Desa Pramana Swan Villa

We came here to unwind and it was perfect for that, with lots of privacy and beautiful surroundings. The villas are stunning, and the staff are so welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The black sand beach is lovely and usually quiet, but the water is rough, so it isn't suitable for swimming. There are plenty of places to eat along the beach. For shopping or groceries you'll need transport, though you can also order things in, so it wasn't a problem for us. Amazing value for money, and I'll be recommending this place to everyone.

We were a group of ten, with children and teenagers, and there was plenty for everyone to enjoy. The team even arranged a beautiful 25th anniversary vow renewal for a couple in our group. It was handled so well and became a really touching memory. The staff at reception, in the restaurant, and in housekeeping were always smiling and ready to help. Our villa had a lovely private pool and great amenities, and the floating breakfast was a big hit. At the beachside restaurant, the view was wonderful and the buffet was delicious, with good à la carte choices too. Since many of us were vegetarian and wanted to try Balinese food, the chef and staff talked it through with us and put together a really tasty vegetarian Balinese meal. Desa Swan Villas and Spa is a lovely place to get away from the busy routine, relax, and enjoy Balinese hospitality. I'd recommend it for solo trips, families, kids, or friends.

The peaceful, luxurious villas come in three or four bedroom options, each with a private pool. They're spread across a huge property that reaches the beach, and a chauffeured buggy can take you around the grounds or to nearby places. A must-experience spot in Ubud.

Our four-room villa was great, and the private pool was really nice. The team at Desa Swan were polite, courteous, and always ready to help. The place is wonderfully secluded from the city, right by its unique black sand beach. I loved the waves and seeing so many people surfing. The rooms were cool too. I loved our stay and would highly recommend it if you're after a private villa with a pool beside the beach.
