quiet and consistently high-end rooms, look at the 4-5-star options on this list instead.

The Honest Verdict — pros & what to know
- The Balinese spa is the standout — professional, well-trained therapists, and reviews single it out as the strongest reason to stay. A full-body package runs 2-3 hours for $40-70, and some guests say they came to Ubud specifically for it.
- The setting is genuinely pretty, wrapped in rice fields and lush green trees out in the Kedewatan area.
- Front-desk staff are helpful and good with local tips on where to go and what to do.
- The pool stays clean and the garden setting makes the afternoon — a stretch by the water after a spa session is the natural way to spend it here.
- Yoga classes and the wellness program round things out, so the spa isn't the only wellness draw.
- The resort sits right on the main Kedewatan road, so traffic passes all day. It is not the quiet, tucked-away spot the website photos suggest, and there is no sidewalk out front — watch yourself when you head out.
- The walls are thin and you'll hear the room next door clearly, even when neighbours are talking normally. Plenty of reviews flag this.
- The in-resort food is ordinary — the buffet breakfast has variety but the flavours don't stand out, and some reviews say it isn't worth the price. If you're staying several nights, eating out in Kedewatan is the better call.
