Unwind in Paradise: Adults-Only Luxury at The Studios Ubud, Bali
Unwind in Paradise: The Studios Ubud Review - Prepare for Bliss (Maybe with a Side of Minor Hiccups!)
Okay, so you're thinking about escaping to Bali? Smart move. But where in Bali? That's the real question. I'm going to spill the tea on The Studios Ubud, an adults-only sanctuary, hoping to help you decide if it's your slice of paradise. Buckle up, because this isn't your typical polished travel review. I'm going to be brutally honest, messy, and hopefully, helpful.
First Impressions - The Vibe is Everything, Right?
From the moment you arrive, the Studios Ubud screams "chill." Forget the screaming kids and the endless buffet queues. This place is designed for you. Adults. Relaxation. The air practically hums with tranquility. The architecture is stunning, a blend of modern and Balinese design. Think clean lines, lush greenery, and a pervading sense of calm.
(Accessibility: Okay, so I'm not wheelchair-bound, but I did notice the elevators, and the pathways seemed pretty well-maintained. They do have Facilities for disabled guests listed, so I assume they've considered accessibility. But I'd suggest getting in touch directly if this is a major concern. Better safe than sorry, right?)
The Rooms: Your Personal Oasis
Let's be real, the rooms are gorgeous. We're talking Air conditioning, Blackout curtains, Bathtubs, Bathrobes, and that all-important Free Wi-Fi (in all rooms, praise be!). I loved the Seating area – perfect for sipping coffee and planning your day of… well, not much of anything. The Complimentary tea and Free bottled water were a nice touch, and the Mini bar was stocked with temptations. (Whispers: I may have gotten a little too friendly with the Bintang…)
Here's where it gets slightly messy…
My room had an Interconnecting room option. Now, at first I thought, "Cool! Extra space!" But then I realized there's a door connecting the rooms. And while the Soundproofing was generally good, I did hear a couple of muffled conversations. Thankfully, nothing scandalous, but if you're a super light sleeper, request a room without that connection.
(Available in all rooms: Additional toilet, Alarm clock, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Window that opens, all present and correct.)
Let's Talk Food, Glorious Food!
The Studios Ubud nails the dining scene. Restaurants abound, offering a variety of choices. The Asian breakfast was phenomenal. Think fresh fruit, fluffy omelets, and the most delicious Indonesian coffee I've ever tasted. There's also Breakfast [buffet] and Western breakfast options, so you’re covered whatever you chose. Several Restaurants offer both International cuisine and Asian cuisine, I spent one particularly glorious afternoon devouring a plate of perfectly cooked Pad Thai at the Poolside bar. Seriously, people watching while I was sipping my cocktail was a highlight. I'd recommend doing the same.

Now, the Safe dining setup and Sanitized kitchen and tableware items are comforting, especially now. They clearly take hygiene seriously, and that includes Individually-wrapped food options. This is an advantage that makes you feel less worried.
Pools, Spas, and All That Good Stuff
Okay, this is where the Studios Ubud truly shines. They've got a gorgeous Swimming pool [outdoor] and a Pool with view that's simply Instagram-worthy. I spent hours lounging by the pool, soaking up the sun.
But the real magic happens at the spa. The Spa experience was incredible.I’m talking a full-body Massage, a Body scrub, and a Body wrap. The Sauna and Steamroom were divine, too. Getting the Foot bath was a simple but lovely detail. My biggest regret is that I didn't book more treatments! It was pure, unadulterated bliss. If you're going to splurge on anything, splurge on the spa. Seriously, do it.

Cleanliness and Safety: Because, Let's Be Real, It Matters
I'm a stickler for cleanliness, especially these days! The Studios Ubud is a winner. They're clearly on top of their game. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays, Staff trained in safety protocol, and Hand sanitizer everywhere… they’re taking things seriously. The Check-in/out [express] and Contactless check-in/out were seamless. I felt super comfortable the whole time.

Things to Do - (Or Not To Do!):
Okay, this is where you decide how to best spend your time. You can do very little and find joy in that. You could sit by the pool all day (highly recommended). You could explore Ubud, known for its rice paddies, temples, and monkey forest (but, you know, monkeys). The Studios Ubud offers Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], and Taxi service, so getting around is easy. I spent a day exploring the city, but honestly? Coming back to the Studios was always the best part.

The Verdict: Should You Book?
Absolutely! The Studios Ubud is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a peaceful, luxurious escape. It's the perfect place to recharge, pamper yourself, and forget about the real world. The staff are lovely, the food is delicious, and the spa is pure magic.
But here's the brutally honest truth: It's not perfect. There were a few minor hiccups (read: the interconnected room and the occasional traffic noise). However, those tiny things are nothing when weighed against the overall experience of pure, unadulterated relaxation.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your sanitized travel brochure. We're going to The Studios Ubud (Adult Only, bless the gods) and it's gonna be… well, let's see if it's amazing, shall we? Here's the battle plan, or rather, my attempt at a cohesive schedule that'll likely fall apart faster than a beach volleyball on a windy day:
The Studios Ubud - My Slightly Unhinged Bali Adventure (Lord, Have Mercy)
Day 1: Arrival, Bliss, and the Unavoidable Mosquito
- 10:00 AM (Bali Time - which, let's be honest, is really "whenever the hell you think you’re ready" time): Touchdown at Denpasar Airport (DPS). The air hits you like a warm, humid hug. Or maybe that's just the jet lag whispering sweet nothings in my ear. I'm already sweating, and I haven't even seen my luggage. Note to self: pack deodorant immediately.
- 11:00 AM: Taxi to The Studios Ubud. Negotiating the price felt like a full-blown negotiation with a used car salesman, but hey, I got a decent deal (I think). The drive is bonkers – scooters weaving, shrines popping up everywhere, and the overwhelming scent of incense and something vaguely… floral? I'm already in love.
- 12:00 PM: Check-in. The lobby has this effortless chic thing going on. White walls, lush greenery, and the staff – they're too ridiculously polite. They're probably thinking, "Another one of these tourists…" But I'm trying, god I'm trying.
- 12:30 PM: Settle into my villa. Oh. My. God. The plunge pool is calling my name. And the mosquito net? Crucial battle equipment, clearly. Rant about the mosquito: I’m already plotting their demise.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch at the hotel restaurant. Nasi goreng, duh. It's mandatory. It's also ridiculously delicious. The first bite, a moment of pure bliss, then I realized I was already sweating again. Bali is the ultimate sauna.
- 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Pool time! Soaking up the sun, reading, and trying to mentally prepare myself for the inevitable sunburn. This is also where I discover I have a slight aversion to wearing a hat when trying to photograph myself, because apparently, a hat makes me immediately want to be someone else.
- 6:00 PM: The infamous "romantic" dinner at the hotel restaurant. It's lovely. But the crickets are louder than my thoughts. I’m starting to feel myself be swallowed whole by the beautiful and exotic ambiance of this place.
- 7:00 PM: Attempt to walk around the room but I find myself exhausted. Decided to turn in for the night.
Day 2: Yoga Fail, Jungle Glamour, and the Quest for the Perfect Smoothie
- 7:00 AM: Wake up early for the yoga class. Epic fail alert. I can't touch my toes, my balance is questionable, and I'm pretty sure I was the only one grunting audibly the entire time. The instructor, bless her serene soul, didn't bat an eyelid. I, however, nearly fell over during a downward-facing dog.
- 8:30 AM: Breakfast. The fruit! The pastries! The coffee! My stomach is doing a happy dance.
- 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM: A massage. This is the best decision I've made in weeks. The therapist worked miracles on my stressed-out shoulders. Deep tissue bliss. I think I may have drooled a little. Don't judge.
- 12:00 PM: Wandering around Ubud. The madness begins! The shops! The art! The scooters! It's a sensory overload, but in the best possible way.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch, somewhere. Somewhere with the perfect smoothie. Okay, maybe that's too much to ask. But a smoothie is the quest of the day. I'm on a mission. I go into one of the most beautiful restaurants in the world. The place is called The Sawah Terrace. It is the epitome of tropical romanticism. The place makes me feel like a movie star. I had a perfect smoothie.
- 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM: Back to the pool. Now I'm totally content with my surroundings. The sunlight dances across the clear water.
- 6:00 PM: Trying to watch the sunset. Failed attempt again. I had left my phone in the open for too long… The picture was ruined. I was too late.
- 7:30 PM: Dinner. A small restaurant called Warung Babi Guling Ibu Oka. There's nothing to say. I was craving the food.
- 9:00 PM: Back to hotel. I am too tired to wander around.
Day 3: Culture Shock, Monkey Business, and the Reality of the Laundry Pile
- 8:00 AM: Sleep in! I am starting to adjust to the time zone.
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast. I think I get used to the buffet.
- 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM: Visit the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary. This is where things get real. Monkeys everywhere! They're cute, they're cheeky, and they're definitely sizing you up for a snack. Important note: DO NOT look them in the eye and DO NOT hold anything in your hands. Also, I witnessed a monkey steal a lady's sunglasses and then try to eat them. That was hilarious.
- 1:00 PM: I’m losing myself… I think I need to return to my villa.
- 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Trying to enjoy my private pool. I started to think about my laundry pile. It is a sad thought.
- 4:00 PM: Exploring the grounds of The Studios Ubud. I am starting to be more comfortable with my surroundings.
- 6:00 PM: In-house dinner. The food is exceptional here.
- 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM: I try to take a bath. Suddenly the water run out. The maid fixes the issue. The staff is so supportive. I'm starting to feel pampered.
Day 4: The Volcano, Broken Heels, and Letting Go
- 7:00 am: Last breakfast here. I feel sad.
- 8:00 AM: Check out. Final goodbye to my beautiful villa.
- 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM: I go for a long walk. I decide to take my shoes off and walk bare foot, it is freeing.
- 10:00 AM: I buy some Souvenirs.
- 11:00 AM: The taxi arrives.
Final Thoughts:
This trip was… well, it was Bali. It was messy, beautiful, frustrating, and completely unforgettable. I didn’t stick to the schedule, I ate too much, I got too little sleep, and I may or may not have slightly lost my mind at multiple points. But it was real. It was honest. And it was, despite the mosquito bites and the inevitable sunburn, absolutely incredible. I can't wait to come back, with a hat. And maybe extra bug spray. And maybe a stronger tolerance for downward-facing dogs.
