Offering stunning views of the jungle, fine dining options and a wellness centre, this new resort is an opulent haven where modern elegance and traditional Bali customs meet.
Set in the tranquil Payangan, just north of Ubud, Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas is set to open Anantara Ubud Bali Resort on 1 October 2024. This is Anantara’s second property on the Indonesian island, offering a sophisticated escape that harmonises with the lush jungle and rich Balinese culture.
Situated near the hillside village of Banjar Puhu, Anantara Ubud Bali Resort offers an enchanting getaway from the everyday hustle. The resort is thoughtfully integrated into a verdant hillside, with 85 modern suites and pool villas cascading towards a peaceful mountain stream.
The accommodations at Anantara Ubud Bali Resort are designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment while providing modern luxury. The 53-square-metre suites, inspired by Hindu and Javanese traditions, feature calming neutral tones with subtle Balinese touches. Ground-level suites immerse guests in the jungle, while upper-floor suites offer dramatic treetop views from oversized bathtubs.
For those seeking more space and privacy, the resort offers one- and two-bedroom villas that reflect the area’s rich artisanal heritage. Each villa includes a spacious living area, an outdoor terrace, and a private infinity pool with unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape. The villas are furnished with natural materials and Balinese-inspired decor, creating a serene and luxurious retreat.
Guests can also choose to make Anantara Ubud Bali Resort their home with one of the 15 branded residences. These one-bedroom villas, perched on stilts over a misty valley, offer maximum privacy and stunning views. They feature elegant living and dining areas, fully equipped kitchens, and en-suite bedrooms that open onto private infinity pools. The two-bedroom villas are similarly designed, with indigenous details and ample natural light.
Anantara Ubud Bali Resort offers diverse dining options that highlight Balinese and international cuisines. Led by Executive Chef James Willis, the culinary team offers a contemporary dining experience at AMERTA, with open wood-fired cooking inspired by the surrounding forests. KIRANA serves authentic Indonesian flavours and an international breakfast buffet, with stunning views of Ubud’s tropical rainforest.
For a more relaxed experience, guests can visit the SULANG al fresco bar next to the adult-only swimming pool, where they can enjoy potent cocktails and inventive bar bites with meditative views of the misty valley. The Lobby Lounge serves morning coffee with a local blend and afternoon tea with views of Mount Agung, accompanied by the soothing sounds of gamelan. For special occasions, Anantara’s signature Designer Dining by Anantara experience invites guests to create a bespoke breakfast, picnic lunch or dinner with a private chef served in waterfalls, rice paddy, a private pavilion or any other setting that matches the occasion.
The resort is also a haven for wellness and relaxation, with two swimming pools, a jungle-clad yoga deck and a fully equipped gym. The Anantara Spa offers indigenous treatments, healing therapies, and multi-day wellness experiences, including volcanic stone therapy and holistic Balinese treatments.
Younger guests can enjoy the Kids’ Club, offering fun activities for all ages, while adults can participate in arts and crafts workshops, cultural performances, and cooking classes. Guided yoga and meditation sessions are also available, allowing guests to connect deeply with the serene environment.
