A multi-generational family estate now branches into curved, lotus-inspired villas hanging over the Petanu River ravine.

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The villas range from garden-facing retreats among old trees to contemporary curved structures overlooking the jungle canopy and river below.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Goa Gajah's ancient cave temple sits just down the road, and central Ubud is a short drive away.
The rooms
Skylight Villas have automated glass roofs that open above the bed, and balconies look out over the Petanu ravine.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A curved infinity pool hangs over the Petanu ravine, and a timber gazebo shades the stone garden pool.
The spa and yoga deck
Bodywork at BuKi Spa includes hot stone rituals and guided journeys, and yoga meets on a circular timber deck.
At the table
Jingga serves Indonesian plates under terracotta lamps by the pool, and Lokal Kafe pours coffee among mature garden trees.
How it began
The grounds served as a private family estate for three generations, with original timber pavilions designed by architect Hendra Hadiprana.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
