Our Stays
Staying with the Suparsa family is not about choosing a room or a villa. It is about choosing a place where daily life unfolds quietly, guided by traditions that are still lived rather than displayed.
We offer two ways of staying in Ubud — both connected by family, land, and rhythm. One stay is inside our traditional family compound on Sri Wedari Street, just a five-minute walk from the centre of Ubud. The other consists of two private villas surrounded by rice fields, located ten minutes away by scooter.
Both stays are close to what people come to Ubud for today: rice fields at sunrise, waterfalls hidden in the jungle, quiet cafés, yoga studios, and paths that feel made for wandering. At the same time, both remain residential, calm, and lived-in.
Arriving in Ubud
From the airport, the journey takes around one and a half hours, slowly shifting from traffic to greenery. As you enter Ubud, the pace changes. The road narrows, scooters pass quietly, and small offerings appear along the street.
Sri Wedari Street sits just outside the busiest centre, yet remains connected. Turning into the compound, the noise fades almost immediately. What remains is space, trees, and movement at walking speed.
Suparsa’s Homestay
Suparsa’s Homestay is located inside a traditional Balinese family compound, where several generations live side by side. Guest rooms are positioned behind the main family house, creating a sense of privacy while remaining part of the whole.
The layout follows Balinese principles: separate buildings connected by open paths, gardens that act as shared space, and a natural flow between private and communal areas. There are no corridors, no enclosed blocks — only air, light, and distance.
Rooms are clean, simple, and intentionally understated. Each room features a carved wooden bed, soft mosquito nets, a private bathroom, air conditioning, and fast, reliable Wi-Fi. Every room has its own router, making longer stays and remote work comfortable.
Ground-floor rooms open onto private terraces. Upper-level rooms share a balcony, each with its own seating area. The shared pool sits quietly in the centre of the compound and is used for cooling down rather than social gathering.
Daily Life in the Compound
This is not a staged environment. Every morning, the women of the family prepare and place offerings throughout the compound. Later in the day, offerings are dried and assembled whenever time allows.
From time to time, ceremonies take place at the family temple or near the entrance. You may hear chanting, music, or movement — always respectful, always part of daily village life. These moments are not performances. They simply happen.
Despite this shared environment, guest areas remain quiet and separate. Privacy is understood rather than enforced.
Ubud & Its Surroundings
From the homestay, the centre of Ubud is five minutes on foot. Beyond that, rice fields begin almost immediately, offering early-morning walks through soft light and mist.
Waterfalls such as Tukad Cepung and Tegenungan, jungle paths, viewpoints, cafés, and yoga studios are all easily reached by scooter. A Kecak dance performance takes place at a nearby temple every Wednesday and Saturday evening, just three minutes from the homestay.
Scooters can be rented at Tropsa, the family-run rental shop located at the entrance of the compound, managed by my brother Tris. Gojek is also widely available for affordable transport.
Suparsa’s Villas
Opened in August 2025, Suparsa’s Villas are two private one-bedroom retreats built on family land surrounded by rice fields. They are located on a quiet side street off Jalan Sri Wedari, approximately ten minutes away by scooter.
The villas were created for guests who value privacy, space, and independence, while remaining connected to Ubud and to family life. They sit side by side, ideal for friends or families travelling together, yet without a connecting door.
Each villa is designed in classic Balinese style, with hand-carved stone details, high walls for complete privacy, and its own private plunge pool.
The skylight bathroom offers both a shower and a bathtub, filling the space with warm natural light throughout the day. Traditional offering baskets are placed daily around the property, quietly connecting the villas to Balinese ritual.
Each villa includes a fully equipped kitchen with an air fryer, fridge, freezer with ice cubes, and a cooking pit. Strong Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV with Google Play and VPN allow guests to stream content from home.
Two comfortable chairs on the terrace invite you to slow down, read, or simply listen to the sounds of the fields. Daily cleaning and fresh towels are included, and free scooter parking is available on-site. Floating breakfasts can be arranged and enjoyed in the pool.
Beside the villas lies a quiet garden cared for by my father, Suparsa, where tropical fruit trees grow next to a small family temple. It is a place for morning coffee, shade in the afternoon, and a reminder that this land is lived on.
Guests at the villas remain closely connected to the homestay, to Tropsa scooter rental, and to the family-run massage space operated by my wife. Assistance with transport, day trips, and airport transfers is always available.
Who This Place Is For
This place suits travellers who value calm, culture, and a sense of place. It works well for solo travellers, couples, and longer stays.
It is not a resort. It is not anonymous. It is a living environment, shared with a family who has lived here for generations.
Guests often arrive as visitors and leave feeling quietly connected. That is the rhythm of staying with the Suparsa family.
