Jannata Resort & Spa – A Serene Jungle Escape in Ubud

From the moment we arrived at Jannata Resort & Spa, it was clear this was more than just a place to stay—it’s a tranquil sanctuary designed for relaxation, connection, and unforgettable moments. Nestled in the rural village of Sebali, just 15 minutes from Ubud center, the resort offers stunning valley and jungle views while remaining wonderfully secluded from the city’s hustle and bustle.

Our home for three nights was the 2-bedroom pool villa, shared with three friends. The villa is beautifully designed, spacious, and perfectly appointed for a group stay. The bedrooms were upstairs, with a comfortable lounger bed area, and we accessed our private pool and chill area via stairs—a lovely spot to relax, enjoy drinks, or soak in the lush valley views. The villa also featured an air-conditioned lounge and bar room stocked with drinks, plus a guest bathroom, which made it ideal for four adults. The layout provided privacy while offering shared spaces to hang out, making it perfect for a friends’ getaway.

Despite the rain, we made the most of our stay. One of my favorite experiences was a Balinese massage in the couples’ spa room, where my therapist, Ketut, was incredibly sweet and attentive. It was the perfect indulgence, and the serene ambiance of the spa made it even more relaxing. We also loved the yoga shala, where guests can enjoy morning sessions amidst the lush surroundings—a calming way to start the day.

The resort itself is designed to harmonize with Bali’s rich cultural heritage and is inherently romantic. From the infinity swimming pool to the infinity pond, it’s no surprise that Jannata is a popular choice for engagements, romantic dinners, and weddings. Every corner feels intimate, making it a perfect escape for couples or groups looking to create lasting memories. Even in the rain, the resort’s ambiance and views are magical.

Meals at Amateras were enjoyable and added a lovely touch to our stay. Breakfast was a la carte, with French toast and omelettes standing out, alongside freshly made watermelon juice and lattes, which were divine. For dinner, we tried samosas and spring rolls, the chicken Pad Thai (my favorite), and the chocolate lava cake, which was a perfect indulgence to end the evening. We also enjoyed a strawberry daiquiri and a mojito, both absolutely delicious. Another thoughtful touch was the daily afternoon tea, served with snacks and your choice of tea or coffee at Amateras—perfect for a mid-afternoon break.

The staff made our stay even more special. Krisna, our waitress, was so friendly and attentive; Tri, the receptionist, was informative and helpful, assisting us with bookings and local recommendations. Their warmth and professionalism added a personal touch that made our stay feel truly welcoming.

Jannata Resort & Spa is ideal for friends, couples, honeymooners, or anyone seeking a peaceful, romantic, and luxurious escape in Ubud. Between the private villa, stunning jungle views, spa indulgence, yoga, exceptional dining at Amateras, and the thoughtful, attentive staff, our stay was relaxing, memorable, and perfectly balanced. Even a little rain couldn’t dampen the magic of this secluded paradise.
