Somewhere between “camping” and “five-star hotel” sits a category all its own – and Ubud Mas Glamping owns it. Tucked into Mas, a quietly artistic village just south of Ubud’s buzz, this is where private pools meet paddy views, rooftop cocktails meet sunset, and doing absolutely nothing becomes the whole point of the trip. Get ready to meet a new side of Bali.
Forget everything you know about camping
No sleeping bags. No queuing for a shower block at 6am. No zipping yourself into a tent and hoping for the best. The One Bedroom Garden Pool Tent spans a generous 120 square metres and comes with its own six-metre pool, sun loungers included – because if you’re going to wake up in the jungle, you might as well swim in it. Inside, the ensuite goes full indulgence: dual-sink vanity, indoor shower, and an outdoor soaking tub. With room for up to three, it’s built for couples craving a private escape or small families who don’t want to compromise on space.
Ubud, minus the noise
Across 17 handcrafted tents, Ubud Mas Glamping trades the traffic and hustle of central Ubud for something slower: rice-field views, hand-carved timber, thatched roofs, and the kind of quiet that makes you forget your phone exists. Every tent has its own pool. Every corner feels considered. And yet you still get the comforts you didn’t know you’d miss: smart TVs, Wi-Fi, a coffee station, daily housekeeping. It’s glamping in the truest sense – wild enough to feel like an adventure, comfortable enough that you’ll never want to leave.
Dinner with a view: Lacoo Restaurant
Up on the rooftop, Lacoo Restaurant seats up to 50 for a menu that wanders happily between Bali and the world. Start the day with a Big Brekkie or eggs Benedict, or go local with nasi goreng and rice porridge. By evening, it’s mixed satay, Balinese pork ribs and crispy fried duck, followed by dadar gulung or a classic crème brûlée. Pizzas, pasta, burgers and a kids’ menu keep everyone at the table happy. Add a cocktail, sunset, and the rooftop breeze, and you’ve got the kind of dinner you’ll still be talking about at home.
Slow down at Soleil Spa
Soleil Spa delivers slow travel in the form of two paddy-facing suites, therapists on hand from 9am to 9pm, and treatments designed to make you forget your to-do list entirely. Pair it with a workout at the adjoining gym if you’re feeling ambitious. Or don’t. Just look out at the paddies, switch off, and let the afternoon unfold as it will.
Ubud’s icons, a short drive away
Set in Abianseka, Mas, about 5–10km from central Ubud and roughly 40km from Ngurah Rai International Airport, Ubud Mas Glamping straddles two worlds. Spend the morning wandering Ubud Palace, the market stalls, or the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, then drive back to your private pool before the sun sets over Lacoo. Culture by day, quiet luxury by night.
Who it’s for
This one’s for the couples chasing a private hideaway and the small families who don’t want to compromise on space to get it. It’s for travellers who want Ubud’s best bits close at hand, but who’d rather sleep somewhere quieter than the middle of town. In short: if pools, paddies and a little peace sound like your kind of trip, you’re exactly who this was built for.
