“Ritz-Carlton has just opened its third Reserve property, Mandapa, in Ubud, Bali. Nestled along the Ayung River and surrounded by lush jungle, this retreat is located in Bali’s cultural and spiritual heart. Mandapa, named after the entrance to a traditional Hindu temple, offers a tranquil escape where guests can relax and rejuvenate their minds, bodies, and souls.
The resort features 60 rooms, suites, and villas, each offering personalized attention from a dedicated Patih, or butler. The interiors blend traditional and contemporary Balinese design, using sustainably sourced materials that harmonize with the natural surroundings. The property evokes the feeling of a traditional Balinese village, complete with views of working rice paddies from private terraces. A central rice field at Mandapa gives guests the unique opportunity to learn and participate in traditional rice planting and harvesting.
Dining options at the resort include four restaurants and lounges, offering a range of authentic Indonesian cuisine, Mediterranean dishes, and health-conscious menus. The exclusive “”Dining Beyond”” program allows guests to enjoy tailor-made culinary experiences in special locations within the Reserve.
The Spa at Mandapa provides a holistic wellness experience, featuring eight treatment rooms, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a sauna, a riverfront yoga studio, and a vitality pool. The spa’s comprehensive programs are based on six pillars: Balinese Spa, Detox and Nutrition, Alternative Therapy, Body Therapy, and Healing.
For families, an organic garden, farm, and educational Kid’s Hut offer children a special and engaging experience. With rates starting at $570 per night, Mandapa promises a luxurious and serene escape in one of Bali’s most beautiful settings.”
