Rice terraces and jungle descend below Samsara Ubud, set in the village of Kelusa north of central Ubud. The resort's villas combine contemporary Balinese architecture with timber screens, local stone and private heated infinity pools facing the valley. Kelusa restaurant serves Indonesian and international dishes from an open pavilion, while the spa, yoga spaces and main infinity pool follow the contours of the hillside. Stepped paths move through tropical planting between the villas, revealing the forest canopy, cultivated fields and small shrines that surround the property.
