Merging holistic wellbeing, cultural immersion, and refined family escape in Payangan’s lush highlands, Padma Resort Ubud proves why it stands among Tatler’s Best Indonesian Hotels 2026.
In the tranquil highlands of Payangan, North Ubud, Padma Resort Ubud offers a retreat where the pace of life slows. Set across 11 hectares of bamboo forest and verdant valley, the property centres around an 89-metre salt-chlorinated infinity pool overlooking the canopy. Its 149 rooms and suites feature private balconies and floor-to-ceiling glass doors, bringing the surrounding landscape into private, light-filled living spaces. Beyond the well-appointed accommodations, heated pool, and stunning views, there are plenty of experiences to discover during a stay, making this resort a favourite among our Tatler Best Indonesia 2026 panellists.
Wellness is woven into the daily rhythm of the estate. Perched above the pool, The Spa draws on Indonesian healing heritage, offering restorative Balinese Massages and traditional Javanese Lulur rituals infused with frangipani, lemongrass, aloe vera, and green tea. Above the river valley, morning practice unfolds at the Bamboo Nest, a sustainable cocoon hosting beginner-to-advanced aerial yoga sessions surrounded by forest views.

Beyond structured practice, wellbeing extends into movement and cultural exploration. Guided village bike tours wind along quiet countryside roads and emerald rice terraces. For deeper spiritual immersion, Padma Resort Ubud’s Purification Journey brings guests to a sacred temple for a traditional water purification ritual, followed by a visit to an authentic Balinese family compound.
