Samsara Ubud, a small luxury boutique resort nestled in the tranquil village of Payangan, announces its recognition by the Michelin Guide 2025, receiving the prestigious ONE KEY distinction. This honor celebrates its dedication to hospitality, design and guest experience: embodying “Life’s Little Luxury.”
Designed by Popo Danes, Samsara Ubud blends Balinese heritage with modern elegance. Each of the 17 private pool villas is crafted to reflect a sense of place, serenity, and authenticity, where stories of Ubud’s natural beauty are whispered by every curve, texture, and vista.
At its heart lies a devotion to service, where every gesture and detail are genuine and warm. Guests are embraced as family, experiencing the balance of privacy and connection. Complementing this is the resort’s commitment to holistic wellness, offering spa treatments, traditional and infrared saunas, an ice bath experience, and daily rituals designed to nurture both body and spirit.
The Michelin Guide, globally known as the most respected authority in hospitality and gastronomy, introduced its “Keys” in 2024 to recognise the finest hotels and resorts around the world. The “Key” distinctions – ONE, TWO, or THREE – honor properties that deliver excellence in architecture, service, comfort, personality, and value. Receiving ONE KEY represents a very special stay, where guests are welcomed into an environment that reflects exceptional passion, craftsmanship, and hospitality.
“We are deeply honored to receive this recognition from the Michelin Guide,” said Paulus Tuasuun, General Manager of Samsara Ubud. “This award reflects our team’s passion for delivering soulful experiences — where every stay is more than a moment of luxury, but a celebration of tranquility, culture, and connection.”
With this remarkable milestone, Samsara Ubud continues to stand as a sanctuary of serenity in Bali’s highlands: a place where time slows down, and life’s little luxuries are beautifully celebrated.
