The Kayon, Ubud, Bali

For the charm of utter seclusion, this 5-star hotel outside Ubud is a peaceful retreat with Balinese hospitality for yoga, spa and meditation.

Herman inspected this 5-star, small, charming hotel set amidst the forest of central Bali. It is located close enough to Ubud for a day visit or evening dinner, but far enough to be isolated from the hustle and bustle of Bali’s tourism hub. The Kayon also features pool villas, deluxe suites and a high quality spa. Practicing generous Balinese hospitality, the management and staff are gracious and friendly.

Besides the spa, there is swimming and a large, open-air yoga platform. The charm is the utter seclusion of this peaceful accommodation.
