The elegant tropical Anantara Ubud Bali Resort, adjacent to the traditional mountain village of Banjar Puhu in northern Ubud, will become the second Anantara property to open on the Indonesian island when it welcomes its first guests on October 1, 2024.
A collection of 85 contemporary suites and pool villas, as well as 15 signature residences cascading down a lush forested hillside to a mountain stream, the tranquil resort is located close to Ubud's vibrant cultural scene, yet feels blissfully remote. Contemporary 53 square meter suites transport guests into the depths of the jungle with the soft rustling of tree branches and the soothing sounds of a babbling stream providing a natural soundtrack. Meanwhile, one- and two-bedroom villas, all with infinity pools, are designed as calming oases nestled among the treetops.
Culinary options range from the signature AMERTA spot, serving local dishes cooked in a wood-fired stoves that celebrate Bali's generosity; to local dishes and a nutritious breakfast at KIRANA; hazy views of the SULANG valley and exquisite cocktails; and all-day afternoon tea and coffee against the stunning backdrop of Mount Agung at The Lobby Lounge. For special occasions, the signature Designer Dining experience is the ability to host a private picnic by the waterfall or a formal dinner in a private pavilion.
Resort recreational amenities include two heated pools, adults-only and family-friendly, and a deck for jungle yoga and a spacious gym. The youngest travelers will have their own space in the kids' club. Where lush forests and a babbling stream immerse guests in nature, Anantara Spa offers local treatments and healing therapies along with multi-day wellness treatments. Two modern meeting rooms ensure a productive stay in an energetic, distraction-free environment.
If you don't feel like exploring the trendy eateries, trendy boutiques and art galleries in central Ubud, guests can join workshops on on-site arts and crafts, hands-on cooking classes, and guided yoga and meditation. For a natural immersion, the breathtaking beauty of the island's highlands awaits right on your doorstep, from emerald rice paddies to Hindu temples and shrines.
The resort is located in a picturesque location 2.5 hours' drive from Denpasar International Airport. To celebrate the opening, Anantara Ubud Bali has launched a special Ubud Indulgence Awaits package valid until March 31, 2025. For more information, visit www.anantara.com/en/ubud-bali.
