In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Every room at Purana Suite opens straight onto the pool — a courtyard design with the suites wrapped around the water, so you can step down into it from your own private balcony. The decor is classic carved Balinese wood, batik and handmade furniture, and reviews consistently describe the rooms as spacious, clean and very comfortable to sleep in. The balcony is the kind of spot you end up sitting on all day, watching the pool. The on-site spa earns praise too, for skilled massage at a fair price.
Food and amenities
Breakfast is Indonesian, and there's free Wi-Fi throughout. Beyond that, this is a small boutique stay rather than a full-service resort — the appeal is the pool, the rooms and the team, not a long amenities list.
Location and getting there
Mas is quieter than central Ubud and well known for Balinese woodcarving, which makes it a good base if you actually want to rest. The Ubud market and the Monkey Forest are about 15 minutes away by car, so without a rental you should check whether the hotel runs a shuttle. The upside is the village itself: craft workshops and small cafes around Mas are worth a wander.
Things to know before booking
The pool is an enclosed courtyard — there's no rice-terrace view or open natural scenery, which is the one trade-off versus the view-led resorts on this list. The 15-minute distance from central Ubud and its restaurants means you'll rely on a car or a shuttle, so confirm transfers in advance if you're not driving.
Our take
Purana Suite suits couples and travelers who want 4-to-5-star quality at a 4-star price. If your budget is tight but you still want a beautiful Balinese suite, this is the best-value choice in this roundup — at around $140 a night with the highest score on the list, it's hard to beat.
