Capella Ubud Review 2026: Is This Luxury Bali Tent Worth It?
Dreaming of a unique luxury escape in Bali? We spent a night at Capella Ubud's iconic Forest Tent. Find out if this extraordinary jungle retreat lives up to its legendary reputation.

Over ~$828 a night in Bali
Staying in a Capella Ubud Forest Tent:
A Review of a Luxurious Trip
For that price, you could easily get a 5-star suite in Bali
— or so I thought.
Before I visited myself,
I had the exact same thought.

But just one day after checking in,
I understood why people say you absolutely have to
experience Capella Ubud in Bali at least once.

In this post, based on my personal stay in a
Forest Tent room,
I've put together a real review, including how to book
at the best price right now.
Capella Ubud: What Kind of Accommodation Is It?
Capella Ubud is a luxury tented camp resort nestled deep
in the heart of the Ubud jungle in Bali.


You might misunderstand due to the word 'camping,' but
it's actually a 5-star luxury resort that only borrows
the essence of camping!

The rooms are called 'tents,' not rooms, but once you step inside,
they're more spacious than most hotel suites and so luxurious
they'll leave you in awe!
My Actual Experience in a Forest Tent
The Forest Tent I stayed in is
among Capella Ubud's room types,
the one with the best jungle views.



Lying on the canopy bed, the sounds of the jungle drift
right through the tent fabric,
creating a truly authentic camping atmosphere.
I think this is what makes Capella Ubud truly special.

Honestly, with this list of inclusions,
you could happily spend a whole day just enjoying the camp without
worrying about extra costs — and a day wouldn't even be enough!



The Officers' Tent, in particular, is amazing because you can just drop
in without a reservation. It was perfect for enjoying
afternoon tea, playing board games,
shooting some pool, and sipping evening cocktails.
I really loved it.

Why is it Especially Recommended for Honeymoons or Anniversary Trips?
There's a reason why Capella Ubud is highly recommended for honeymoons
or anniversary trips.
Because upon request, they provide the following amenities free of charge
once during your stay!
Amenity | Details | Required Documents |
🌴 Honeymoon | Honeymoon cake + flower bath | Submit a copy of your marriage certificate upon check-in |
💍 Wedding Anniversary | Anniversary cake | Submit a copy of your marriage certificate upon check-in |
🎂 Birthday | Birthday cake | Based on date of birth in passport |
You must include your request when booking,
and don't forget to bring your documents.
Make sure to request your honeymoon & anniversary amenities during the booking process!
Is Capella Ubud Kid-Friendly?
Capella Ubud is fundamentally
an accommodation optimized for couples or honeymoons.

However, based on the current promotion,
breakfast is provided free of charge for one child,
so I thought it would be a good option
for a special one or two-day family trip.
For October 28th (Wednesday) - 30th (Friday),
I compared platform prices for a 2-night stay.
Platform | 2-Night Rate | 1-Night Price | Notes |
Stay&More | ~$1783 | ~$876 | Breakfast included, Early bird rate applied |
Agoda | ~$2290 | ~$1104 | Based on same dates |
Trip.com | ~$2366 | ~$1173 | Based on same dates |
When comparing for the same dates and room type,
Stay&More is at least ~$207 cheaper per night.

Since that's over ~$414 difference for a 2-night stay,
there's no need to even compare;
Stay&More is definitely the advantageous choice!
⚠️ Prices can change, so
make sure to check the real-time prices via the link before booking!
When booking with Stay&More,
cancellation is possible up to 22 days before check-in,
so I recommend booking it now to secure your spot.


If you want to find the lowest prices faster and more easily,
it's great to use the HotelsCombined website.
It tends to find all the hidden lowest prices!

Why I Recommend Capella Ubud

Bali truly has a plethora of accommodations offering great value.
Ubud alone is brimming with affordable pool villas.
Yet, people who choose Capella Ubud do so
for one compelling reason.

Complete Privacy Seclusion in the Jungle
Even the best other accommodations often struggle
to provide complete freedom from noise from adjacent rooms or the lobby.
However, at Capella Ubud, the tents themselves are spaced far apart,
and the Camp Rangers and Culturalists manage guest movement,
making it truly feel like you've arrived at 'our own private jungle.'


Add to that 24-hour dedicated concierge service,
a daily refilled minibar,
and unlimited access to the Officer's Tent Lounge,
and I believe it offers an experience that goes beyond its price point,
making it a truly luxurious accommodation in Bali.


I recommend Capella Ubud for these travelers:
✅ Those looking for a truly special accommodation for a honeymoon or anniversary trip
✅ Those who don't mind investing in unforgettable experiences
✅ Those seeking completely undisturbed,
private time in Bali
✅ Families who want to spend a special day with their children, even for a short stay
(utilizing the free breakfast for children)

Capella Ubud Forest Tents
was truly worth every penny for those who dream of indulging in a luxurious splurge for themselves
