Our Review
The Kayon Jungle Resort is one of Ubud's most visually striking and highly regarded luxury properties. Built along a dramatic canyonside ridge above the Petanu River, it features the famous Wanna Jungle Pool — a three-tiered infinity pool system that mirrors Bali's famous rice terrace terracing and has become one of the island's most photographed hotel features. The resort opened in 2018 and maintains consistently high standards across all areas. Rooms and villas are immaculate, beautifully designed and well-equipped, most featuring private pools. Dining options are diverse and of high quality. The spa is exceptional and the service is warm, attentive and professional — earning 4,748 reviews averaging above 9.1 across platforms. The location about 20 minutes outside Ubud town gives the resort a genuinely secluded, jungle feel. The property maintains an adults-only policy (15+) and does not permit drones, durian, or pets, positioning itself deliberately as a romantic, tranquil retreat. For honeymooners and couples seeking one of Bali's most photogenic and serene luxury experiences, The Kayon Jungle Resort is an exceptional choice.
