Anantara Ubud Bali Resort
Payangan, north of Ubud, Ubud
Hotel in Ubud, Indonesia
Book with PearlWhy go
A strong Ubud shortlist pick for travelers who want a calmer Payangan-area resort stay with credible recognition rather than constant town access. The 2025 National Geographic Hotel Awards win helps justify consideration, especially for value-seekers comparing service consistency against more dramatic jungle or wellness-led peers.
About Anantara Ubud Bali Resort
In Ubud’s resort belt, where the choice is often between jungle drama, wellness seclusion, and easier town access, this is a sensible shortlist pick for value-focused travelers who want a polished resort stay without making the setting feel like the whole point. Book it if the priority is a calm base around Payangan with recognizable luxury standards and a service-led stay; skip it if the trip depends on being able to walk in and out of central Ubud all day.
The strongest case is the balance: Anantara Ubud Bali Resort gives travelers a quieter northern position, a resort format, and enough external recognition to justify considering it against more theatrically positioned Ubud stays. The National Geographic Hotel Awards win in 2025 is the cleanest trust signal here, especially useful for guests comparing Bali hotels where marketing language can blur the actual difference between a retreat, villa resort, and destination wellness property.
Choose it for calm service over Ubud-center convenience
The location at Jl. Raya Puhu Payangan puts the stay outside the densest part of Ubud, which is good for lower ambient noise and a slower resort rhythm, but less convenient for spontaneous meals, galleries, or bar-hopping. Travelers who want a broader scan should compare it with Our full Ubud hotels guide, then cross-check nearby alternatives like Alila Ubud, Amandari, and COMO Shambhala Estate if wellness depth or heritage matters more than brand predictability.
Who should book, and who should keep looking
This is a better fit for couples, resort-first travelers, and guests who value staff consistency over being in the middle of town. For a more design-forward Ubud stay, compare Bisma Eight Ubud or Capella Ubud, Bali. For a lighter, more local-feeling option, look at Adiwana Suweta, Chapung Sebali, or Bumi Kinar Ubud.

How It Compares
Anantara Ubud Bali Resort is the pragmatic choice in this set: easier to justify for travelers who want a polished resort rhythm, a quieter Ubud-area setting, and credible award recognition without making the stay feel overly remote. It is easier to frame as a value decision than Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape, which is better for guests prioritizing a more immersive retreat format over convenience.
Hanging Gardens of Bali is the stronger pick if the trip is built around visual drama and a destination-resort feel. Samsara Ubud is the more natural cross-shop for travelers who want Ubud atmosphere without committing to a major-name resort. Choose Anantara if service consistency and booking ease matter more than a highly stylized stay.
K Club Ubud suits travelers looking for a villa-style Ubud base with a different social energy. For a calmer, staff-led resort stay near Ubud, Anantara is the safer recommendation; for a more distinctive mood, compare K Club or Buahan before committing.

How is the location of Anantara Ubud Bali Resort?
The location is good if you want to stay outside the densest part of Ubud, because the address is Jl. Raya Puhu Payangan No.88, Puhu, Kec. Payangan, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80572, Indonesia. That makes it a better fit for guests who prefer a slower resort rhythm over walking access to the center, while Hanging Gardens of Bali and Samsara Ubud are the closer comparisons for a similar away-from-town setup.
When is the best time to book Anantara Ubud Bali Resort?
Book earlier if you want a quieter resort stay on a specific date, since an award-winning property in the Ubud area is more likely to draw couples and resort-first travelers.
