  • 5/5 Paul R. 1 year ago on Google
    It's no surprise that this has been voted the best small hotel in Asia. The owners have created a paradise in a rice paddy. The quality of the accommodation, the attention to detail, the food, the service and staff are outstanding. The hotel is only a few hundred metres from the hustle and bustle of busy Ubud, but it could be a desert island. Congratulations to the owners, Paul and Grace who created this masterpiece from scratch.

    Our first visit to Bali started with the stay at Luxe Villas in Ubud. What a magical place it was! Though we arrived late in the night, we had a seamless transfer from the airport and Nyoman at the reception provided a very warm welcome and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The suite was AMAZING and absolutely immaculate, and so were the grounds and all the amenities. We stayed in the sky loft which we highly recommend - it was amazing being able to have access to your own private sky garden to watch the sunset and spend the day outside without having to leave your suite, if you wanted to just relax for the day. The entire team was so professional and kind, they anticipated our needs, remembered our names and made sure our experience was personalised and absolutely unforgettable. The breakfast was one of the best we've had and the location is super central but away from the hustle and bustle. We absolutely loved our time at Luxe Villas and meeting all the wonderful people working there. The only regret is that we didn't stay long enough. To all the team - thank for making our stay truly memorable! Hope to see you all soon 🙂

    My stay at LUXE was excellent! I loved everything about staying here. The rooms are large and spacious and nicely decorated. The service is top tier! You are catered to for everything and anything you want, the staff will provide for you. The food was delicious from The Grill restaurant, I don't think there was anything that I ordered that I did not like. The location was also excellent. The area surrounding the villa was peaceful and beautiful and you are about 5 minutes away from the Ubud market.

    It was great5/5 This should be kept a secret, something whispered discretely at the finest hotel to a favorite guest by the concierge. “Mr. Davis I know of a quiet place where you can find peace in the most elegant environment. The staff is by far the best. An exquisite place only known by a few. A small hotel designed for privacy, comfort and subtle sophistication. Imagine a top floor suite in Hong Kong or the finest residence high above the bustle and chaos of the city then, whisk it away on a cloud, and put it atop a beautiful field of rice paddies surrounded by palm trees and birds. An oasis, a private pool, three stories of perfected design and decor. Then put it in a magical place like Ubud Bali.” Enchanting. Thank you to the owner and wonderful staff. You are beautiful, I will miss all of you always. Best Wishes, John Now, you know the secret, if you are hesitant about living abroad. A few days here and you will never want to leave. Discover the life of a king or dare I say a god. Thank you so much for your sharing your brilliant world. I am sure this one will soon be impossible to book but for years advance. An erudite retreat, the work of a master artist. This hotel deserves a new rating scale. It is a 10.

    Nothing but first-hand experience can do this place justice for how truly amazing it is. I visited here recently and from the workers to the architecture, scenery and food... I was overwhelmingly satisfied. It is a beautifully quaint yet luxurious gem in the heart of Ubud, Bali. You can tell from all the small (and big) details of their layout and services just how much attention to comfort and convenience they want to provide here. Definitely paying another visit! 5-star service all around and the owners are so kind. Loved my experience here!

    Our stay at the villa was amazing. The service was wonderful, all staff were very kind and welcoming, I wish I could thank them by name. I had never been on a scooter/motorcycle before, but the guys driving were great and all smelled very good (which is a super plus for me given that I had to hug them tightly out of fear). The villa was very clean. The restaurant was big with amazing views and more amazing food. I couldn’t get enough of being there. Highly recommended if you’re thinking of staying in Ubud at a smaller hotel in the middle of a rice field. It’s a super super experience.

    I’d like to share my LUXE experience and how a couple nights in the elegant, fine, magical Villa—a peaceful green zone in the middle of Ubud’s Kajeng rice fields—had a profound impact on my health (mind and body). I arrived in poor condition, mentally and especially physically. Typically it would take me several days to begin the make a shift. However, at LUXE, I was nearly in optimal health in 24-hours. I know my body and that’s just unheard of! The high vibration, care, thoughtfulness and service received both in my luxury villa and overall Luxe experience was transformative to my body. It helped me heal and feel support and supportive. There were many conveniences (reliable wi-fi, drinking water directly from the tap, USB chargers on each side of a comfortable bed, a walk-in closet/changing room, huge vases of fresh flowers daily— Birds of Paradise, Heliconia, and fresh fruits). The hotel has their own motor bikes, which made getting around quite easy—a quick what’s app message and I was provide drop-off and pick-up that in Jalan Kajeng or wherever I desired to go. I corresponded for weeks with LUXE and had a reply in 0-2 minutes regardless of the time of day. This was a huge convenience. I was attending an event elsewhere and had to stay there for a few days, but continued to return to Luxe’s restaurant The Grill for their World class cuisine. Special meals that had my colleagues raving. We enjoyed delicious and gorgeously-plated breakfasts, lunch & dinners at the boutique restaurant, The Grill, where we could sit at any table in the restaurant and have awesome views overlooking the rice fields. By the end of the week, half the conference had heard about the elegant, luxurious space of LUXE and were trying to get in for both the fine cuisine at The Grill and accomodations. I believe it was the caring intuitive service that sealed the deal for me and everyone. The 32 staff members clearly love LUXE as much as the guests. It’s no surprise considering the care by the owners Paul & Grace, who kept all staff employed throughout the pandemic. The heart-centered owners are involved and clearly have a superb relationship with their staff, this is palpable. I might also mentioned I had one of the most effective and all around excellent massages at LUXE. ***Everything they do and everyone they employ is of the highest caliber.*** The value of this experience way exceeds the costs, what an incredible deal. After facing much stress and exhaustion for more than a week, Luxe Villas Bali and the Grill restored and nourished my energy and provided a deeply relaxing experience that is a memory I won’t soon forget. I’ll be back. Very, very soon. It felt like home

    I truly cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. Every inch of the hotel was designed with great care, the staff went above and beyond 24/7 - even before our stay helping us arrange our time in Ubud. The location was super convenient but tucked away so it was quiet, the food was incredible… I could go on and on! We miss them already and we will be back!!! Truly extraordinary, the best hotel we have ever stayed in!!!!

    This hotel is a MUST STAY. I stayed here with my wife for our honeymoon, and I have to stay that it was the best hotel stay I have had in my life. I used to travel for work and have been lucky to stay at a lot of different hotels but Luxe Villas Bali is at another level. The property is beautiful and incredibly well thought out from the rooms, shared areas, to the restaurant, but what makes this place so special are the people. Everyone from the concierge to the kitchen staff to the housekeeping to the private motor bike chauffeurs (who take you back and forth to central ubud 24/7) to even the owners Paul And Grace are not just incredibly kind and welcoming, but they go out of their way to make sure your stay is memorable, comfortable, and one of a kind. If you want an incredible experience, stay here. The location is perfect (in central ubud but quiet and serene), the property is luxurious, and the people are world class.

    The staff are super friendly and helpful. No matter where we want to go, they take care of our transportation and helped us coordinate with the drivers and the spa place. Even the staff changed shift, they all know well our requests and follow through. The service is excellent, including the front desk staff, the drivers and the restaurant staff (they open earlier to cater our day tour schedule). We had a wonderful time at LUXE.

    Luxe Villas Bali has a fantastic location. It is located on the rice fields just outside of downtown Ubud. You get the experience of a rural property where you can enjoy Bali's nature and then scooter over to the walkable regions of Ubud. The owner, Paul, is a great host. My group and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations with him. He is very knowledgable on the area and gave great advice on restaurants and local artisan shops that we could visit. He is a true hotelier. Check out the property, you will enjoy it!

    Fantastic boutique resort. Close enough to walk to the shops and restaurants in Ubud - but situated in the amazing rice paddy fields - just look at the view! Friendly staff, great breakfast. A real gem.

  • 5/5 Traci M. 11 months ago on Google
    Wow. This place is special. Incredibly special. We have been fortunate enough to travel all over the world and there are only a handful of resorts/hotels that leave an impression like Luxe Villas Bali has left on us. It is a rare and wonderful experience. It is a very private and stunning hotel tucked in between rice paddies in Bali. The Villa was exceptional in size, decor, cleanliness & beauty. The attention to detail in construction is amazing. The whole property is exceptional. We will remember this place forever and we are already hoping to come back again some day. Thank you Paul and your team for making it such an incredible 4 days for us. The customer service and care we received while we were there was spectacular from start to finish- from Ketut, Nyoman & Kadeem at reception, to the staff (Arya, Oka & others) who were at our beckon call with requests like getting our laundry done, having fresh milk delivered to our room for our coffee & tea and more. Our scooter drivers were kind & personable & our car drivers (Yudhi & Diwikhob) were also great! Our in room massage therapists (Ayu & Dewi) were both phenomenal!! The Grill Restaurant is also wonderful. The food is delicious. On our first night we did the Chef’s Table and that was one of our favorite meals during these 4 months we’ve been traveling through Southeast Asia. Everyone should be so lucky to experience Luxe Villas Bali! We’re so sad we had to leave.

    One Like No Other That is how the Luxe Villas Bali sees itself. After enjoying five days in our spacious, luxurious villa, we agree. The elegant design and the spectacular furnishings and artwork were just the beginning. The private pool and cabana were nicely complemented by superior service. Regarding the restaurant, we ate several meals at The Grille @ Luxe and were very pleased with the quality of the food, service and presentation. Before staying here, my only experience with accommodations this grand was by watching James Bond movies. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.

    We returned to Luxe Villas 8 months after our first visit. In addition to finding the rhythm of the relaxed Kajeng rice fields, the unusual conveniences (such as drinking the tap water), and the delicious Luxe Grill cuisine, we were gratified to meet Paul and the old staff again. We realized we had come to care for them. Luxe Villas is expanding its unique services. We understand the new Luxe Lounge on Jl. Kajeng will be ready next month so guests can rest in air conditioned comfort while waiting for rides back to the villa. Luxe is the very best way to see Ubud. We fee; lucky that we can enjoy the bucket-list, once-in-a-lifetime experience of a stay at Luxe Villas as many times as we wish, and at a very reasonable price.

    This is our favourite hotel in Bali. It's super private, in the middle of rice fields, and absolute luxury. The owners Grace and Paul are truly friendly and know exactly how to deliver a fabulous experience. Their in-hotel restaurant is unbelievable, the food is to die for! For us every visit to Ubud is a stay at Luxe Villas. Can't wait for our next stay 🥇

  • 5/5 Linda R. 1 year ago on Google
    The Luxe Villas is beautiful hotel over looking the rice fields, that blends in perfectly with its lush surroundings - its a 12 minute walk outside Ubud, perfect for experiencing “real” Bali. We came upon the hotel while exploring, Paul the owner happily invited us to view the property, as a Personal Travel Agent for the last 33 years, I’ve been privileged to visit some of the most luxurious properties in world. The Luxe Villas Ubud is definitely 5⭐️ with sunrise and sunset views, friendly staff, huge elegant rooms, I would recommend this relaxing property for your next stay in Bali. I know my clients are going to 💜 love this unique property. Thank you for your hospitality, your staff made us very feel welcome and we can’t wait to return.

  • 5/5 Fatimah N. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the most amazing villa we stayed in, the service was absolutely over the top. Definitely checked all the 5 star rating bullets. We loved every single bit of our stay here. The staff were really friendly, helpful, caring and informative. The villa is located in the middle of rice field, they picked us at Parking Centre Area by scooter. It was great experienced. We felt grateful they did that way because we saw some tourists brought their big luggages without any help. But Luxe Villa really treated their guests really well. Hopefully we can come back to Luxe Villa again!!! BTW, The breakfast were delicious and amazing. Great hospitality!! Thank you for the gift too!! Cheers from Marcos and Nata

    We haven't seen any other lodging like Luxe Villas anywhere in the world, and now we understand why 97% of TripAdvisor reviewers have reported having excellent experiences there. Except for the sound of mini-waterfalls, the entire area is silent and serene. There is no neighbor noise because there are no neighbors. Paul and Grace have built 4 rooms, two villas and a world-class restaurant in a building served by about 30 employees, where guests can enjoy unusual conveniences (reliable wi-fi, drinking water directly from the tap, USB chargers on each side of a comfortable bed, a walk-in closet/changing room, huge vases of fresh Heliconia flowers, changed regularly) right in a "green zone" in the middle of Ubud's Kajeng rice field walk. It took years to build a motorcycle road and street lights, and bring electricity to this rural location. At one moment you are in the heart of Ubud's tourist area and 5 minutes later by motor bike you are at Luxe Villas, surrounded by rice fields that are more fundamental for understanding East Asian culture than amber waves of grain are for Western culture. Hotel-owned motor bikes provide drop-off and pick-up that in November should be available from a downtown Lounge on Jalan Kajeng. We enjoyed delicious and well-plated breakfasts at the boutique restaurant, The Grill@Luxe, where each of 8 tables has one or more windows overlooking rice fields. Paul has what Indonesians call a "kebapakan" (responsible caring) approach to making his staff and guests as happy as he is. 2020 and 2021 were harsh pandemic years for many Balinese. Some even committed suicide. But the staff at Luxe Villas remained employed, helping Paul and Grace make a renovated Luxe Villas even more convenient and comfortable. We experienced first hand the generosity and care of Paul and his superb staff and the relaxing pace of life at Luxe Villas. We are sure that Luxe Villas offers an experience that is in a class of its own--a fantastic deal that is worth a whole lot more than it costs.

    What a beautiful stay we had at LUXE villas, Ubud. Totally seamless from arrival to departure. The setting is dreamy, standing beautifully amongst the rice fields and a lovely walk just out from the hustle and bustle of central Ubud. The staff are amazing, all warm and welcoming and nothing a bother. From ironing a shirt to making reservations for dinner. The restaurant upstairs, currently serving only breakfasts, with almost 360 degree views is a divine start to the day. Serving the most delectable choice of breakfasts, the Balinese Bubur, a traditional chicken rice porridge is a must try! The suite was immaculate, every touch was so considered. The luxurious bed lines, pillows and super comfortable mattress, the vast bathroom, a tub with a view, the dressing and office space all so beautifully designed and finished with stunning taste and timeless elegance. We felt SO spoilt. Looking forward to restaurant opening and seeing you all again! We can't wait to return. Definitely our new destination when in Ubud. Thank you to everyone at LUXE Villas who made this such a special trip.

    Great experience Stoped in for a drink while on a walk by the rice fields with my wife. Met Paul the owner, who went out of his way to ask us how we were doing and where we were from. Gave us a list of recommendations in the area and offered to help with lost luggage at the airport. Beautiful property, would definitely consider staying on a return trip to Bali Overall a great experience

  • 5/5 Miriam M. 1 year ago on Google
    My husband and I knew that we were in for a luxurious experience. The website sets the stage, but the reality far exceeded anything we could have envisioned. Our villa was breathtaking and shockingly big. The design was meticulous and so clearly considered. The location amongst the rice field felt like a sublime dream. But what cannot be conveyed, and what made the experience surpass any we've ever had elsewhere: everyone (and I mean everyone) was so warm, welcoming and loving. I cannot express fully how special our time was. We felt cared for and at home. We cannot wait to return.
