CICADA LUXURY RESORT UBUD

Discover your own personal paradise and embrace the essence of eco luxury in the heart of Ubud.

THE LOCALE

Cicada Luxury Resort Ubud is a blissful jungle retreat near the village of Sebatu, located some 25 minutes north of Ubud in the foothills of Mount Batur. Set on a hillside above a sacred river, the adults-only ecoresort is surrounded by an emeraldgreen forest canopy that stretches as far as the eye can see. Also near at hand are the captivating Tegalalang rice terraces, one of Bali’s most photogenic destinations.

ROOMS

There are just 20 suites and 10 villas here, each with terrazzo floors, exquisitely crafted Balinesestyle wooden furnishings, and mesmerizing views. The former category weigh in at either 66 or 77 square meters, while the villas are almost twice as spacious and come with private pools.

FOOD

Tangelo, the resort’s fine-dining venue, serves a delightful à la carte breakfast, a range of fire-grilled and smoked dishes at lunchtime, and a 12-course dinner menu that seamlessly blends classic French techniques with contemporary influences. Adjacent to the main swimming pool, Verdant is a relaxed setting for leisurely drinking, featuring live music and an extensive selection of grill and tapas items. It also provides a serene venue for afternoon tea.

FACILITIES

The resort boasts a range of luxurious facilities designed to enhancing the guest experience. Apart from the 310-square-meter infinity pool, there’s Pravi Spa, a nature-inspired wellness haven that features hot and cold whirlpool tubs, three couple’s treatment rooms and one single room, a jacuzzi, and a sauna; there’s also an adjacent gym. A complimentary shuttle service to Ubud center is available for those looking to spend some time in town. Additionally, guests can participate in authentic Balinese activities such as making offerings and traditional dances, as well as cooking classes and yoga sessions led by experienced instructors.
