The house
Hoshino ResortsJungle ryokan retreat
Slatted timber gazebos hover over the jungle canopy, while paths wind between thatched villas and gently flowing water channels.
“architect Rie Azuma has strung thirty villas along a dense three-hectare stretch of rainforest, rice terraces and shrines.”
What it’s good at

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
The interiors combine traditional local craftsmanship with Hoshinoya’s signature luxe minimalism, and the comforts are top-shelf.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Tucked in the quiet Tampaksiring highlands, the property sits above the sacred Pakerisan River, minutes from historic water temples and rock shrines.
The rooms
Thatched villas feature batik box lanterns, intricate woodcarvings, and private poolside terraces stepping directly into shared canal pools.
The canal pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Three turquoise canal pools stretch between rows of thatched villas, giving each terrace direct access to the water.
The spa
Treatment rooms open directly to the river gorge, with vaulted timber ceilings and soaking tubs overlooking the valley.
Yoga and baths
Daily yoga sessions greet the morning sun. On the timber decks, sunken baths are filled with fresh flower petals.
Restaurant
Café Gazebo
Slatted timber pavilions extend over the jungle canopy for morning matcha, daybed lounging, and candlelit dinners above the gorge.
The discretion and serenity of Hoshinoya sinks into you from the start, at a property where you're more likely to hear the sound of the jungle than the occupants of your neighboring villa.
How it began
Marked as the Japanese brand's first overseas retreat in 2017, architect Rie Azuma modeled the layout on Bali's ancient subak irrigation network.
“Hoshinoya Bali, near the quiet Balinese village of Tampaksiring, outside of Ubud, makes it easy for guests to indulge in sensory experiences.”
