Since January 2023, an internal audit has tracked the monthly volume of food waste generated by the resort, its source, and how each type is reused or recycled — thanks to this system, only residual organic waste is now sent to landfill.
The resort has also fully phased out single-use plastic in its staff canteen and purchasing operations, replacing it with reusable packaging for daily deliveries — a target already achieved in full. A textile recycling programme, meanwhile, gives decommissioned linens and towels a second life as new products rather than sending them to landfill.
An on-site organic garden, jointly tended by the landscaping and culinary teams, supplies part of the ingredients used daily in the resort's restaurants, drawing on compost produced on site and helping to cut the CO2 emissions linked to supply deliveries.
Sun-drenched villas, each with a private pool framed by lush greenery, give guests the feeling of being immersed in the heart of nature — yet Ubud, Bali's artistic and cultural centre, is just a short walk away. It's this very contrast that gives COMO Uma Ubud its authentic, easygoing soul, enriched by countless activities, including nature walks that begin right at the guest room's door.
Ubud sits at the heart of Bali, a jewel set in emerald-green, still-wild nature, amid dense forests, rolling hills, cliffs and volcanic peaks, rice paddies and tea plantations. Here, about a twenty-minute walk from the town centre (also reachable via the resort's complimentary shuttle), COMO Uma Ubud is tucked away like an Indonesian temple — far from noise and bustle, yet close to restaurants, boutiques, galleries and museums, including the celebrated Tjampuhan Ridge and the Antonio Blanco Museum.
The 46 rooms, spread across several categories, all share the same guiding principle: nature and spirituality at the centre of the experience, a cornerstone of Balinese culture. The result is a deep, fulfilling sense of inner peace, upheld by warm, ceremonious staff always ready to meet even the most demanding requests — with a complimentary afternoon yoga class and guided morning walk included every day of the stay.
The resort is also a genuine culinary destination in Ubud, with a themed dinner calendar that changes every night of the week, while the COMO Shambhala Retreat offers a wellness journey designed for complete recharge during the stay.
