Blue Karma Dijiwa Ubud

Located in the lush hills of Kelabang Moding just north of central Ubud, Blue Karma Dijiwa Ubud is a boutique sanctuary that prioritizes mindfulness and cultural connection. Surrounded by tropical rainforests and emerald rice paddies, the resort is designed as an “ethnic-chic” escape where traditional Indonesian craftsmanship meets modern luxury. It offers a tranquil environment for travelers seeking to rejuvenate their body and soul through a combination of holistic wellness, artistic design, and authentic Balinese hospitality.

Rooms & Accommodation

The property features 15 uniquely designed suites and villas, largely constructed from reclaimed Javanese teak wood to create an intimate, “treehouse” feel. Guests can choose from a variety of styles, including the One-Bedroom Private Pool Villas for ultimate seclusion, or the signature Bumi Villas which feature outdoor hammocks overlooking the jungle ravines. Each room is curated with Balinese artifacts, mosquito-netted beds, and semi-outdoor bathrooms, ensuring guests feel deeply immersed in the natural landscape without sacrificing comfort.

Dining

Culinary experiences at the resort revolve around health and nutrition, primarily served at The Botanist Restaurant. The menu is a tribute to “superfoods,” utilizing locally sourced, organic ingredients to create a fusion of Indonesian and international dishes that are as nourishing as they are flavorful. For a more intimate experience, the resort offers romantic candlelight dinners in garden settings and a daily afternoon tea service featuring traditional Balinese cakes.

 Facilities

The resort’s centerpiece is a stunning infinity pool that appears to spill into the surrounding jungle and rice terraces. Wellness is central to the facilities, headlined by the Flying Bamboo Spa, which offers holistic healing and traditional Balinese massages in a serene bamboo structure. Additionally, the Sarang Yoga Shala provides a majestic, open-air space for meditation and yoga sessions, while a small library and boutique shop offer quiet corners for reflection and local artistry.

Activities

Blue Karma Dijiwa Ubud offers a rich program of “Conscious Experiences” that go beyond typical sightseeing. Guests can participate in daily morning treks through the rice paddies, Balinese ancestral remedy classes (Boreh making), and traditional coconut oil extraction workshops. For those seeking spiritual depth, the resort organizes visits to the Sebatu Holy Spring for purification rituals, as well as hands-on Balinese cooking classes led by local chefs.

Sustainability & Community

Under its “Conscious Hospitality” philosophy, the resort integrates sustainability into its daily operations through the use of reclaimed materials, such as Javanese teak and furniture made from recycled plastic bottle caps. The resort actively supports the local community by hiring Balinese staff, hosting community classes for local children, and donating proceeds from recycled cooking oil to support regional education. This commitment ensures that the resort operates in harmony with the local ecosystem and the people who call it home.
