Capella Ubud

Capella Ubud in Bali invites families to enjoy a unique escape that blends nature, heritage, and indulgence. Set in the lush Keliki Valley, the resort’s signature two-bedroom tented retreat, The Lodge, offers the perfect base for this bespoke journey.

A sanctuary in the jungle

The Lodge spans 217 square metres and includes two bedrooms, an indoor-outdoor living space, and a private heated pool with jungle views. Designed by Bill Bensley, it features antiques, rich textiles, and whimsical explorer touches. The secluded location ensures privacy and space for families to reconnect.

Scenic arrival by helicopter

The experience begins with a one-way helicopter transfer from Bali’s southern coast. Families enjoy sweeping views of rice terraces, historic temples, and the island’s coastline before arriving near Ubud.

Immersive cultural experiences

Guests join the Capella Curates programme, including the magical Wayang Kulit shadow puppet performance under the stars. Families can also try Balinese cooking with a local farmer, forage for ingredients, and enjoy a traditional meal together.

Activities for all ages

From forest treks and rice paddy picnics to temple blessings and crafts, the itinerary encourages curiosity and togetherness. Younger guests can join activities with Camp Rangers, while adults unwind at Auriga Spa or with sunset drinks by the campfire.

Capella Ubud’s Family Adventure is available year-round and tailored to individual preferences.
