Location

Capturing a sliver of the Petanu river's tumbling journey towards the sea, the Natura Resort and Spa is a sanctuary for the world-weary and environmentally aware. Located 3 kms, north east from the center of Ubud, the artistic and cultural center of Bali, is the traditional Balinese Village of Laplapan. Fourteen luxury villas designed by Bali's prominent local architect, Popo Danes, enhance the beauty off the existing site.

Snugly fitted amongst the foliage of the existing native trees, to minimize environmental impact, each cottage offers total privacy. seemingly untouched by the hands of time. Here Natura Resort & Spa has been conceived, a new concept in environmentally aware guest accommodation.

Natura's design plan was to enhance the beauty of the existing site, with environmental impact being a serious consideration. The preservation of existing vegetation and the protection of the river and wildlife were paramount in the design of the fourteen luxury villas.

The Natural Resort & Spa gives an opportunity for guests to see and experience first hand the unique religious lifestyle of the Balinese people. An ancient island culture vibrating with the spirit of the past. Stroll through the seemingly endless rice terraces almost on your doorstep.

Relax in the riverside Spa, exploring the traditional beauty and healing rituals of Bali. Go for a mountain bike ride, or visit some of many historical and religious sites within easy touring distance. If your need is to simply get away and relax, Natura has you in mind

The river and the jungle": On your way back from the Spa you can feel and hear the jungle site, until you reach the plateau again with its dramatic views across and along the river, already rich and densely vegetated with coconuts, palms, exotic fruit and abundance of advanced native trees. Natural springs abound in this haven of peace and tranquillity.

Just 3 km outside of the centre of Ubud, in a small village seemingly untouched by the hands of time found a true perl. Natura Resort & Spa is one of the very few places. Numerous resorts around Ubud try to excel in the "river valley spa" concept. This resort is among the very best, and a truly naturally relaxing place. Highly recommended. .
