About the Hotel

If Royal Pita Maha feels unusually regal, there is good reason. This divine retreat is owned and managed by the royal family of Ubud, in Southeast Bali. With their lush landscaping, the Royal House, Royal Villas and Pool Villas are gracefully integrated into the setting of sweeping rice terraces, river gorges and tropical woodlands. Fodor's declares the accommodations "tastefully luxurious," and you will agree as you relish your own pool with views of the Ayung River and an overwhelming oneness with nature in this place of reflection, healing and serenity.

Reviews for The Royal Pita Maha

The most marvellous stay.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

As soon as we walked into the hotel we felt so welcome. The setting is perfect and the views breathtaking. Our villa was lovely and the pool was one of the nicest we have ever had. Swimming in there with the stunning view behind us was fabulous. The food in the hotel was also very good. We can recommend the breakfasts - I’m sure everyone would find something to like as the choice is very wide. Going down to the spa had quite a few steps but honestly was well worth it! Thank you to all the staff who made our stay so lovely. They could not do enough for us. We so loved staying here that we are already planning our return visit - but for longer this time!

Romantic escape

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 days ago

Location IS GREAT AND PERFECT, specially for couples and specially for those who loves privacy, All kinds of rooms are great, wether u got the forest view front side or further We had the presidential suite for our stay for my partner’s birthday and the visit before we had a regular room Loved both of them Staff are amazingly nice and they make sure that you are enjoying your stay You can ask them for a room that is away from families or something private for adults only or couples If you are not the type of person who is not fond of asian food Then i would recommend booking without board because the hotel serves only Indonesian food as it’s authentic place for Indonesian culture Personally im not a fan of asian food , so i was having only breakfast with the great view Didnt enjoy much dinner and went to eat outside as i like more international food I couldnt complain even as any other person could face small issues But the staff are amazing that they respond quickly to assist you and satisfy you I don’t recommend salads as im not sure how it’s washed but in Bali try your best to avoid anything with tab water I had bali belly during my stay from eating salad and lots of people around me advised me to avoid vegetables or tab water or ICE Pool is pretty cold better but cant complain as it’s ur own private pool I visited before june 24 but still loving it

Gorgeous hotel if you're fit, but fail on the basics

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

This is a stunningly beautiful resort spread over an enormous area on a hillside, abundance of art and beauty overflowing in all directions. The architects and designers designers have done a magnificent job creating an enchanted forest retreat, dotted with temples, koi ponds and with its own rice paddy. Yoga by the banks of the gushing Ayung river is a special highlight, as is their own natural sacred pool. The view from breakfast is also stunning. Unfortunately, the overall experience is let down by basics you expect to take for granted at a 5 star resort. I found communication to be very difficult here, both within the resort and with the outside world. Firstly, the wifi is appalling. Not only is it excruciatingly slow, it makes you type in the password every time you try to use it. When I first raised it at the front desk they said they'll get IT to look into it. Nothing happened. Halfway through the trip after having to make an angry phone call they sent a specialist to the villa who rerouted my connection to make it much faster, but even then latency remained an issue, with the connection intermittently dropping off every few minutes. Other than at breakfast and the restaurants, communicating with the staff is also challenging. They mean well and are very polite and friendly, but are poorly trained and not up to a standard expected from a 5 star hotel. Special mention has to go to the man at the front desk who could not come up with a single restaurant recommendation in the city! Few speak English well, and instead of trying to understand what you're saying some try to second guess it, which can be frustrating. E.g. when I called to ask why housekeeping were spreading face towels from the sink, they just assumed I was asking to change towels even though I said no, and even sent someone to do so. The sprawling size of the resort also means it can be inconvenient to go from one end to another, and involves going up and down very steep hills. I didn't mind this as it is good exercise, but I definitely would not recommend this for anyone with the slightest mobility issues. Going from my villa to breakfast involves a lot of stairs, and going to the yoga pavilion or the spa can take a while. Getting out of the resort is also not easy. They run a shuttle service, but only 3 times a day, which makes you wonder what's the point. So you have to book a taxi each time, which is also not smooth when the internet is down! The restaurants overall are also underwhelming compared to the high quality you can get in Bali. Choices are limited, though the one by the river has a magical ambience, as does Taman Dedari, though the poor communication meant I didn't know it existed until I asked someone where I can get some simple local cuisine in the hotel. Check out was also shambolic. They had no idea I was supposed to get 20% off as part of my Expedia booking, and when I showed it to the guy at reception, he awkwardly took my phone away to an office to show it to someone. They failed to honour the discount in the end and handled it in a way that did not leave me wanting to return. So all in all, this is a beautiful place but is badly let down by the basics. Nonetheless, if you're fit and healthy, want to completely switch off from the world and can put up with substandard service, I'd recommend it.

Royal Pita Maha was by far the highlight of our accommodations in Bali. The grounds were beautiful and the rooms graciously appointed. A perfect evening was spent on our villa balcony sipping a lovely sauvignon blanc as the sun slipped away behind the resort and a cool breeze reminded us of why we prefer the inland mountains to the coast. The staff was friendly, attentive and professional. They truly went above and beyond to assure that we will return to Ubud and Royal Pita Maha again.

We just returned from Bali and during our trip we stayed four nights at the Royal Pita Maha using a package we purchased through Luxury Link. What a fabulous place! Not only are the accommodations first class, but the service is outstanding. We've traveled all over the world and this is one of the best places we've ever stayed.

Royal Pita Maha in Bali was an amazing experience. The property is one of the most stunning we have ever experienced. The rooms are very large villas and each have a private infinity pool. The service was impeccable - the staff was warm, gentle and so attentive. Yoga by the river was so special. We spent almost 2 days just exploring the property. The grounds were stunning, food was wonderful and spa was the finest treatments we have ever enjoyed. The spa area is very private and takes place in a two story villa, a great couples retreat. Can't say enough good things about the property. Luxury Link visitors were considered very special and the extra services and amenities were a delight.
