At the heart of Bali, Cicada Resort Bali Ubud, Autograph Collection, offers an intimate boutique sanctuary for pathfinders seeking more than a conventional getaway. Inspired by the cicada’s symbolic journey of transformation and renewal, the resort invites guests to explore a deeply immersive experience shaped by Balinese mythology, spirituality, culture, craftsmanship, and the natural world. From arrival through renewal, every element encourages guests to slow down, look inward, embrace life’s sacred rhythms, and reconnect with what matters most.
This philosophy comes to life through Melukat, a traditional Balinese purification ceremony featuring sacred water that flows directly from Pura Bintang into the resort’s purification spring. Guided by a Pemangku, or Balinese priest, from the Sebatu Village community, this distinctive Autograph Moment begins with Mewacak, a traditional spiritual reading. The ritual helps determine whether the timing is considered auspicious and spiritually harmonious. When the signs are favorable, guests proceed with Melukat. If the timing is not aligned, the experience becomes an invitation to trust the natural flow of life and return when the moment is right.
Designed with an emphasis on natural wood and stone, the resort celebrates the artisanal traditions of Sebatu throughout its intimate surroundings. The property currently features 20 Suites and 10 Heated Pool Villas, with six additional villas planned to provide guests with even greater privacy, space, and seclusion.
The resort’s focus on spiritual and holistic wellbeing will expand further with the arrival of Pravi Spa in September 2026. Situated at the end of the Path of Dharma beside the peaceful Oos River, the spa will bring together time-honored healing practices and modern therapeutic approaches. Bespoke rituals, locally sourced natural ingredients, and the restorative qualities associated with holy water will create opportunities for guests to rejuvenate body, mind, and spirit.
The culinary experience begins at Tangelo Restaurant, where guests can enjoy breakfast and sundowner afternoon tea accompanied by the soothing sounds of cicadas. The restaurant then transitions into an à la carte semi-fine dining experience featuring international influences and daily performances. For a more relaxed and mindful setting, Verdant Pool Lounge & Bar offers wellness-focused dishes and refreshing local flavors amid lush greenery and a tranquil poolside atmosphere.
