Fivelements Retreat

Fivelements Retreat balances its six-room scale with expansive grounds that include two outdoor swimming pools and a nature reserve. The guest house sits in the historic quarter of Ubud, Indonesia, placing ancient temples and forested paths close at hand.

Jukut Paku Cliff Temple sits a four-minute walk from the property, while reaching Ubud Monkey Forest takes four minutes by car. For sights further out, including Ubud Palace and Ubud Traditional Art Market 5.5 kilometers away, a free area shuttle covers destinations within four kilometers. Ngurah Rai International Airport lies 33.8 kilometers away, with an around-the-clock shuttle provided for an extra fee.

Dining centers on an on-site restaurant that prepares custom dietary menus upon request, alongside a bar and room service during limited hours. Outdoor swimming options include an infinity pool looking over the grounds and a separate pool with a shallow end for children. Wheelchair-accessible pathways connect the grounds, including a dedicated ramp for entry into the pool. For trips around Ubud, scooter rentals and guided ecotours are organized directly on site.

Guests consistently highlight the exceptionally warm staff and the peaceful natural setting along the river. Reviewers frequently praise the plant-based restaurant for its inventive meals, with many noting that the food exceeded expectations. The holistic wellness treatments, traditional healing sessions, and daily morning yoga classes are also widely commended for creating a deeply quiet and restorative experience throughout their stay.
