Uma by Como — Bali, Indonesia

Bali’s affinity for art, spirituality and striking natural beauty is all within good reason: this small Indonesian island has it in buckets. The Uma by Como in Ubud, sits at Bali’s heart and draws on its peaceful and culturally rich environment. The hotel comprises a series of modern rooms that hint at the local vernacular, the Como Shambhala Retreat that offers Asian-inspired wellness treatments, and a range of bespoke activities that ensure your stay will be a memorable one. The Italian flavours at Uma Cucina compliment the local food on offer, while on-site yoga sessions overlooking the surrounding valley will help offset the island’s many culinary temptations.
