Ubud’s phalanx of stunning properties has been bolstered with the opening of Anantara Ubud Bali.
Offering a serene jungle retreat and overlooking lush hinterland in every direction the resort’s terraced villas and pools provide a serene escape with views of Bali’s untouched natural beauty.
The property features 85 modern suites and pool villas cascading down a densely forested hillside. Each 53-square-meter suite, designed with airy, contemporary interiors, includes oversized bathtubs overlooking the jungle.
Ground-floor suites have cosy balconies, while Payangan Suites on upper levels offer private garden balconies. The one- and two-bedroom villas, complete with infinity pools and dedicated hosts, span over 105 square meters and feature natural materials and Balinese design details for a timeless, elegant experience.
Dining at the resort is led by Amerta, a signature restaurant from Chef James Willis, specializing in Mediterranean-inspired fireside dishes cooked over an open, wood-fired grill. Kirana, an all-day dining venue, serves authentic Indonesian dishes and a lavish international breakfast buffet, while Sulang alfresco bar offers specialty coffee, tea, and crafted cocktails by the adult-only pool.
Afternoon tea is served at the Lobby Lounge with views of Mount Agung, and two pool bars ensure refreshments are never far away. For a unique experience, Designer Dining by Anantara provides bespoke meals in breathtaking settings, from waterfalls to rice paddies.
From arrival, guests are immersed in Balinese culture. A kinetic sculpture by artist Aaron Taylor Kuffner, inspired by gamelan music, welcomes visitors into the lobby.
Amenities at Anantara Ubud Bali include two heated swimming pools, a jungle yoga deck, and a TechnoGym-equipped fitness center. Anantara Spa offers holistic Balinese treatments, including the Taksu Massage for deep relaxation and the Siraman Journey—a 180-minute ritual for couples that combines massage, body scrub, and a romantic bath.
