Anantara Ubud Bali Resort has confirmed it will welcome first guest from 1 October 2024. A tropical retreat neighbouring the traditional hillside village of Banjar Puhu in the north, Anantara Ubud Bali is Anantara’s second property to open on the Indonesian island.
A collection of 85 modern suites and pool villas as well as 15 branded residences cascading down a densely forested hill towards a mountain stream, the resort is situated close to the vibrant cultural life of Ubud. Contemporary 53 square-metre suites place guests into the thick of the jungle, with gently rustling tree branches and soothing sounds of the babbling stream providing a natural soundtrack. One- and two-bedroom villas, all with infinity pools, are designed as calming oases perched among the treetops.
Culinary options range from signature venue Amerta, where local dishes prepared in a wood-fired oven celebrate Bali’s bounty; to local fare and nutritious breakfast at Kirana; Sulang’s misty valley views and smart cocktails; and afternoon tea and all-day coffee backed by a stunning Mount Agung’s panorama at The Lobby Lounge. For special occasions, the signature Designer Dining experience is an opportunity to host a private picnic lunch by a waterfall or a formal dinner in a private pavilion.
The resort’s leisure facilities include two heated swimming pools, adult-only and family, a jungle-clad yoga deck and a spacious gym. The youngest travellers will have their own space at the Kids’ Club. Anantara Spa, where the lush forest and flowing stream immerse guests in nature, offers indigenous treatments and healing therapies alongside multi-day wellness experiences.
When not exploring central Ubud’s trendy eateries, fashion boutiques and art galleries, guests can join on-site arts and crafts workshops, hands-on cooking classes, as well as guided yoga and meditation. For natural immersion, the breathtaking beauty of the island’s uplands awaits right on the doorstep, from emerald rice fields to Hindu temples and shrines.
The resort is located a 2.5-hour drive from Denpasar International Airport. To celebrate the opening, Anantara Ubud Bali has launched a special stay package, Ubud Indulgence Awaits, valid until 31 March 2025. For more information, please visit anantara.com/en/ubud-bali.
