Alam Jiwa Ubud

Staying at this hotel is my main reason for going to Ubud. I have been fascinated by this hotel and its staff for almost 20 years now. Whenever I go, I am greeted by the warm smiles of the same members, and when I enter the beautifully maintained garden, I feel like I am back home. This is my second home. This was my first time staying at Jaytayu, a single-story villa. When I entered the private gate, there was a large garden and a large terrace, and it was great to have a nap on the daybed near the pond. From the gazebo in the garden, I could see the neighboring rice fields. This garden is only accessible to Jaytayu guests, so privacy is completely maintained. There was a seating area in the room that gave me a feeling of old Japan, and I was able to relax in my room. The shower room outside also has a sense of openness, which makes me feel like I am at a resort in Bali. As always, the breakfast is plentiful and delicious. It has changed little by little since I first stayed there, and I felt the passage of time in the fact that the croissants have improved in taste. When I go to Ubud again, I will definitely stay at this hotel. There is no other choice.

Our stay in Alam Jiwa Ubud was amazing!! We loved this hotel, the room was beautiful and the views over the rice field were lovely. The outdoor shower was very cool. Breakfast was served to our room to eat on the balcony every morning but the main reason that our stay was so good was the incredible staff. They went over and above to ensure we were comfortable and taken care of at all times. The free shuttle service into Ubud was very convenient. We highly recommend this hotel

What a wonderful experience! One of the nicest hotels we’ve stayed in. We were taking a few days to relax between two action-packed parts of our vacation and Alam Jiwa was a great place to relax and unwind. The entire staff is helpful and friendly. We loved our room (Hanoman) so much that we could barely tear ourselves away. We spent hours on our verandah taking in the sights and sounds and just relaxing. One evening we did take advantage of the shuttle service to attend a performance in Ubud but were more than happy to come back to the quieter vibe of Alam Jiwa. It is fun to stroll and explore the nearby village too. My guess would be that the second floor rooms are nicer as you catch a breeze.

Alam Jiwa is a hidden gem in Ubud. The staff's kindness and constant availability made our stay truly special. The spacious rooms seamlessly blend with nature, offering a serene retreat. Waking up to natural sounds was pure bliss. For an authentic Bali experience, this place is a must. It captures Ubud's essence perfectly. Whether you seek nature, culture, or tranquillity, it delivers. Our stay was exceptional; we can't wait to return. We highly recommend it!

We have stayed here 3 different times, and will come back whenever we visit Ubud. The rooms are beautiful, the grounds and views are lovely, the breakfasts are excellent, and the staff are very helpful and friendly. The location is perfect, quiet with great restaurants nearby, and easy access to the more noisy and bustling parts of Ubud. Will be back!

This luxury hotel is all about the traditions and beauty of Bali. Every villa is a suite with a tranquil atmosphere and an eye for detail. Everything is presented as though it’s a work of art. Yellow marigolds are everywhere around the complex decorating Hindu statues that line the walkways to each villa. There are lily ponds and lots of lush greenery and flowers all around the property. The service is also incredible. Manik is one of the people who works in the reception area and he is extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. There is nothing he or any other employee won’t do to make your stay more enjoyable. They will arrange tours, dance shows, shuttles to and from town (free of charge!) and just about anything else you can think of. We also chose to have breakfast included in our stay and are very happy we did. We could have it delivered to our room or eat at the reception area. We always chose our room and sat on the balcony overlooking a stream and jungle. It was the perfect way to begin each day. We cannot recommend Alam Jiwa enough! We hope to return someday and stay longer. It’s a true gem.
