Bloomfield Bali — Why Umalas Is Bali’s Best‑Kept Secret
When people start planning a trip to Bali, they usually hear about Seminyak or Canggu first. What many visitors don’t realize is that there’s a quiet area right in between them: Umalas – one of the best places in Bali to stay if you want both convenience and calm.
After coming to Bali for more than 40 years, I knew I didn’t want a hotel in the middle of a touristy area. I wanted somewhere peaceful, green, and genuinely enjoyable to stay while still being close to Bali’s most loved destinations. That’s exactly why I chose Umalas as the home of Bloomfield Bali.
Where Is Umalas and Bloomfield Bali?
Umalas is located right between Seminyak and Canggu. Bloomfield Bali itself is less than 10 minutes from the Pantai Batu Beling beach and offers incredibly easy access to Bali’s most popular areas without the constant traffic, crowds, and noise.
What Makes Umalas Special?
Umalas is one of the best areas if you want to stay somewhere quiet and residential while still having easy access to Canggu and Seminyak. You can head out for beach clubs, shopping, dining, or nightlife whenever you like, then come back to a calm oasis. My guests at Bloomfield Bali often praise how surprisingly peaceful it feels in Umalas.
Another major advantage is how easy the area has become to navigate. New wide roads and proper footpaths make getting around very simple. You can comfortably walk to nearby cafés, shops, fitness studios, and everyday conveniences.
What Can You Do in Umalas?
Although quieter than neighboring areas, Umalas has developed into a fantastic lifestyle destination. The neighborhood is home to a growing number of cafés, restaurants, and wellness studios.
Within just a few minutes you can find everything you need for a comfortable stay in Bali :
- Excellent dining spots
- Organic food stores and supermarkets
- Boutique clothes and homeware shops
- Yoga and Pilates studios
- A brand-new international hospital
