Blue Karma Dijiwa Ubud

Our second room was absolutely gorgeous- the decor was just beautiful. We also loved relaxing around the inifinity pool in the afternoon and dining in the open air restaurant. We really liked the location as it was about 3km out of Ubud (which was crazy busy!) We particulary enjoyed walking along the pathway (30-40minute walk) through the rice fields into Ubud each day as you could watch the local Balinese people working in the fields. Sometimes we chose to book the complimentary shuttle into or back from Ubud when it was too hot! Also the resort staff invited us to one of their special local ceremonies and we even enjoyed a festive lunch with the staff. It was a very memorable experience. Lastly the complimentary massage in their resort spa was divine- the best we had whilst in Bali!

Located on the outskirts of Ubud, this gorgeous hotel / villas invites you into a world that feels both timeless and grounded—a harmonious blend of nature, culture, and thoughtful design. Situated in a traditional village, the property offers views that inspire a quiet awe, a reminder of the enduring beauty found in simplicity. The bungalows, constructed from natural materials, embody an understated elegance, providing comfort while connecting you to the environment in an almost meditative way. Every detail has been considered, from the serene swimming pool that seems to dissolve into the surrounding landscape to the multipurpose hall—a space that invites exploration of movement, stillness, and creativity alike. The spa, a sanctuary within this sanctuary, offers massages and treatments that seem to align body and spirit, delivered with a care that feels personal, even restorative. At the heart of this experience is the staff—attentive yet unobtrusive, their hospitality a quiet affirmation of human connection. The restaurant is equally remarkable, offering a vast and varied menu that astonishes not only with its range but with the consistent quality of each dish. Indeed, it is not uncommon to see guests arriving from other locales, drawn by the reputation of its culinary excellence. Beyond the property’s edges lies the rhythm of the village: markets where fresh fruit and local goods await, and rice fields that invite a tranquil jog or a contemplative stroll. It is a setting that encourages reflection, not by imposing silence but by offering a space where life feels unhurried and intentional. For those seeking a balance between activity and repose, this is more than a destination—it is an experience of living well. Here, one is reminded that calm and vitality are not opposites but companions, each enriching the other in the most unexpected ways.

This resort is really something very special. We booked the room mimpi which had the hanging hammock. The jungle views were amazing. The room is very beautiful and decor fabulous, the bathroom is down stairs and huge with shampoo, conditioner, soaps, toothbrush etc supplied. Room is beautiful and cool. It’s a real little oasis. Room is huge with comfy bed and pillows. Staff went above and beyond with service. Food is delicious. It’s about 20 mins to town and has a shuttle bus leaving every hour until 8pm into Ubud town. Half hour notice. The grounds were superb. 10/10

There is not much to like about this property. Set more at the top of Ubud it is extremely peaceful. The pool is amazing and a great restaurant and plenty of cabanas around the garden to lounge around in.

I absolutely loved my stay at Blue Karma! My room was spacious with a beautiful view of lush greenery. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the open bathroom, with its stunning dark tiles, was just perfect. The swimming pool was a wonderful spot to relax, and the restaurant offered exceptional service and delicious food. Although it’s only 10-15 minutes from town, the location was ideal for me as I was seeking peace and tranquility, and this place delivered that in abundance. The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure a fantastic experience. I can’t recommend Blue Karma enough – it’s a true haven of relaxation!
