At a glance
Bisma Eight is a 38-room boutique hotel and villa collection on Bisma Road, in the cultural centre of Ubud, Bali.
The hotel holds One Michelin Key, awarded in 2025, and its rooms are artisan-made in warm wood and textiles, many with a deep Japanese soaking tub and jungle views. A separate cluster of one and two-bedroom villas lies about 500 metres away, each with a private pool and a kitchenette.
Dining centres on Copper, the rooftop kitchen and bar serving modern Indonesian cooking and breakfast over the treetops, with the 10-seat Mori teppanyaki counter and the villas’ Mediterranean restaurant, Embers, alongside it. Mandala Spa, the gym, and free daily yoga handle wellness.
An infinity pool runs along the back of the property, above the ravine, and sustainability threads through the operation, from the organic farm to the sourcing. The Sacred Monkey Forest, the Ubud Royal Palace, and the town’s galleries and shops are all a short walk away.

Further information
Dining
Dining centers on Copper, the rooftop kitchen and bar, where executive chef Yuni Artha cooks modern Indonesian dishes and breakfast comes with a view over the Ubud treetops. Mori adds an intimate 10-seat teppanyaki counter with a chef-led tasting menu, while Embers, down at the villas, runs Mediterranean cooking off the resort’s own organic farm. The pool bar handles afternoon tea and signature cocktails.
Wellness
Mandala Spa, over at the villas, works from Balinese and Ayurvedic traditions, with massages using the house essential-oil blends, facials, and a scrub bar where you build your own treatment from a rice base. Sessions can also be set up in your room. The wider wellness offer adds free daily rooftop yoga, weekly sound healing, the jungle infinity pool, and a gym for keeping a routine.
Location
Bisma Eight runs along Bisma Road, a quiet, walkable street in the middle of Ubud that drops away into jungle and a river ravine at the back. The Sacred Monkey Forest is about a kilometer south, and the Ubud Royal Palace, art market, and museums are a 10-minute walk north, with rice-terrace trails close by. Bali’s airport is roughly 90 minutes away by car.
Indonesia
Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelago nation, spanning more than 17,000 islands across a distance broader than the continental United States. With over 270 million people, hundreds of distinct ethnic groups, and some of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet, it is a destination of genuine scale and complexity. The official language is Bahasa Indonesia, though English is widely spoken across Bali and the main tourist areas.
Our Experts
Bali had a bit of a reputation as being a backpacker's paradise, and for good reason, but in recent years the island has been transformed into a playground for the wealthy. You'll find a dazzling array of luxury properties to explore.
Most people who visit Indonesia flock to the white-sand beaches of Bali, but for a more authentic Indonesian experience, be sure to sample the hustle and bustle of Jakarta - it's one of the world's most international and cosmopolitan cities.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.

Suggested tours
Explore Sumatra & Java: Wildlife, Volcanoes & Ancient Temples
Tailor-made HolidayOrangutans in the canopy, ancient temples at sunrise, and a rare, unfiltered corner of Indonesia. This journey opens deep in the jungles of northern Sumatra, where orangutans move freely through the canopy and rivers cut through valleys carved over millennia. Eco-lodges in Tangkahan and Bukit Lawang serve as bases for trekking through one of the world's last major rainforests, an experience built around encountering wildlife directly rather than from behind a fence.

Spiritual Bali Retreat: Temples, Highlands & Coast
Tailor-made HolidaySome trips are built for sightseeing, and this one is built for slowing down, moving from misty temple mornings in Ubud to coffee-scented highland trails and, finally, a stretch of coastline where the only plan is to stay a while. This journey is a slower, more spiritual take on Bali, moving through temples and rice terraces, jungles, and coastlines, anchored throughout by genuine warmth toward LGBTQ+ travellers.
