Mountain view Hotels in Bali

I can’t speak more highly of this gorgeous,lush, whimsical resort. Where do I even start? The luxury tent was fabulous- it was elegant, comfortable and aesthetically beautiful- you stayed in a tent that had hard wood floors, soft brown leather, wooden panels, windows that over look the outside green and a patio with a private pool. Everything is personalised for you, from the letters you find on your desk or on the bed, to the turn down service to the messages you recieve on your phone- you are treated like royalty. I don’t think he word no exists is in their dictionary- they try to accommodate your every need, my room with my private pool was overlooking a spot that wasn’t as private as I liked- when I asked they not only changed my room, they upgraded me and gave me a toom with an even bigger pool and created a partition to ensure it was to my liking. They change your towels twice a day, fill up your fruit platter in your room, give you a choice to have breakfast or lunch, and since it’s à la carte, they let me choose multiple dishes to try out very single day at no extra charge. If you have a chance to experience the river side BBQ- it’s imperative- the experience isn’t complete without it-It’s truly a night to remember, the entertainment, the food made by a chef who worked for the royal family, the Balinese dancing, the live band and a short movie talking about the history of Bali. The location of the resort overlooking the valley is mind blowing - one doesn’t need to go anywhere, just sit and absorb the beauty. The staff was the highlight- they’ve handpicked the kindest, warmest and most supportive people to work there and make your experience an absolute joy. A special thanks to Ari, Julia, Ekawati, Gede, Putu, Sonia and everyone else who made this trip unforgettable.

This 5 star hotel is really excellent. It’s located up the mountain in central Bali looking out over the forests and jungle towards Ubud. It’s cooler as a result and providing it’s not too cloudy (hotel can be in the clouds at 1200m elevation), you can see for many miles. This really makes the infinity pools spectacular.  Rooms are spacious, we had a villa with hot tub but also had a nice garden, and room is equipped with everything you might need including mosquito net over the bed. As you would expect, the service and restaurants are first class offering a selection of Balinese and western dishes. The hotel is also a working coffee plantation and this is apparent in many ways, from the morning tours (free) to the 4 types of coffee power included in the complimentary room tea & coffee set. It’s a beautiful hotel, pricy though and there’s not much in the local vicinity, but if you want luxury and a great experience in central Bali, it’s a good choice.

For a relaxing, romantic stay in Bali away from the tourist hot spots, the Sanak Retreat is the ideal place to stay. It is really exceptionally nice located in the middle of the rice terraces and the few bungalows blend harmoniously into the landscape. We felt right at home. The food is ok and not too expensive. The location invites to hiking and biking. The only downside to our stay was that we were there at the time of the rice harvest and the farmers in the immediate vicinity of the hotel burned the rice palm after the harvest. This has unfortunately stunk terrible and fouled entire stretches of land for days. Those who are sensitive to bad air should try to avoid the time of the rice harvest.

I stayed at Metland Venya Resort Ubud and it turned out to be one of those trips that really lets you slow down and breathe. From the moment I arrived, everything felt effortless. Check-in was smooth, and instead of standing around, I was invited to sit at a cozy waiting area with a welcome drink while the staff handled everything. It set the tone right away—calm, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming. The room was clean, spacious, and opened up to a beautiful view of the mountains, with the gentle sound of the river flowing in the background. It’s the kind of place where you don’t feel the need to rush out—you just want to sit, relax, and take it all in. The highlight for me was definitely the spa. Having a massage while overlooking nature and the river was something else. No background music needed—the sounds of nature did it all. The restaurant didn’t disappoint either. There was a wide spread with plenty of options, making every meal something to look forward to. And when I felt like heading out, the shuttle service to Ubud Centre made it really convenient to explore and do a bit of shopping. Overall, it felt less like a hotel stay and more like a quiet retreat I didn’t want to leave.

This was the most perfect hotel I've ever stayed in. The staff were all friendly. I had dinner at the aperitif, a French course meal. It was called ”Mid Journey,” and it was a truly enjoyable meal, as if I was on a real trip. On my last day, I went to Ubud Monkey Forest, but it was so hot. I returned to the hotel, grabbed my luggage, took a shower, and headed to the airport. I was so grateful for the refreshing return. The private pools in each room were so nice that I didn't even need to use the public pool. I'll definitely be back next time!!

Neano Escape is a truly beautiful hotel, and I was absolutely delighted from the moment I arrived. This was my first time experiencing Bali, and it turned out to be perfect. As a solo traveler, it was incredibly important for me to feel comfortable and safe, and I found exactly that here. The atmosphere is so cozy, everything is well-thought-out and organized, which made me feel relaxed and confident throughout my entire stay. This place was a wonderful introduction to Bali for me, and I definitely left with the warmest memories. I will certainly return and gladly recommend it!

An exceptional hotel with a level of service and attention that truly surprised us. We had a very pleasant stay; the hotel is beautiful, boasts incredible views, and the rooms are very comfortable with lovely areas to relax in. All the staff are genuinely attentive, smiling, and helpful. We ate very well at the restaurant. If I had to recommend a hotel in the mountains of Bali, this would be it. Thank you for everything!

A heavenly place, we got a room with a view of the lake and the volcano. There are fruit trees on the territory, such as mango, avocado, passion fruit and many others) there is also a pool with a hot spring, but for us it was not hot enough) the staff is always responsive, always ready to prompt and advise what and where to see) it is simply a magical place. I recommend it 100%

The whole room was really nice, with great mountain and sea views. The restaurant food wasn't great, but it was inexpensive. The most comfortable thing was lying on the big sofa on the balcony, looking at the sea. The hotel also provided welcome drinks, which were a local specialty. However, the environment was a bit too wild. My clothes were hanging in the bathroom, got blown to the floor, and were eaten by insects, leaving two big holes. Also, the small road leading to the hotel was a bit bumpy, although the hotel did offer a shuttle bus. There weren't many special restaurants on the street outside the hotel, but there were durian vendors, and I bought two good ones for 60k.

Gede was so nice and helpful. True MVP. He gave me suggestions and even a ride to somewhere too far to walk! Short walk to Dream Beach (with a good restaurant) and Devil’s Tear. About 20 minute walk to Mushroom Beach with more restaurants and a few ATMs along the way. You can rent a scooter from the hotel. The bungalows are rustic but really pleasant. The AC is strong and there’s a mosquito net for the bed so it’s not a problem that there are some gaps in the walls and door. I liked the open-air bathroom. The shower was nice. The pool is also great. Breakfast was eggs and toast, plus coffee/tea and juice. The outlets weren’t placed super conveniently at the floor if you like to charge your phone at night and see it in bed. The “safety box” thing in the room isn’t actually secure - you can open it with your finger. However, I always felt super safe and wasn’t worried about needing to use it.
