The Living Space
At Uma Jiwa, the main space is the heart of the property - an open, flowing sanctuary where guests are invited to gather, unwind, and simply be. Designed as a seamless extension of nature, it opens fully onto the surrounding greenery, dissolving the line between indoors and out.
Here, mornings begin slowly with soft light and the sounds of the river, and days unfold in a rhythm of shared meals, quiet moments, and meaningful connection. The entire property is yours to enjoy - a place to move freely, come together, or find stillness in your own way.
Nestled in a lush enclave of Ubud, Uma Jiwa feels like a hidden world. The garden wraps gently around the space, with a flowing river, a tranquil pond, and layers of tropical greenery creating a sense of calm and privacy.
This is more than a common area - it’s a living, breathing space where nature, design, and togetherness come into harmony.

The heart of Uma Jiva Estate is an open living and dining pavilion designed to bring people together in complete harmony with nature. Framed by panoramic rice field views, the space flows effortlessly between lounging, dining and slow living. At its centre sits a sunken sofa crafted for long conversations and quiet evenings, alongside an oversized dining table carved from a single piece of wood, welcoming up to 18 guests. Every piece of furniture was custom designed for Uma Jiwa and handcrafted by local artisans, blending raw textures with timeless Balinese simplicity. This central gathering space gently connects all villas across the estate while remaining open to the breeze, light and surrounding landscape.

The infinity pool stretches toward the rice fields, reflecting the changing light of Bali from sunrise to dusk. Surrounded by a warm wooden deck and tropical greenery, it was designed as a place of complete stillness and ease. Whether for a quiet morning swim or slow afternoons under the sun, the pool invites guests to fully unwind while remaining deeply connected to nature.

Hidden within the gardens, the Yoga Shala is a peaceful sanctuary surrounded by tropical greenery and the sounds of nature. Designed for movement, meditation and quiet rituals, the space carries a grounding and deeply calming atmosphere. Beneath the Shala, guests can enjoy the private SPA area - a secluded place for rest, treatments and moments of restoration inspired by the slower rhythm of Bali.

Hidden deeper within the gardens, the fire pit is a quiet place created for evening gatherings beneath the stars. Surrounded by nature and the soft sounds of the river nearby, it invites slow conversations, moments of reflection and intimate fire rituals after sunset. As the light fades, the space transforms into one of the most atmospheric corners of the Estate.

The gardens of Uma Jiwa have been carefully designed to feel both wild and intentional - a landscape where tropical plants, water and stone exist in quiet balance. Winding pathways lead through lush greenery, past a river, lotus ponds and hidden corners created for rest and contemplation. Tended daily with care, the garden allows guests to fully immerse themselves in the beauty, softness and natural rhythm of Bali.
