Dreaming of saying "I Do" suspended between the rainforest and the river? Maya Ubud Resort & Spa is more than just a venue; it is an experience.
Nestled in the spiritual heart of Bali, this resort offers that perfect blend of "Secluded Sanctuary" and "5-Star Luxury." Whether you want a micro-wedding or a grand celebration, here is why Maya Ubud is the current obsession for brides-to-be.
The Location: Hidden but Accessible
Maya Ubud sits dramatically between the Petanu River valley and vibrant rice terraces.
- Airport Access: A scenic 1 hour 13-minute drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS).

The Venue & Wedding Packages
Forget filters; the lighting here is magical. Maya Ubud specialises in backdrops that scream Pinterest-worthy.

- Starlight Deck: Ideal for a romantic dinner reception under the Bali night sky.
The Packages: From intimate Elopements (just the two of you) to Grand Celebrations (up to 100 guests), the resort caters to bespoke themes, be it Modern Minimalist or Royal Balinese.
