About

Amandari Ubud Hotel & Resort is surely one of the world's best hotels. Just five minutes from the art community of Ubud in central Bali, Amandari (means peaceful) spirits is perched on an escarpment high above the winding Ayung River gorge. The village of Kedewatan and its rice terraces lie alongside the resort. Designed as a Balinese village, Amandari has river-stone walkways and high paras-stone walls.

The pathway that runs through Amandari and down the valley to the river below is said to be sacred land. Every six months for hundreds of years, Balinese have taken the path down to a pool of holy water. Just above this spring-fed pool sits three modest shrines and an ancient carved into rock. Amandari reflects the upcountry village culture of art and music and dance and design that surrounds it. It is this inspired integration of the resort with the Balinese world about it that makes Amandari a memorable experience.
