"Ubud, Love it or hate it the area is unique. Among the vast properties to choose from I found this location and never being in the area before I took a chance. I was highly surprised and amazed from the first step I took in the place. Now, the road to there is old and partially a dirt road but it is quiet and peaceful. You will hear nothing in your villa but the occasional Roster crowing or a phone ring here and there. I fell sick with Strep and the staff was constantly asking about me, asking if I needed to go to the clinic or send my partner on a pharmacy run. (FYI Anti-Biotics are sold over the counter here). The food here is amazing, fresh, high quality and organic. You get free breakfast with your stay, now it is not the "American" version of a stale donut or buffet style. Cooked to order to your specifications. The staff will go out of there way and there is a shuttle or your can call a taxi if needed. I would never want to stay near Ubud to where I can hear or smell that place but the outskirts of the village are amazing."

"This resort is beautiful, it has such a relaxed and comfortable vibe, the outdoor shower and bath were amazing and so relaxing in the evenings under the stars. "

"But the staff honestly make this resort unforgettable. They are all such kind souls and make your stay feel so personal. They listen and go out of their way to make you happy. I'd recommend this resort to anyone who wants a relaxing holiday. "

"Our butler Adi was brilliant he was so interesting to chat with and made sure we were always happy, we went away feeling like he was a friend. And he was always so happy and laughing which was just so lovely to be around. "

"Purana is an amazing resort and I couldn't recommend them more!"

"We got the Laksmana villa with a private pool. The villa is so beautiful, located about 5-8min drive from the centre of Ubud. It's so beautiful and quiet with rice fields surrounding the resort. The breakfast and complimentary afternoon tea is awesome. It was my partners first time and I wanted to make sure his first trip was special.. and Purana certainly delivered. "

"The staff are exceptional, even compared to 5 star resorts in Seminyak which we stayed in after did not compare in service. "

"Tude, Putri and Nita... thank you for making our stay so unforgettable.. WE MISS YOU ALREADY!! We cannot wait to come back for our honey moon!! "

"Thank you thank you thank you!"

"My 5 night stay at Purana was one of the best holidays I've ever had. The team were lovely (a special thanks to Adi, Putri, Agus and Dedrik for making my stay so special!)"

"I stayed in a one bedroom villa that featured beautiful Balinese design and a gorgeous private pool. One of my favourite things was the outdoor shower - who doesn't want to shower surrounded by greenery and butterflies!"

"Although 10 mins drive from central Ubud, I liked the peace and quiet and being surrounded by true Balinese culture. I hope it doesn't become too developed for tourism and lose the rice paddies and village feel."

"The food was delicious, especially the Nasi Goreng. There were also many choices for breakfast and the only thing I missed was my daily lattes."

"I did private yoga in my garden each day and wish I'd taken the chance to do more of the included daily activities (basket weaving etc). next time for sure."

"I can't wait for my next visit to Purana."

"Staying at Purana was like staying with family that made me feel at home."

"I don't have enough words to praise ALL the staff. "

"I have to specially thank Putri for taking so much care of my needs every single day. I also have to thank Tude who taught me & my daughter so much about Bali culture, and all those who drove me wherever I had to go at the exact time I had to. It is obvious Ketut the manager works as a team member with all the staff to make sure Purana is a very unique hotel !"

"We have been to Bali a couple of times, each time focusing on different areas. This time, we decided to stay in Ubud for 6 nights. Initially we didn't even make a reservation here, but after a rather disappointing experience in a resort elsewhere, we immediately cancelled our remaining nights' stay and found Purana. "

"Service: Excellent!! From the moment we stepped foot into the resort's van on the day of check-in, till the last day when we were dropped off at the airport..everything was just perfect. Our special thanks namely to: Tude, Nita and Puteri. All the other staff were amazing too but we didn't manage to get their names. "

"Food: All meals can be requested to be sent to your villa. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all great with enough variety. "

"Location: It takes about 10 mins to get to Ubud town by their shuttle, every 2 hours."

"Villa: Huge villa with good pool and patio area. Comfortable bed, big toilet with bathtub and outdoor shower. "

"Wifi: Excellent. "

"Overall a highly recommended villa to stay at when in Ubud!"

"I just came back from an amazing trip to Bali with my cousin and had to review Purana. It was truly the best hotel experience I've had anywhere in the world....and I've stayed at many high end places that cost thousands per night all around the world. The resort is so so beautiful, just as pictured. We had a one bedroom villa with a private pool. The room was spacious and the pool was wonderful. All the plantings around the resort are so lush and beautiful, its exactly what I imagined Bali to be. I honestly can't think of anything additional I would have wanted in my villa that would have added to my experience. We did yoga one morning, which was so relaxing. The instructor comes to your villa for the one-on-one complimentary session. Breakfast was also included. The night before, you can order your breakfast and specify when you want it delivered to your room. Each morning was had the most delicious fresh fruit, juice, coffee/tea and our choice of western or asian style breakfast. Everything was so fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. The resort is just a short drive from the center of Ubud with lots of restaurants and shops. A free shuttle will drop you off and pickup. This made it extremely convenient getting around town. One day we hired Tude, one of the staff members to take us around. I told him that I was interested in shopping art and home decor items and he knew exactly where to go, some places off the beaten path so I got the best prices. The fee was so reasonable, at about $7.50/hour. He even helped me find a box and packaging tape to bring everything that I bought back home. Each villa is assigned a concierge. Nita was ours and she was so sweet and attentive. One afternoon she taught us how to make a traditional floral offering and explained the significance of what goes into the offering. Then she took us on a tour of the rice paddies. We had a driver for that as well. The trek was so peaceful and beautiful, pictures will not do it justice. Its a must do! We got caught in the rain during our trek and it added to our experience because it forced us to stop at one of the many shacks to buy a drink and gave us an opportunity to ask the farmers questions. Then we took at tour of a Luwak coffee plantation. In my opinion, that is one I would skip. I didn't think the coffee tasted very good (but then again, I am really a tea drinker so I am biased) and I didn't like seeing the poor Civet Cats caged up. They were pacing back and forth in the small cage and as I understand, are never allowed to roam free. The place was also very buggy, I had a ton of bites from being there for just 20 minutes. Anyways, back to the hotel. The service is second to none. One day I left my book on the lounge chair outside and left to go to town. It started pouring so I thought my book was toast. When I got back, to my surprise, my book was safe and dry. The staff came to put all the cushions and my book away in anticipation of the storm. Everyone is extremely attentive and warm. I would love to return and bring my family with me next time. Ubud is so beautiful and Purana is the perfect resort to stay and enjoy all that Ubud has to offer!"

"'ve stayed at a lot of hotels and resorts, this was the first time I've felt sad leaving!"

"We stayed 6 nights and from the beginning the staff made us feel like part of the family. "

"We booked the 1Br villa with private pool and it was incredible. Clean, modern and so luxurious. Breakfast in our room by the pool every morning, lots of variety with breakfast options!"

"The resort is about 3km away from Ubud center so it's quiet but the regular shuttle goes in every 2h and drops you right at the heart, they're pretty flexible with the shuttle also."

"There's lots of activities within the resort, the cooking class with chef Gusti and Adi was awesome, so much food!"

"The cycling tour is HIGHLY recommended, a beautiful way to explore the rice paddies and countryside. Having a personal chaser car makes you feel like your on The Tour"

"We felt so well taken care of, the staff are so attentive and their attention to detail rivals those at 5 star resorts that cost 10x the price!"

"Putri, August and all the staff made us feel so special for our trip but a special mention to Adi, he made our holiday once in a lifetime and we'll never forget his smiling face and warm personality. What a gem!"
