Amandari – A Spiritual Refuge Above the Ayung Gorge
Perched on the sacred edge of the Ayung River Gorge, just outside the heart of Ubud, Amandari embodies the spirit of a traditional Balinese village. Winding stone paths, thatched rooftops, and ancient shrines form the soul of this peaceful enclave—watched over by a sacred stone tiger that’s stood for centuries.
A Village Retreat Rooted in Nature
Each suite is enclosed by paras stone walls and set within tropical gardens. Interiors are crafted from coconut wood and teak, with sliding glass doors that open entirely to the outdoors—blurring the line between shelter and jungle breeze.
For those traveling in groups, the Three-Bedroom Amandari Villa offers:
- Five private pavilions surrounded by lush greenery
- A split-level 14-metre pool overlooking rice terraces
- Separate glass-walled living room and open-air bale
- Dedicated vehicle and two full-time staff for seamless service
All stays include:
- Roundtrip airport transfers
- Daily à la carte breakfast and afternoon tea
- In-room refreshments and non-alcoholic beverages
- One 30-minute sauna or steam session per day
- Private transport to and from Museum Puri Lukisan
- Daily Balinese dance or rindik classes with local children
