Villa Bayad

We had a fantastic week here despite bad weather. It’s clear the owners stay heavily involved in this property. It’s beautifully designed with a real attention to detail. Lush and peaceful, it’s a beautiful retreat. Koman was very helpful. The star though is Putu whose cooking is exceptional. We’d happily book again

The facilities are brilliant (especially for the price point!) - everything was spacious, with the sound of trickling water throughout. Staff are friendly and everything will be delivered to your room. Breakfast was satisfactory (admittedly nothing to write home about), and the main meal options were either cooked in-house or delivered - and all were good to great. We chose this villa specifically as it was a little bit outside of Ubud itself - relaxing and tranquil if you're looking for some downtime. The villa operates a free shuttle throughout the day to get into Ubud (15min with normal traffic, 30min if traffic is feeling particularly Balinese!), however be aware if you want to stay in Ubud for dinner or show you will need to pay for a taxi to get back, as the free shuttle is day only.
