The resort features 85 modern suites and pool villas cascading down the forested hill towards a mountain stream. The 53-square-metre suites exude an atmosphere of relaxation, with expansive windows framing breathtaking jungle views, and oversized bathtubs placed to maximize the experience. Ground-floor suites boast cosy balconies surrounded by mature trees, while the upper-level Payangan Suites offer private gardens on spacious balconies.
For an even more luxurious experience, the one- and two-bedroom villas, starting at 105 square metres, are served by a dedicated villa host and feature large living spaces, private infinity pools, and forest-facing terraces. The interiors, with tactile furnishings crafted from natural materials and a neutral colour palette, embody timeless elegance infused with subtle Balinese touches.
The resort's signature restaurant, Amerta, helmed by Chef James Willis, offers Mediterranean-inspired fireside dining for lunch and dinner. Guests can enjoy wood-fired grilled dry-aged meats and fish, with an emphasis on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. For more casual dining, Kirana serves authentic Indonesian dishes alongside an international breakfast buffet and stunning tropical views. Guests can also relax at Sulang alfresco bar with small plates and expertly crafted cocktails, or unwind in the Lobby Lounge overlooking Bali’s Mount Agung.
Anantara Ubud Bali also offers a range of immersive cultural experiences. From Balinese gamelan music greeting guests at the lobby, to hands-on workshops with local artisans, the resort showcases the island’s vibrant heritage. Guests can learn basket weaving or batik, or join the Spice Spoons cooking class, which starts with a visit to a local market and ends with a delicious homemade meal.
The resort’s natural surroundings offer countless opportunities for exploration, from nature drives with the resident Naturalist to hidden jungle waterfall hikes and guided tours of iconic Bali landmarks. For those seeking spiritual rejuvenation, the nearby Mengening Temple offers a sacred water purification ceremony, while the fire ceremony led by Idha Guru Sri Empu, a revered High Priest, offers transformative energy healing.
Beyond relaxation, Anantara Ubud Bali also offers wellness experiences such as the Taksu Massage, combining shiatsu, Hawaiian lomi-lomi, and Balinese massage for deep relaxation and tension relief, and the Siraman Journey, a romantic 180-minute couples' treatment. The standalone Anantara Spa also provides indigenous healing therapies and wellness programs led by visiting practitioners.
Guests can maintain their fitness routine at the fully equipped gym or on the jungle-clad yoga deck, while families can enjoy two heated swimming pools, a kids' club, and a dedicated teen zone. The resort also features two state-of-the-art meeting rooms and a selection of beautiful venues for destination weddings, including the Lobby Garden and the intimate Wanakasa room.
Anantara Ubud Bali is located just minutes from Ubud’s vibrant cultural scene, yet feels worlds away, offering the perfect sanctuary for rest and rejuvenation. A scenic three-hour drive from Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport, it promises an unforgettable escape into the heart of Bali’s natural beauty.
