Nestling in the mystical beauty of Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali, is the welcoming sanctuary of Bumi Kinar enchanting guests with an indulgent experience and the kindness of authentic Balinese hospitality. Just 15 minutes from the centre of Ubud, embraced by the shadow of the majestic volcano Mount Agung and verdant paddy fields along the sacred Petanu River, this exceptional and villa resort derives its name from ‘Bumi’ for earth & ‘Kinar’ for light, a place where Mother Earth meets the sun’s rays.

About the Resort

Bumi Kinar, fondly known as BuKi, is an architectural centrepiece and haven where guests find inner peace and true relaxation in Ubud’s lush forest lulled by the soothing currents of the surrounding rivers. A magical retreat from the mundane, BuKi offers the ultimate privacy of independent private villas with panoramic views combined with an unparalleled fusion of tranquility, adventure and rejuvenation, always with sustainability in mind.

Relaxed dining at Jingga tempts with many locally cultivated ingredients in a farm-to-table ethos, combining elements of different culinary traditions. Cresting the gentle curving infinity pool, guests can relax poolside on comfortable sunbeds with beverages and light snacks served throughout the day, with signature cocktails prepared by experienced bartenders. Discover renewed vitality with invigorating wellness treatments at TheSpa@BuKi, in the state-of-the-art cardio gym facilities or at the yoga pavilion; a magnet for innovative, inspiring and tranquil encounters. A diverse programme of on-site activities and day excursions is crafted for guests in search of a little more.

SKYLIGHT VILLAS

Each of the contemporary and spacious one-bedroom villas stands alone with unobstructed views across the river and surrounding valley from a private terrace with comfortable daybeds. Natural curves across the design seamlessly integrate elegant living and dining spaces with a luxurious bedroom for stargazers to enjoy the night sky through the overhead circular skylight.

THE PENTHOUSE

Perched high above the property and spanning an impressive 172m², Umah Akasa Penthouse Suite offers Bumi Kinar’s most exclusive experience to date. Thoughtfully crafted by Indonesian artisans, it blends clean, contemporary lines with warm, natural textures, while floor‑to‑ceiling windows and a wraparound balcony immerse guests in birdsong, morning mist and star-filled skies. Two indulgent ensuite bedrooms, expansive living spaces, a private balcony and a rooftop terrace create a sanctuary ideal for families, friends or creative retreats. Sunrises, sunsets and intimate evenings under the stars turn a stay in Ubud into a truly sky‑high escape at Umah Akasa.

HERITAGE VILLAS

Cradled between the Petanu River and Bali’s sacred mountain horizon, the Heritage Villas at Bumi Kinar invite guests into a story shaped by family, nature and time. Set within the lush Heritage Forest, each villa reflects authentic elegance through handcrafted wooden interiors and quiet natural beauty. From the expansive four-bedroom Griya Agung, aligned with Bali’s three holy mountains, to intimate one-bedroom suites overlooking gardens or terraces, these spaces were created for gathering, reflection and connection. Here, childhood memories, ancestral roots and refined comfort intertwine, offering a deeply personal stay where the land’s echoes gently surround you.
