Around 2.7 km from the Ubud Royal Palace, on Jalan Gunung Sari in the village of Peliatan, Maya Ubud Resort & Spa spreads down a hillside towards the Petanu River. The property's own website describes 18 hectares of tropical landscape and a "hidden river valley below", which is the defining trait of this address: the upper part of the resort looks across forest and rice terraces, while the lower level sits right beside the river, where the Infinity Riverside Pool, The River Café and the Spa at Maya are found.
According to Traveloka's listing data, the resort was built in 2001 and last renovated in 2013. It is classified as a 5-star resort with 108 rooms spread over three floors, two restaurants and one bar. Traveloka's listing also notes that the property was previously named "Maya Ubud Resort and Spa", so travellers searching older guidebooks or booking confirmations may see the name written with "and" in place of the ampersand; it is the same resort.
The mix of accommodation is unusual for central Ubud. Rather than a single block of identical rooms, the resort combines forest-facing suites in the main buildings with a set of walled villas, some with a private pool or an outdoor whirlpool tub, and a Presidential Villa at the top of the ladder. That range makes Maya Ubud Resort & Spa relevant to several kinds of trip at once: couples on a honeymoon, families who want a kids' pool and kids' club, and groups who need a two-bedroom villa.
The official address is Jalan Gunung Sari, Peliatan, Ubud 80571, Bali, Indonesia. On Traveloka, the property sits within the Ubud area of Gianyar regency, and the listing places it roughly 1 km from the city centre reference point used by the platform.
The resort's official website lists six accommodation categories, split into two families: the Impressive suites in the main wings and the Heavenly villas set in their own gardens. They are presented below from the entry suite up to the largest villa. Rates and availability vary by date, so check the live room list on Traveloka for what can be booked on your travel dates.
The entry category is the Impressive Forest Suite, which the official site lists at 48 square metres. It can be set up with one king bed (200 x 200 cm) or two single beds (100 x 200 cm) and accommodates up to four adults. The suite has expansive windows and a private balcony overlooking either a misty valley or rice terraces, and butler service is included. Connecting suites are available, which helps families or friends travelling together.
The Impressive Forest Corner Suite is slightly larger at 56 square metres, with the same choice of one king or two single beds and the same four-adult maximum. Its distinguishing feature is a corner position with two private balconies, giving views over rice paddy fields or the Petanu River. Butler service is part of the stay.
The first of the villa categories, the Heavenly Jacuzzi Villa, measures up to 245 square metres according to the resort's website. It offers king or twin bedding for up to four adults, with an outdoor whirlpool tub set in a Balinese garden and terrace, plus butler service.
The Heavenly Pool Villa extends to up to 360 square metres and adds a 14-square-metre private pool, 1.2 metres deep, along with an outdoor rainforest shower and a Balinese garden. It sleeps up to four adults, comes with butler service, and connecting villas are available.
For groups or larger families, the Heavenly Two Bedroom Pool Villa covers 385 square metres with one king bedroom and one twin bedroom, accommodating up to eight adults. It has a 21-square-metre private pool (1.2 metres deep), an outdoor whirlpool tub, a living room and butler service.
The top category is the Maya Presidential Villa at 950 square metres. It combines a king bedroom with a twin bedroom (two 120 x 200 cm beds) for up to eight adults, a 30-square-metre private pool, a separate living area, an outdoor rainforest shower, a complimentary minibar and butler service.
Across the property, Traveloka's facility list includes air conditioning, a bathrobe, bathtub, shower, desk, hairdryer, in-room safe, minibar and TV among in-room facilities, and non-smoking rooms are available. Exact fittings differ between suites and villas, so read the room details on the listing before you book.
Water is the theme of the resort's leisure areas. The official site names two main pools, both described as infinity pools: the Infinity Forest Pool on the upper grounds, where morning mist drifts across the water, and the Infinity Riverside Pool, which overhangs the banks of the Petanu River. A separate kids' pool is provided for younger swimmers, and Traveloka lists an outdoor pool with sun loungers and a children's pool.
Wellness is the other pillar. The Spa at Maya is set at river level, and Traveloka's data confirms both a spa and massage services. The resort also has a fitness centre, a yoga pavilion offering Balinese yoga classes, and a tennis court. On the official site, a kids' club, the Growing Grounds activity space (used for cooking classes, mixology classes and other nature-led activities), an open-air lounge and the Maya Art Lounge, which displays antique handicrafts, fabrics and homewares, complete the list.
Service is handled by a 24-hour front desk and 24-hour security, according to Traveloka, with a concierge, bellhop, multilingual staff, laundry service, luggage storage, a safety deposit box and tour arrangements. The official site adds an in-house guest clinic with a doctor on call. The property is listed as wheelchair accessible; guests with specific mobility needs should contact the resort about the routes down to the riverside level.
Peliatan sits on the eastern side of Ubud, which gives Maya Ubud Resort & Spa a quieter setting while keeping central Ubud close. The resort's official site states that the centre of Ubud is a leisurely stroll away and also offers a free shuttle into Ubud centre, which it describes as a 5 to 10 minute drive. Distances published on the official location page include:
I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport lies about 38 km to the south, according to the resort's website, and Traveloka's listing estimates the trip at around 55 minutes; actual journey times depend on traffic through Denpasar and Gianyar. Travellers from Singapore can book flights to Bali on Traveloka and then arrange the resort's airport transfer, which Traveloka lists as available with a surcharge. Free parking on site is useful for anyone driving a rental car.
With Ubud's temples, markets and rice terraces all within reach, it is easy to plan day trips from the resort. For guided tours, cooking classes or tickets to nearby attractions, browse things to do in Ubud and around Bali on Traveloka before you go.
The resort's official website lists three dining venues, each tied to a different level of the property. Traveloka's data, which records two restaurants and one bar, also confirms a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, a café, a coffee shop, a bar and buffet breakfast.
Room service is available 24 hours, according to Traveloka, which is handy for late arrivals from evening flights. Breakfast may or may not be part of your rate, depending on the room package you choose; Traveloka's policy notes indicate an extra breakfast charge per guest when it is not included, so check the inclusion before confirming. Beyond the resort, the free shuttle to central Ubud makes it simple to try the town's cafés and warungs for an evening out.
The clearest reason to choose Maya Ubud Resort & Spa is the riverside setting. Within a short shuttle ride of central Ubud, the resort pairs an upper level of forest suites with a lower level of pools, spa and café right on the Petanu River. Guests can spend the morning walking to the palace and art market, then return to swim beside the river in the afternoon.
The second reason is choice. The six categories run from a 48-square-metre suite to a 950-square-metre Presidential Villa, every one with butler service, so a couple, a family with children and a group of eight adults can all find a suitable layout within the same resort. Connecting suites and connecting villas widen the options further.
The third is the range of things to do without leaving the grounds: two named infinity pools, a kids' club, yoga classes, a tennis court, cooking and mixology classes at the Growing Grounds, and the Maya Art Lounge. Combined with a free shuttle into town, free parking and 24-hour room service, the resort works well for both active sightseers and guests who want a slower pace. If you are still weighing your options, compare other hotels in Ubud on Traveloka to see how the resort sits alongside nearby choices.
