Why we recommend it
Hotel Tjampuhan describes itself as legendary since 1927, which makes it one of the oldest hotels in Ubud. It sits on Jalan Raya Campuhan in Campuhan, the area of Ubud where two rivers meet and where the Campuhan Ridge Walk begins, and its spa lies at the base of the valley close to the river. The hotel is affiliated with Pita Maha Resorts, a name shared with the Pitamaha artists' cooperative founded in the 1930s by the Ubud royal family with Walter Spies and Rudolf Bonnet.
The connection to that period of Ubud's history is visible in the Walter Spies Lounge, named after the German painter who co-founded the Pitamaha cooperative, which serves light refreshments through the day. The rooms are described as classic guest rooms that honour Bali's cultural heritage, each category with its own style, and the hotel presents its setting as tranquil and largely untouched by time, with a lotus pond among the gardens. Main meals are served at Oos Terrace, whose menu combines Balinese specialities with international dishes, and room service is available for guests who prefer to eat in after a day of exploring.
The spa is the hotel's most unusual feature. Tjampuhan Spa sits at the base of the valley, close to the river, with several semi-open treatment pavilions and a hot and cold spring-water Jacuzzi set inside a stone cavern. The spa focuses on the therapeutic properties of water, and treatments draw on Balinese healing and beauty traditions, and a visit to the cavern pool is a memorable way to end a day of walking.
The hotel offers wedding arrangements and packages such as a honeymoon package and a natural retreat package, and rooms can be booked online through the hotel's reservation system or by phone and WhatsApp. It holds CHSE certification, Indonesia's standard for cleanliness, health, safety and environmental sustainability.
Hotel Tjampuhan suits travellers with an interest in Ubud's artistic history and anyone who wants to be at the start of the Campuhan Ridge Walk for an early-morning stroll. The hotel is also active on social media, where it shares updates on packages and events.
