Finding refuge in the traditional hillside village of Banjar Puhu, Payangan, the newly opened Anantara Ubud Bali Resort promises true seclusion in a jungle-ensconced retreat found north of Ubud.
The resort’s commodious accommodations complement the highland surroundings, lush scenes of rice fields and rainforest. Guests can choose from a selection of 85 commodious suites and pool villas, each offering plenty of space to breathe and relax. The suites, each an airy 53 square metres, boast plush furnishings crafted from natural materials, with subtle Balinese adornments giving each room a timeless elegance.
Oversized bathtubs positioned by expansive viewing windows to the forest and private garden balconies. Meanwhile, private infinity pools positioned on the edge of forest-facing terraces make for the ultimate view from the one- and two-bedroom villas, each served by a dedicated villa host. Grand, marbled bathrooms and balconies add to a palatial, five-star feeling of each accommodation.
Though only minutes drive away from central Ubud, Anantara Ubud Bali is designed to make guests feel like they are worlds away, offering a comprehensive selection of in-house facilities including two heated swimming pools, one for adults and one of families, a jungle-clad yoga deck, fully-equipped gym by TechnoGym, and a dedicated kids club and teen facilities.
When it comes to dining, Amerta is the resort’s signature restaurant where Chef James Willis brings his fine dining expertise to the fore, offering Mediterranean-inspired, fireside dining for lunch and dinner. Kirana, the resort’s all-day dining venue, is where lavish international breakfast buffets and authentic Indonesian flavours are found; Lobby Lounge is where to enjoy afternoon tea and views of Mt.Agung, and Sulang alfresco bar is an intimate cocktail spot come evening.
Finally, the renowned Anantara Spa is given its own standalone building, set as a separate destination for ultimate relaxation and downtime. Guests can enjoy indigenous treatments and healing therapies, hair styling at the on-site salon, and other wellness experiences from visiting practitioners.
