Amandari – Timeless Tranquility in the Cultural Heart of Bali

Perched above the verdant Ayung River Gorge near Ubud, Amandari—a name synonymous with serenity—invites guests into the spiritual and artistic soul of Bali. Designed to reflect a traditional Balinese village, the resort is a masterclass in understated elegance and cultural authenticity, where thatched-roof suites, paras-stone walls, and winding river-stone pathways create a harmonious connection with the surrounding landscape.

Located in Kedewatan, just five minutes from Ubud, Amandari offers 30 exquisite suites—each with a private courtyard and elevated touches such as outdoor sunken marble baths, twin vanities, and hand-carved Javanese marble floors. Select suites include private plunge pools or split-level layouts with sleeping areas set on serene mezzanines. The Amandari Suite features detached pavilions, a private swimming pool, and panoramic views of the Ayung Gorge. For the ultimate in seclusion and indulgence, the Amandari Villa—nestled amid rice terraces—comprises five pavilions, a two-tiered pool, lush gardens, dedicated staff, and a private vehicle on call.

Amandari’s open-air restaurant, crafted from teak wood, overlooks the sweeping gorge and the tranquil pool below, offering refined Indonesian and international cuisine. The bar, library, and fitness center—with its views of a lotus pond—complement the serene atmosphere. The Aman Spa, a hallmark of the brand, delivers holistic treatments in outdoor massage bales, enhanced by tropical gardens and the soft sounds of water and birdsong.

Woven into the cultural fabric of Bali, Amandari offers more than just a place to stay—it offers an immersion into timeless tradition, nature, and soul-soothing luxury. A peaceful pathway even leads from the resort to a sacred river shrine, adding a spiritual dimension to this already extraordinary retreat.

Access: Amandari is located approximately 1.5 hours by car from Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), Denpasar.
