Perched above the lush Ayung River Valley is the hilltop boutique resort of Alila Ubud. It is the perfect mix of contemporary design and Balinese architecture. They offer beautiful rooms with panoramic views as well as 3 types of villas. Our favorite was the newly renovated Terrace Tree Villas - the modern and spacious feel of the rooms juxtaposed by the lush, tropical jungle is incredible! I think the images speak for themselves...

A view to remember
With 10 private pool villas built on a steep hillside outside of Ubud, Bali, Black Penny Villas has one of the best views we've come across. If you are lucky enough to experience a sunset, it will be one you cherish for a long time!
Komaneka Bisma / best place for a massage
With stunning open-air spa rooms overlooking the river, this has my vote for the best place to get a massage. In fact, all of Komaneka Bisma is absolutely breathtaking.
