The Mira House, and Why We Keep Returning

A river-valley house above Ubud where the morning is the entire itinerary.

Anya Sorel

Some Ubud houses are designed for photographs. The Mira House is designed for the third morning, when you have stopped photographing and started just sitting there.

It sits over a river valley a short way out of central Ubud — close enough for Locavore and the market, far enough that the only sound at six is water and birds. The plan pulls everything toward the view: the bed, the bath, the long table.

It is the house guests ask for again by name, which is the only review that has ever meant anything to us.

We did nothing for five days and came back changed. That is the house.

Ubud rewards five nights more than three. Tell the concierge your window and we will check the calendar.
