Amandari – A Cultural Sanctuary in Ubud’s Jungle and Rice Terraces

Perched on a lush ridge above the Ayung River Gorge, Amandari reflects the soul of Balinese village life through tranquil design and deep cultural resonance. Inspired by a traditional Balinese compound, the resort is home to 30 thatched-roof villas linked by volcanic stone paths, tropical gardens, and lotus-filled ponds. Interiors of teak, coconut wood, bamboo, and Javanese marble embody ancient craftsmanship, offering a harmonious blend of heritage and refined modern comfort.

Ubud’s Serene Retreat

Every villa opens to its own private courtyard, with sunken marble baths, twin vanities, and in select pavilions, plunge pools overlooking sweeping rice terraces and the jungle canopy. The curved infinity pool mirrors the contours of the surrounding paddies, set beside the restaurant where stone pavilions and the soft notes of gamelan at dusk create an atmosphere of quiet enchantment. Despite its peaceful seclusion, the heart of Ubud is only minutes away.
