Padma Resort Ubud
Five-star river-valley resort, Payangan near Ubud
Photos: Padma Resort Ubud
Padma Resort Ubud sits in a river valley at Payangan, north of Ubud town, looking out over bamboo and jungle forest. It is a full five-star resort with 149 rooms, and for weddings its main draw is scale. Most venues in the Ubud highlands are small valley chapels, but the Wedding Lawn here runs to around 2,500 square metres and holds up to 350 guests for a seated dinner, or up to 600 standing.
That size does not rule out a small day. The Bamboo Nest is an intimate structure perched over the valley, sized for a ceremony or dinner of up to 40 seated, and the Pool Lawn gives a private reception option in between. So the same resort can hold a big destination wedding or a quiet ceremony for close family, with the forest valley as the backdrop either way.
We treat Padma Resort Ubud as a match for couples planning a larger highland wedding who still want a dramatic jungle setting. Nightly room rates commonly run in the roughly USD 200 to 400 range, with wedding venue hire quoted separately. We reconfirm the current figures and venue options with the resort for your date.

Why we love it
Room for a large wedding
The Wedding Lawn runs to around 2,500 square metres and holds up to 350 guests for a seated banquet, or up to 600 standing. In the Ubud highlands, where most venues are small valley chapels, that scale is genuinely rare.
An intimate option too
The Bamboo Nest is a small sustainable structure that looks out over the river valley, sized for a ceremony or dinner of up to 40 seated. It gives couples a way to hold a very small ceremony at the same resort that can host a big one.
A dramatic valley setting
The resort sits in an unspoiled river valley at Payangan, north of Ubud, overlooking bamboo and jungle forest. The backdrop does a lot of the work, whether you are on the open lawn or perched in the Bamboo Nest.

Common questions
How large a wedding can Padma Resort Ubud hold?+
This is one of the larger-capacity Ubud venues. The Wedding Lawn takes up to 600 guests standing or around 350 for a seated banquet. If you are planning a big destination wedding in the highlands rather than an elopement, it is a strong fit.
Is there an option for a small ceremony?+
Yes. The Bamboo Nest is an intimate structure over the river valley, sized for up to 80 standing or 40 seated, so you can hold a small ceremony at the same resort that can host a large reception.
Where exactly is it?+
The resort is at Payangan, north of Ubud town, in an unspoiled river valley overlooking bamboo and jungle forest. It is a jungle-and-valley setting rather than central Ubud, so the drive in is longer and the outlook is more dramatic.
What does a wedding here cost?+
Nightly room rates commonly run in the roughly USD 200 to 400 range depending on dates, and wedding venue hire and packages are quoted separately per event. These are estimates to reconfirm, and we check current rates and availability with the resort for your dates.
