Overview

The clifftop resort, formerly a Banyan Tree hotel, has been redesigned by the design firm WATG and Wimberly Interiors. 'Umana' means rice paddy fields in Balinese. This villa-only resort sits high on Ungasan's limestone cliffs. It's surrounded by cascading terraces that look like uma.

The in-room slippers and vanity kits were made from recycled paper and pandan fibers.

Moreover, the Lohma Spa offers a wide range of wellness activities. These include group sound healing and holotropic breathing work. There is also the signature treatment, an Indonesian massage that utilizes energized gemstones.

The resort also offers an infinity pool with a view of the Indian Ocean. Additionally, the property features a kids' club, fitness center, private pools, and gym. Many guests also find the Uma beach club and the hotel's chapel, located on top of the cliff, fascinating.

Location

The Umana Bali, LXR Hotels & Resorts, is located just above Pantai Melasti, also known as Melasti Beach. This beach has been a favorite of many to visit with their families because its waters are very kid-friendly and there's plenty to do for them to enjoy. This location is also the southernmost tip of Bali, and with a telescope, you can see Australia to the south.

Service

The warm Indonesian hospitality is evident from the minute you arrive at the hotel lobby. The staff zips around the property on golf carts to shuttle guests to and from villas. They are also quick to give walkers rides.

The service at the hotel is excellent, but it's not overly formal. When staff ask if you are enjoying your stay, they seem genuinely to care about the answer and hope it is "yes."

Rooms

There are 72 guest rooms. The villas, which are walled on three sides and covered with lush landscaping, feel very quiet. You can also hear the ocean waves on your terrace, 200 feet up the cliffs.

Tropical chic interiors feel as refined and unassuming as an Upper East Side townhouse. However, the woods, marbles, and soft blues and grays mix with traditional Balinese touches. You'll see a carved wooden front door and rattan woven by local artisans.

The one-bedroom villas have enough space for an entire family. They include a living room with a hot tub and a private infinity edge pool. The terrace also has lounge chairs under the shade of a Balinese bale, an open-air structure.

Moreover, the marble bathrooms showcase glass walls that allow natural light in. Meanwhile, the Japanese toilets offer advanced, high-tech features. They also feature massive tubs with bath bombs and incense.

There is nothing more relaxing than falling asleep in the tub. There, you can listen to the soothing sound of the water flowing into the pool. You can also walk directly from your bedroom's sliding door into the infinity pool.

Dining

The hotel features four dining outlets. These include the Mediterranean-inspired Oliverra. It has a clifftop perch, large windows, and a veranda for admiring the ocean or garden views. Moreover, the Pad Pool Bar offers a relaxed atmosphere for afternoon drinks or lunch during the day. The cocktails are often infused with locally sourced ingredients.

Additionally, Mer Lounge in the lobby is a tiny café/bar. It offers a variety of drinks, including a Balinese craft beer. You can also choose a wine bottle from their cellar with 200 labels and have it delivered to your villa.

Commune has the best breakfast buffet and is an all-day dining restaurant. It serves Southeast Asian cuisine. You can also find international dishes, such as sushi and croissants. There are also tasty Indonesian and Balinese delicacies.

Room service is also a great way to get out of the room. The food can be set out on your patio, at your kitchen table, or in your pool. A pandan waffle and jackfruit compote are excellent with hot coffee on the terrace of your villa.

Spa & Wellness

An independent building houses Lohma Spa, which features treatment rooms and a yoga pavilion. There are also classes ranging from sound healing to hatha yoga and holotropic breathing. The spa also offers a variety of services, including massages, a steam room, and a sauna. Let the Tri Hita Karana Treatment guide you toward complete well-being.
