Wapa Di Ume: a serene escape in Ubud’s rice fields

Situated among Bali’s iconic rice paddies, Wapa Di Ume offers a retreat that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of Ubud’s streets.

A warm Balinese welcome

From the moment you arrive, hospitality shines. You’re greeted with a warm smile, offered a fresh coconut drink, and guided on a tour of the grounds while your luggage magically appears in your room. Staff remember your name throughout your stay, a thoughtful detail that makes the experience feel personal.

Spacious rooms with views and comfort

The resort has 36 guest rooms, including private pool villas for families or couples. Balconies overlook golden-green rice fields, the perfect spot to catch a Bali sunset.

Inside, you’ll find soft canopy-draped beds and even a sunken bathtub — a rare luxury in Bali. While the rooms are gorgeous, the resort’s amenities and experiences quickly draw you outside.

A spa steeped in Balinese tradition

Wapa Di Ume’s multi-level spa is designed for deep relaxation. Complete with a whirlpool, beauty center, and two private massage rooms, it blends luxury with tradition. Therapists use natural oils, herbs, and spices rooted in Indonesian culture, turning each treatment into a cultural experience as much as a pampering one.

Dining with a view

There are two restaurants on-site. Mr. Wayan serves authentic Balinese cuisine with sweeping rice field views. For something more familiar but with a local twist, Wapas Restaurant offers comfort food that pairs beautifully with the tropical setting.

After a meal, take a dip in the infinity pool framed by lush jungle greenery — or head to the fitness center for morning yoga overlooking the paddies. Few places make sunrise feel this magical.

Immersing in Balinese culture

Wapa Di Ume brings Balinese traditions to guests in meaningful ways. You can join weekly palm leaf weaving classes, learn to cook traditional dishes in a hands-on course, or even trek through rice paddies with a local guide.

These activities transform your stay from a luxury getaway into a cultural immersion, all without leaving the resort.

Why Wapa Di Ume stands out

What makes Wapa Di Ume unique is the blend of elegance and authenticity. It’s not just a resort — it’s a window into Balinese life, surrounded by nature but enhanced with modern comforts.

Whether you’re floating in the infinity pool, soaking in your private bathtub, or tasting local spices at the restaurant, every moment feels like a balance of luxury and tradition.
