Samsara Ubud, a small luxury boutique resort nestled in the tranquil village of Payangan, proudly announces its recognition by the Michelin Guide 2025, receiving the prestigious ONE KEY distinction. This honor celebrates Samsara Ubud’s dedication to exceptional hospitality, refined design, and a deeply personalized guest experience — a true embodiment of “Life’s Little Luxury.”
Designed by renowned Indonesian architect Popo Danes, Samsara Ubud harmoniously blends Balinese heritage with contemporary elegance. Each of the 17 private pool villas is thoughtfully crafted to reflect a sense of place, serenity, and cultural authenticity, where every curve, texture, and vista whispers stories of Ubud’s natural beauty.
At the heart of Samsara Ubud lies a devotion to meaningful service, where every gesture is genuine, and every detail is curated with warmth. Guests are embraced as family, experiencing the perfect balance of privacy and connection. Complementing this is the resort’s commitment to holistic wellness, offering serene 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 recognize 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 exceptional environment that reflects passion, craftsmanship, and heartfelt hospitality.
This recognition reaffirms Samsara Ubud’s commitment to preserving authenticity while offering world-class luxury rooted in Indonesian heritage. It is a tribute to the entire Samsara family whose genuine care continues to create lasting memories for every guest. “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.
