Avalon Ubud Castle & SPA

Beautiful hotel near by river

When I booked my stay here, I thought with cynicism, 'mmm, a castle - likely' but I thought I'd try for one night. I wished I'd booked for longer; it is sooooo fabulous and the facilities and privacy just amazing. I loved it! The staff are lovely and the food is especially yummy and the staff will bring it to you in your room, in the library or in the Dragon's Grotto by one of the pools overlooking the river. It is exotic and romantic and soooo peaceful. The hour massage was wonderful. Everything was so reasonably priced. Everything about Avalon Castle and Spa is extraordinarily beautiful.

There was so much to love, but I would warn guests that the road to the Castle is narrow and desolute and I know we were really worried that we'd taken the wrong turn. Happily, there were some signs, which could be bigger, that reassured us that we were on the right path. Once you access the parking lot, you'll need to get assistance to carry your bags down the first of many flights of stairs. We are in our early to mid 70s and coped reasonably well but if you have any mobility issues, then sadly this is not for you.

Oh my God where do I start?! Ever since I went to Avalon the first time for 6 days in June 2025. I have returned now three times and that's the only place I would rather stay at when I go to Ubud. Why?? Because it's absolutely insanely beautiful, calm, peaceful, relaxing, and tucked away if just far enough Central but still close. If you feel that you're a queen at heart or a king, you belong in this Castle, Avalon you have my heart. The staff, the amenities, the quietness of no bikes nothing but the river and the feeling of being right In the jungle The indie is the most phenomenal part of this place. I love the big rooms and just being completely in touch with nature. It's nothing you have seen before and that is the reason why I keep going back

Absolutely nothing

Unique architecture and concept. The room was spacious, and the pools by the river were nice.

The bed linen was poor for a suite, and the curtains did not block out light effectively. The room was not very clean (spider webs in several areas). The gas in the kitchen was not working, and the issue was not fixed. The room and furniture look old and need renovation. Water pressure in the bathroom was poor.
