Bisma Eight is one of Ubud's finest mid-range hotels, set on a hillside with jaw-dropping views over the jungle-filled Campuhan Valley. The pool suite concept means most rooms come with private plunge pools, and the restaurant's deck is one of the best vantage points in Ubud for sunrise views over the forest.
Bisma Eight is a hillside boutique hotel on Jalan Bisma in central Ubud, Bali, Indonesia, located approximately a 10-minute walk from Ubud's main market and Royal Palace. The property takes its name from its street address and the concept of eight private pool suites stacked in descending tiers down a forested ravine overlooking the Campuhan Valley — one of Ubud's most celebrated natural vantage points where two river valleys and their forested ridges converge.
The hotel's eight Pool Suites each occupy their own terrace level, with private 6-metre plunge pools cantilevered over the valley and unobstructed views across the Campuhan and Wos River confluence. Interiors are furnished in contemporary Balinese style using hand-carved wooden panels, natural stone bathrooms, and outdoor showers screened by tropical plantings. Suite sizes range from standard Pool Suites to Family Pool Suites with additional sleeping space.
The rooftop restaurant, Penata Makan, commands what many visitors consider the finest view of any restaurant in Ubud, with a panorama stretching across the jungle canopy toward the mountain ranges to the north. The menu balances Indonesian staples with international café dishes. The sunset hour draws considerable attention. Breakfast is included in most room rates and is served either on private suite terraces or in the restaurant.
A spa occupies the lowest terrace, with two treatment bales embedded in the vegetation at the valley edge. Treatments follow traditional Balinese methods including warm oil massages and herbal body wraps. A small yoga deck hangs over the valley and is available for self-practice throughout the day.
The Campuhan Ridge Walk — a scenic walking path along a narrow ridge between two river valleys and among Ubud's most popular morning routes — starts within a 5-minute walk of the hotel, making Bisma Eight an ideal base for walkers and photographers. Ngurah Rai International Airport is approximately 60 minutes away.

Tips for visiting
- The rooftop restaurant fills at sunset — reserve a table by 5pm or arrive as a walk-in by 5:30pm; the valley views at dusk are exceptional and the kitchen remains open later than most Ubud restaurants.
- The Campuhan Ridge Walk trailhead is 5 minutes downhill from the hotel; departing no later than 7am catches the morning mist in the valley and avoids the midday heat.
- Suite terrace fencing is designed to allow unobstructed view photography — a wide-angle lens captures the full valley sweep from the plunge pool edge.
- Breakfast can be timed from 7am on the private terrace; ordering it the night before guarantees the freshest preparation and preferred timing.
Accessibility
Bisma Eight's stacked terrace design, with each suite on its own descending level connected by external stairs, means the property involves significant stepping throughout. There is no lift access between suite levels. The property is not well-suited to guests with wheelchair use or significant mobility limitations, and prospective guests with mobility needs are advised to contact the hotel before booking.
