Villa Resort in Ubud - Kamandalu Bali, Indonesia

Kamandalu Bali was a calm and comfortable stay, offering a peaceful break during our time in Ubud. While it did not stand out in the same way as some of Bali’s more unique or design driven stays, it delivered a reliable and relaxing experience. This is not a bamboo hotel, but a proper resort with private villas, traditional Balinese architecture, and a classic hotel atmosphere.

Everything was well maintained and thoughtfully arranged. The experience felt easy and restful, making it a good place to slow down after busy days exploring Ubud. Kamandalu is the kind of hotel that offers consistency, comfort, and tranquility, without trying to compete with more experimental or highly curated stays.

Location

Region: Ubud, Central Bali

Setting: Jungle valley surrounded by tropical greenery

Distance from Ubud center: Around 10 minutes by car

The location is one of Kamandalu’s strong points. You are very close to Ubud, which makes it convenient for exploring, yet once inside the resort it feels quiet and secluded. The jungle surroundings create a peaceful environment without feeling remote.

The Villa Experience

The villas at Kamandalu Bali are traditional and solid, offering comfort and privacy rather than an open or experimental design. If you prefer a fully enclosed villa instead of open air bamboo houses, this is a good option.

Our villa felt spacious and calm, with a layout that worked well for resting and recharging. The design leans toward classic Balinese style, which feels timeless and familiar rather than modern or bold. It is a comfortable space that allows you to relax without distraction.
