Ubud is the cultural and spiritual centre of Bali, where we feel part of the Balinese customes and traditions, lost in endless insights.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Bisma Eight<\/em>\u00a0in Ubud represents all that.<\/p>\n

A Luxury Boutique Hotel<\/em>\u00a0located in the natural heart of the region, which demonstrates quite well the artisan and spiritual heritage of the region.<\/p>\n

Just a small 10 min walk from the main streets of Ubud, this oasis allowed us to elevate our senses to a true Nature haven.<\/p>\n

Here, the modern decoration creates a perfect symbiosis with the Balinese tradition, natural beauty and serenity are honored.<\/p>\n

First Impression<\/strong>
\nTo arrive at the Hotel we went through a quite narrow and a bit sinuous road that kept us from antecipating what was expecting us, we passed through smiley faces, rice fields and their workers, children in bikes (surely underaged for that!), until we arrived to our destination,\u00a0Bisma Eight<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A quite discreet entrance, but with a warm welcoming and true smiles!<\/p>\n

The raw from the stone filling the walls is buffered by the luminous circles that seem to fall from the ceiling and together constitute the chandelier that welcomes us.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A small quirk in our reservation was readily sorted out by the nice staff and the check in was made without delays.
\nForwarded to our room we could observe the almost Boho Chic style that dominates the hotel, never superimposing the spiritual charge it carries in a natural way. Right next to the reception, to our left there’s an altar to a hindu divinity imposing to welcome us while purifying our mind.<\/p>\n

And that’s\u00a0Bisma Eight, a mix of a modern atmosphere, casual and elegant with a spiritual haughtiness that makes us realize we’re in a sacred place.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bedrooms<\/strong>
\nThe hotel is constituted by 38 suites, there are no bedrooms, just huge suites that combine a line of simplist decoration and Balinese art.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They’re of three types,\u00a0The Garden Suites<\/em>\u00a0with view to the huge garden and access to the same, The Canopy Suites<\/em>\u00a0(where we stayed) with view to the beautiful terrace with the forest on the horizon, and the The Forest Suites<\/em>\u00a0with a breathtaking view to the forest and very close to the pool.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As entering the room we realized the mix in which the wood is queen, combining with the pure white of the sheets. Orange and yellow explosions give a vibrant ambiance to the bedroom. Huge, wide room with a balcony where the green from the garden is felt in full, a room surrounded by wood, with pillows of strong colors rivaling with the white from the sheets and a bathroom to die for! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Japanese bathtub completely overwhelmed me!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Restaurants\/coffee shops\/bars<\/strong>
\nThere are three different options, equally perfect.
\nThe Library Caf\u00e9<\/em>\u00a0brings two of the most pleasant sensations in life, literature and coffee! Enjoying a good coffee, reading a good book and relaxing for a few hours, that’s the moto of\u00a0The Library Caf\u00e9<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Part of the lobby with The Library Caf\u00e9 behind<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The Pavilion<\/em>, which on its turn invites us to spend a whole day with a fresh drink next the most heavenly place of the hotel, its infinity pool.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>At The Pavillion is possible to eat right on top of the forest\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
