The perfection is a simple world to our experience in the Resort. The staff was beyond the amazing and extremely helpful. The service was super fast. The place was heaven on earth. I would of course recommed it. I even request an iron in my room they brought it, while it wasnt listed in the options of the room. Words wont express the happiness that they brought to my family especially my daughter. Book without even thinking. Receptionist will support you with whatever you wish for, I’m serious whatever you wish for(The medium aged girl receptionist). Definitely 10 rating stars

“Great venue and lovely staff”

What a lovely place! Surrounded by jungle but still only minutes away from town. The food is pretty ordinary but the venue more than makes up for it. The staff are absolutely lovely and always polite and helpful. Nice large room with own private pool and outside bathroom. I highly recommend a stay … more

We stayed here for 4 nights with our 2 young daughters (13 and 8). Natura is a place like no other. From the moment you arrive following the hustle and bustle of driving through Ubud village, you are greeted by an immersive calm. Nature is here and present in every aspect of Natura. Everything is open air, no walls or air conditioning (except for your room) to detract from the full experience. The fish pond at reception houses many large goldfish and one resident 14yo Catfish. You may be lucky and offered a chance to feed them. The welcome drink is icy and refreshing, and indeed most welcome as you greet the humid environment of the jungle. Once you check in, you are taken on a personal tour of the key aspects of the resort - the open air restaurant, where they serve complimentary afternoon tea each day from 3-5pm, and the pool and spa area below. Natura is built into the hillside, so it has many inclines - some steep but well-guarded - and a fair few steps (pool/spa and depending on which villa you are in). You are then escorted to your villa, where the airconditioners have been turned on in anticipation of your arrival and your luggage brought in for you. You can close the outer entrance to your villa if you want additional privacy (although we didn’t and didn’t see a single person come into our grounds) and are invited to explore the resort at your leisure should you wish. The family villa is well-apportioned. Massive master bedroom and lounge with en-suite including marble bathtub that fit the 4 of us! Canopy mosquito netting on the king bed and 2x single beds in the secondary room. The villa comes with an Illy espresso pod machine with some pods and 6 water bottles which are replaced daily. There is a kettle and instant tea and coffee provided. No other cooking facilities and the fridge is a mini-fridge stored beneath the TV. They also provide insect spray should creepy crawlies get in, but we only needed to use this once. Breakfast is included from a set menu with Balinese tea and coffee. You can order espresso coffee for an additional cost (about 50k with tax/service). The restaurant has a simple yet varied menu catering to a few different tastes with a mix of Indonesian and western dishes - see photos. Unfortunately for us, it was rainy weather most of our stay so we didn’t make the most of our villa plunge pool as it was far too cold. The main infinity pool was also cold but the girls enjoyed it more as could play freely and look at the valley while you do. It is truly a place of tranquility - you can hear nothing of the busy-ness of Ubud. The pool decking is quite weathered with some questionable areas but they were easy enough to avoid. The on-site spa is well priced for a resort, and you get discounts for attending multiple days. We took advantage of this and had a couple of beautiful Balinese massages overlooking the valley. It is required to book in advance and my tip is to clearly articulate your requirements (e.g. if booking for 2 people you must specify you want done at the same time) - we booked 2 pedicures wanting them done together and they only organised 1 therapist who said would do back-to-back. Our program didn’t allow this so we cancelled and rescheduled to a massage for another day. There is also a small boutique shop next to the spa that stocks linen, activewear and swimwear - mostly for women. Although the monkey forest is some distance away, the valley has a family of resident macaques and Natura is well placed to receive some cheeky visitors. One evening, they scurried through the restaurant edges and partook in one of the offerings near the coffee machine (Barista Monkey). Another morning they scuttled through the resort rooftops and gave us a big hello as they walked past our villa - mama and baby monkeys in trail. It was a once-in-a-lifetime nature experience and we were so fortunate to have seen them so close. Natura offers a thrice daily shuttle service to Ubud town centre - 10am, 2pm and 5pm. With return shuttles 20mins after departure. Although Natura is about 20mins away from the town centre, sometimes traffic congestion is heavy and it can take 30-40 mins to get in so good to factor this additional time if needing to be somewhere by a particular timeframe. There were some minor inconveniences which are worth mentioning for improvements: 1. some days our coffee pods and some toiletries weren’t refilled - on our first day we had 4 pods, second day only 2 pods, third day only 2 pods, days 4 and 5 no replenishment (understandably on day 5 as we were checking out this day). For adults who enjoy coffee, we missed being able to have 2 cups a day in the comfort of our villa. Also the coffee machine had the function to steam milk but no milk jug (or milk!) was provided. 2. it would be good to have a slightly larger fridge (small square bar fridge for family of 4 was just not big enough for our needs - also missed having a functional freezer section to make our own ice blocks for drinks - the one in our fridge was iced over). 3. It would be better to have a filtered water dispenser unit as opposed to small bottles each day, especially when stores are some distance away. Overall, our stay at Natura exceeded our expectations. Although we were advised the place was fully booked, we rarely saw other guests during our stay (usually just at breakfast and even then, the most was 2 other tables!) and it felt like we had the entire property to ourselves. We would rate this place as 4.5 stars but could easily improve to 5 stars with minor upgrades and additional considerations and hope to be able to return to Natura on our next Bali holiday and take more advantage of everything it has to offer!
