Komaneka at Bisma
Walking distance to town, design-led, the pre-yoga-class hotel.

"The Komaneka family's central Ubud property, working walkable-Ubud boutique anchor."
Why this rank, Komaneka at Bisma opened in 2014 on Jalan Bisma in central Ubud, the family-owned working Ubud boutique five minutes' walk from Monkey Forest Road and Ubud Palace. 65 villas across the property. The Komaneka Group runs four properties across Ubud (Bisma, Monkey Forest, Tanggayuda, and Rasa Sayang); the Bisma property is the group's working flagship. The Komaneka Spa runs Balinese-tradition treatments. The dining programme runs at the Bisma Cafe (the working dinner anchor) and the Pool Lounge. The central-Ubud position (the property is on a small valley directly off Jalan Bisma) means the working Ubud walkable programme (Ubud Palace, Saraswati Temple, Sacred Monkey Forest, Ubud Market, Yoga Barn) runs without requiring a vehicle, which is the structural difference from the Ayung River gorge properties. Best for the central-Ubud walkable Bali stay.
Best room: Bisma Pool Villa, private pool
"Walking distance to town, design-led, the pre-yoga-class hotel."
Komaneka at Bisma is the design-led mid-tier Ubud boutique, on the same Bisma street as Bisma Eight but slightly larger and slightly more polished. Forty-three rooms across multiple buildings, all with valley-edge or rice-field-edge orientation, the upper tiers with private plunge pools. The architecture is contemporary-Balinese, clean lines, natural materials, modern detailing, and the property is owned by the Komaneka group (which also runs three other hotels in Ubud, all family-owned). The valley-edge infinity pool is the asset; the swim-out from the private suites onto the rice paddies is unique to this property in central Ubud. The wellness programme is run from the Komaneka Spa, with five treatment villas and a strong Balinese-massage programme. The hotel is twelve minutes' walk from the Yoga Barn and ten minutes from Locavore. Komaneka is the right pick for the wellness retreat at the mid-tier price point where the walk into town is part of the daily programme.
Pool Suite (with private plunge pool) or Valley Suite (with valley-edge balcony).
Use Komaneka's bicycle programme to ride to the Yoga Barn for the 7am class. Book the Komaneka Spa Balinese massage for the post-yoga afternoon. Lunch at Hujan Locale (a five-minute walk) for the strongest indonesian-fusion menu in Ubud.
Komaneka at Bisma sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels in Bali for a Wellness Retreat list. It scored an aggregate 9.4/10 across the three editorial criteria, competitive against the field but, on a wellness retreat-specific factors, the angle above is what earned its rank. For the alternatives in the same Bali neighbourhood, see Central Ubud and adjacent. For a different city entirely, see the related lists below.
If you have already chosen the dates, our editor recommends booking the room twelve weeks ahead. The best suites with the right view orientation go first, and inventory for the popular months is quoted in months, not weeks. Suite-level rooms with private plunge pools or terraces, the ones that earn this rank, are typically the first to sell out.
Editorial · #16 on the Top 20 Hotels in Bali 2026 list
Komaneka at Bisma's case for the Bali stay is the central-Ubud walkable position. The 2014 property is on Jalan Bisma in central Ubud, five minutes' walk from Monkey Forest Road and Ubud Palace.
The 65 villas across the property include the Bisma Pool Villa, the Suite, and the multi-bedroom Pool Villa.
The Komaneka Group runs four properties across Ubud (Bisma, Monkey Forest, Tanggayuda, and Rasa Sayang); the Bisma property is the group's working flagship. The Komaneka Spa runs Balinese-tradition treatments. The dining programme runs at the Bisma Cafe (the working dinner anchor) and the Pool Lounge. The central-Ubud position means the working Ubud walkable programme (Ubud Palace, Saraswati Temple, Sacred Monkey Forest, Ubud Market, Yoga Barn) runs without requiring a vehicle, which is the structural difference from the Ayung River gorge properties at Sayan and Payangan. Best for the central-Ubud walkable Bali stay.
