Bidadari is the rare Ubud retreat that prices like a premium villa yet earns a perfect 10 out of 10 for value — 9.6 across 681 reviews, and it beats the Ubud villa average on every single sub-score.
It's a walled cluster of private-pool villas in Kelabang Moding, in the quiet green fringe north of central Ubud — jungle-and-rice-field calm rather than town-centre bustle. Guests rate the setting 9.8, comfort and facilities 9.6 apiece, and, unusually, back a top-tier from-price with a flawless value score. The one real trade-off isn't a weak sub-score — its softest, at 9.3, still beats the field — it's the address: you're about a 15-minute ride from Ubud's market, palace and restaurant streets, with little within walking distance, so this reads as a retreat you settle into, not a walk-everywhere base.
Every villa comes with its own private pool, air-conditioned bedrooms, a kitchen or kitchenette, an in-room safe and daily housekeeping. Bidadari sits in a premium price tier — the ≈ €370 figure is an indicative entry rate; exact villa configurations and live prices for your dates are on the booking page.
Who it's for · honest fit, not marketing
Who Bidadari suits — and who should skip it
Couples & honeymooners
A private-pool villa in deep-green calm — the romantic Ubud retreat, and its core audience.
Wellness & yoga travellers
Classic Ubud territory — a yoga studio and spa within about a kilometre, and a quiet villa to come back to.
Peace-and-quiet seekers
Rice-field quiet north of the crowds — location scores 9.8, and there's no nightlife on the doorstep to break it.
Value-minded splurgers
It isn't cheap — premium price tier — but guests rate value a perfect 10, so the spend lands well.
Families with kids
Space, a private pool and strong service (staff 9.4), but out of town and quiet — you'll ride in for most things.
Walk-everywhere & nightlife
Central Ubud is a ~15-min ride and bars aren't nearby — for walk-out dining, base in the town centre instead.

About the area · Kelabang Moding, north Ubud
Where Bidadari sits
Bidadari is in Kelabang Moding, in the green belt of villages north of central Ubud — the quiet, rice-field side of the area rather than the market-and-palace core. That's the appeal and the catch in one: you get calm and space, but Ubud's restaurants, shops and sights are a short ride rather than a walk. The nearest well-known landmark, the Neka Art Museum, is about 4 km away; central Ubud is roughly a 15-minute drive.

A retreat, not a walk-out address

This is the honest picture of the setting: quiet and green, with almost nothing to walk to — no bars, a couple of cafés, and town a ride away. If that calm is what you're after, it's a strength (location 9.8); if you want to stroll out to dinner, base in central Ubud instead.

Dry season · Apr–Oct
Green hills and clear mornings; Jul–Aug and Christmas–New Year are the busy, priciest weeks.
Wet season · Nov–Mar
Short afternoon downpours, lush rice fields and lower rates. Note Nyepi (Mar), when Bali shuts for 24 h.
Sweet spot · May–Jun, Sep
Dry weather without the peak crowds or prices — the value window on a premium villa like this. Ubud runs a few degrees cooler and greener than the coast.
Before you book
Common questions
Is Bidadari in a good area of Ubud?
It's in Kelabang Moding, the quiet green belt north of central Ubud — location is its top guest sub-score (9.8/10) for exactly that calm. The trade-off is distance: the market, palace and restaurant streets are about a 15-minute ride, not a walk.
Do the villas have private pools?
Yes — each villa has its own private pool, along with air-conditioned bedrooms, a kitchen or kitchenette and daily housekeeping.
Is it good for families?
It can be — there's space, a private pool and strong service (staff 9.4) — but it's a quiet retreat out of town, so you'll ride in for meals and sights, and the open pools need supervision. Couples and wellness travellers are the more natural fit.
Is it worth the price?
Guests think so: despite sitting in a premium price tier, Bidadari scores a perfect 10 for value (against an 8.5 Ubud average). Book the May–June or September shoulder for the best rate.
How far is the airport?
Ngurah Rai (DPS) is about 37 km away — allow 1 h 15 to 1 h 30 for south-Bali traffic. The villa can arrange an airport shuttle.
