A very different resort. An Oasis of quiet and serenity, only minutes from the hustle and bustle of Ubud, the cultural and artistic heart of Bali. You will stay in one of sixteen individualistic and distinctive dwelling units, scattered down the gentle hillside flanked by rice fields.

You enjoy privacy, quiet and comfort, in a beautiful setting that encourages you to forget the world; to let your mind relax; to stimulate your creative spirit. From every window, every door, you look out onto your own private view across the seemingly endless rice fields.

Everywhere at Waka Di Ume, you are surrounded by the textures and colours of nature; dressed slate; tiles; smooth unpainted wood; soft homespun fabrics; intricately worked copper; fragrant alang-alang grass roofing; natural bamboo; rough cut stone; flowers and foliage.

The food served will delight you, both for its taste and freshness, and for the style of its presentation. You will dine on traditional Balinese dishes and fruits in a restaurant in the sky, with views over the coconut palms across the field to the distant horizon.

Indulge your self. Relax in the cooling shade beside the temple-like swimming pools, or pamper your body with a deeply relaxing traditional Balinese massage. There is even a quiet place, the meditation centre, like a chapel, where you can go to absorb the peace and tranquility of the "house in the rice fields"!

Waka Di Ume Resort
This special place has been designed from the very outset to be "a different kind of resort" only a minutes from Ubud center. Waka di Ume has been operated since 1995. To begin with, it has been designed to be small and intimate; only sixteen dwellings eleven in the lanai style, two villas and three suites. It is an escape from the modern world. Away from television, away from radio, and even away from telephone, if you wish.
