The Mansion Hotel & Spa Ubud Bali (AU)

Surrounded by emerald rice paddies, Ubud is a welcome breath of fresh air after the neon lights of Bali’s southern beaches. Renowned for its rich seams of Balinese culture, the pretty town is a great place to see traditional dances or shop for local art, wood carvings and silver jewellery. Movie buffs can seek out the locations featured in Eat Pray Love with Julia Roberts, which was filmed in and around Ubud.

Groupon Recommends
Step back in time with a stroll through Monkey Forest, where tangled ancient trees hide picturesque shrines and hundreds of monkeys. Take in one of Ubud’s traditional Legong, Kecak or Barong dances on one night. For a magical experience hire a scooter or cycle out to Petulu village in the late afternoon, to watch thousands of white herons return to their homes in the trees lining the village. There is a small café/bar surrounded by rice paddies where visitors can sit and watch the birds streaming in as the sun sets.



Local Amenities
The Mansion is situated in the artist community of Penestanan on the Sayan Ridge, just a few minutes’ drive from the centre of Ubud. There are two excellent eateries onsite, as well as an indulgent full-service spa. The friendly staff are more than happy to arrange hire cars, drivers or even bicycles for guests to get around.

 Reviews
 

I had an absolutely fantastic stay at the Mansion. This hotel is wonderful in pretty much every way : huge gardens with so many beautiful water ponds, 3 swimming-pools and one plunge pool, where our kids had great fun ! Rooms are large, confortable and very well equipped. What made our stay even more special was the staff, they all immediately learned my name and were so courteous and helpful. They also noted that our flight would leave early the following morning so they arranged the breakfast staff to come a little earlier so that we could get something to eat before we left.

The grounds were breathtaking! Everything was so beautiful. There were many swimming pools and places to lounge and rest around the different pools. Very relaxing atmosphere. There is a shuttle that provides complimentary drop-offs and pick-ups to/from the center of town, which was very convenient. The breakfast had both hot and cold items, including an egg station
