Uma by Como enjoys a beautiful, tranquil setting, surrounded by tropical gardens with fish ponds and narrow walkways weaving through the foliage encouraging exploration and relaxation. This, along with the authentic feel of the decor, allows you to enjoy Bali’s culture and landscape without even leaving the grounds.
The property is made up of suites and villas — some with traditional Balinese thatched roofs — and is an intimate size, creating a peaceful atmosphere with a personalized service.
We like the way Uma by Como relaxes guests by merging into its natural surroundings. The pathways weaving through the grounds mimic the style of a local village, so even when you’re at the hotel you retain a sense of location.
