Bit of a tourist trap, nice to participate in the silversmith workshop and make a pendant or ring, very enjoyable. The real gem is the grounds and garden which is very picturesque. Really well worth a visit a mini shangri-la.
What a great place to spend an afternoon. Or even a whole day. What first looks like a smallish museum opens up into a intricate complex full of artwork. Add to that the fact that’s it’s also a hotel, the rooms are gorgeous and so well laid out.
There was an exhibition on when I went and as part of it there was a great book on Balinese art. Definitely worth a visit.
I only visit the museum, almost everything here is from a private collection. But I think the resort is a very nice place too because I had a chance to walk around, I saw everything is in a peaceful atmosphere with trees everywhere, oh, and they also have the spa and pool too.
The museum is a great place to visit if you want to see local art. The collection is relatively large and varied. The grounds of the complex are green and worth a visit, even if you are not staying at the resort.
Arma Museum and Resort in Ubud, Bali, is one of a kind in Indonesia. On an huge piece of land with 2 good restaurants, a Museum with many original artworks, Arma has Bali style bungalows with bathroom and toilet to rent as well as a newly opened modern building with 25 rooms, a swimming pool and 2 open halls for relaxing in the shade or for group events. The whole area stretches from one hill with restaurant past the open stage, cafe and museum via stairs to the vally with a small rice field and river and the second restaurant which is also the breakfast area. Beyond the river lies the
new building with 25 rooms and swimmibg pool. The whole resort is home to beautiful tall trees, flowering shrubs, a ricefield and orchids if it is 'orchid season'. ARMA is a place for families, kids are welcome, and the elderly who are still strong and can climb many stairs. It is not suitable for people who need a wheelchair to get around.
Beautiful garden and lots of artistic statue and sculptures. Clean room and nice pool to relax. Museum is quite interesting, especially if you like Balinese paintings. Staffs are friendly and helpful, shuttle to Ubud center is available at certain times.
It's a nice place to go seeing paintings by various of Balinese artists and other painting collections of Mr. Arma. Range from traditional Balinese style to the modern one. There's also a meeting point of painters and crafter in its garden, you can see them working on their canvas and wood, interacts with them and probably try to learn a bit of painting technique(s). You can buy paintings (not the one inside the museum) and handcraft here. The view is stunning with various plants and a corn (or rice?, i forget) field. The resort seems nice as well, they welcome you with such warmth.
It’s easy to access, parking ok.
Good for dinner and lunch. recommended for activity as well.
It's like feeling like home to being here.
Really love the atmosfer, really love the picture, art, and all the spot. And really nice owner. Love it 😍😍😍
Beautiful and classy place to eat the waitresses were lovely and made us feel very welcome it was an amazing place to spend our anniversary ❤️
Stunning!! Really love the place, comfortable. And a many paintings so meaningful, need more time to explore, 1or2 hours isn't enough for me.
Nice food and staff. Prices were ok, wonderfully presented food. Needs a renovation though.
Amazing hotel territory, great museum, best evening performance!
Me and my wife really enjoyed this place.
Highly recommend.
One of the best place to stay in Ubud. If you like quite and away from the hectic places. This one simply the best
Went for wood crafting class. It was a bit difficult as we had to sit on the floor. Nice and relaxing experience. Friendly teacher.
Cozy retreat resort, with so much greens and mystical area that are really high energy. Comfy room, decent pool, many meeting area.
The museum is amazing, there are only 2 galleries even though the brochure says 3, the last one is a poorly maintained bookstore that is by no means appealing. Do give yourself enough time for the art! I ended up spending 3 hours here and still felt that wasn't enough. I had to constantly look up things on my phone due to the lack of explanation on the art. If you aren't familiar with Indonesian art and Balinese art, you probably want to spend at least 3-4 hours here, and make sure your phone is fully charged because you'll be looking up things all the time. Or, you can also just pass through like some other tourists did. But hey, come here for some serious art adventures! As for the complimentary drink, it's only coffee or tea. I found the staff in the cafe near the entrance to be snobbish.
What a nice place! Rooms are nice (didn't stay here but visited my brother who did)
Nice pool area. Friendly staff. Prices are high here! They add 21% govtax to their allready high prices.
Nice place with rice field view in Ubud , good food nice entertainment show friendly owner and beautiful panintings :))
We decided to spent a night in the 2 bedroom villa for 2 couples in order to enjoy the day and night activities in ARMA Museum.
The surrounds of our villa was a picturesque landscape of towering trees, flowering plants, bridges, stone statues, water features and scattered light. It was the paintings of old Ubud we had seen in the Museum come to life.
This tropical landscape extended to the villa, which contained 2 private houses sharing a common pool. This was the inner sanctum of old Ubud, with our large and comfy bed, luxurious amenities, outdoor bath and shower, and room service. We also had 2 pavilions with floor seating, one of which enjoyed partial views of the neighboring padi fields.
We had a restful night on soft linens and awoke to the faint chirping sounds of birds and the beams of golden light on the villa. ARMA Resort offered a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of Bali. Despite the resort having some upgrading works and building new rooms while we were there, we did not hear any of the construction noise.
Nice place, very quiet and calm, very Bali ambiance and Mr. Paul (Creative Director) is very friendly. This place is own by one of the king of Ubud, Agung Rai.
Nice resort with great ambiance, very friendly Mr. Paul (Creative Director) and they have a good food too.
Most interesting place during my trip in bali cuz it was Friday there was a Barong and Kris dance (traditional dance performance)
Quite a variety of art. Also an excellent cafe. Free hot or iced coffee or tea on admission.
The owner of the hotel was amazing and so accomadatimg. Many simple touches that made this place unique. Beautiful property. Try the homemade marmalade jam it was so delicious. The outside shower with the koi pond was heaven. I loved this place and need to go back soon.
Beautiful grounds museum is limited but comes with a free drinks at the cafes on site.
Beautiful and secluded, the terrain of Arma offers 60.000 m2 of serenity. What seems like a steep entry ticket pays itself back if you get the iced tea or coffee with the included vouxher, and take the time to walk around the premises of the garden and hotel. The artworks are of great veriety and quality, but I found it a pity that they weren't properly lit, then this would have real museum star quality.
Great Balinese art museum in wonderful setting. Fantastic gardens. Well worth the visit. Really kind and attentive staff.
one of the more beautiful resort in ubud
Incontournable si vous êtes à Ubud. On a vraiment l'impression de passer dans un autre univers.
Great atmosphere. Great rooms. Lovely surroundings.
