Wapa di Ume Ubud

Wapa undoubtedly has a cult-like following. I have visited Ubud multiple times, read countless glowing reviews, and decided that on this trip I would experience what I now call the "Wapa Effect" for myself. With two locations—one in Ubud and another in Sidemen, which I plan to visit in a few weeks—I was eager to see whether the reputation lived up to the hype. It absolutely did. I was fortunate enough to stay during their twice-a-year Charity Auction Dinner, which was an incredible experience in itself and a perfect introduction to the heart and soul of Wapa. What became immediately clear is that the highly trained staff truly understands the art of hospitality. This is the reason behind the property's loyal following and why so many guests return again and again. Their ability to remember guests by name, anticipate needs, and remain consistently attentive without ever being intrusive is a rare skill. More importantly, every interaction feels genuine. Whether you are staying in a standard room or a luxury villa, the staff has a remarkable ability to make every guest feel special, valued, and appreciated. They create an atmosphere where everyone feels like a VIP. As someone who has traveled extensively around the world, I understand the difference between good service and exceptional hospitality. Wapa belongs firmly in the latter category.

We rarely write reviews but feel compelled to share what we feel may have been the best accommodation in our entire lives (we’ve travelled to many, many countries). The staff at Wapa Di Ume are genuine, thoughtful, respectful, and kind to the core. One of us in the hospitality industry; if there were a place to train those for a delightful future in hospitality, I would look to Wapa di Ume as the source for the best education. Additionally, the grounds are like no other: full of surprises, immaculate, free of gimmicks, and layered beyond imagination! Kudos to the architects/builders!! The services like massage/tours/airport pick-ups were all top-notch!!!! And, the cuisine at their restaurant is beyond delicious, offering both beautiful representations of their local fare and some international options for those craving a taste back home. Additionally, if you are desiring a tour, an adjustment to your schedule, etc. they are readily eager to help!!! This team at Wapa deserves to be on the stage for a gold medal!! Our only complaint is directed at ourselves: ‘why didnt we choose to stay longer’. Team Wapa . . Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!! Marc and Chris

We are so happy that we chose Wapa di Ume for our stay in Ubud. Everything was perfect. The staff is the absolute best and they made all the difference. The resort is beautiful, spa was great and the breakfast and dinners were incredible and delicious! Can’t wait to go back. 100% recommend!

Wonderful staff. Really nice villa. The area is calm with some good restaurants in the area. Breakfast is good but would be nice with get two dishes. Spa is nice and very good. Wifi in the room is good.
