Nestled among Ubud’s verdant tropical canopy, Hanging Gardens of Bali is the vacation destination of your Instagram dreams. Dramatically perched on a cliff’s edge, the luxurious retreat boasts a collection of 44 private villas, each with its own stunning pool overlooking the lush Ayung River gorge. A funicular from the hotel lobby brings you up to your villa and allows you to take in the spectacular views along the way. If you can tear yourself away from your dreamy accommodation, one of the world’s most Instagrammed infinity pools awaits for a swoon-worthy swim.
Other perks include indulgent treatments at the tranquil Spa Collection, mouthwatering plates at the exclusive Three Elements restaurant and a slew of immersive cultural activities like Balinese dance performances and cooking classes. With its secluded location, breathtaking views and attentive service, Hanging Gardens of Bali promises an unforgettable escape for travelers looking for luxury in Bali’s lush natural paradise.
- Nature is everything at Hanging Gardens of Bali. Thick jungle ensconces the boutique hotel. Thatched roof villas peeking through tropical foliage covered in mist and connected by landscaped pathways provide natural serenity.
- The luxury hotel's Spa Collection offers a range of holistic treatments inspired by Balinese healing traditions, including relaxing massages, smoothing body scrubs and hydrating facials, all performed in open-air pavilions amid the tranquil sounds of the rainforest.
- Dine on Indonesian-meets-Western cuisine among the jungle canopy at the alfresco Three Elements restaurant. Dishes range from corn ribs to curries, but the highlight here is nasi goreng satu juta, an indulgent fried rice topped with fresh scallops, baked lobster, pork ribs, Balinese duck curry, sambal udang, red snapper sambal matah and chicken satay.
- The centerpiece of this Bali hotel is the striking freeform infinity pool that spans across multiple levels, mimicking the region’s rice paddies. Surrounded by foliage, you’ll feel like you’re swimming among the treetops.
- While you could spend all day luxuriating in your private pool villa, you’ll also want to check out the resort’s cultural offerings to get a feel for your spectacular surroundings. Guided hikes, temple tours and Balinese cooking classes are all on offer for those looking for an authentic vacation experience.
- The 44 beautiful villas draw design inspiration from traditional Balinese architecture. Alang-alang thatched roofs help the accommodations blend seamlessly into their verdant surroundings while dark woods and open-air living spaces allow the vibrant jungle views to take center stage.
- Four-poster beds draped with billowing canopies bring an elegant touch to the jungle-chic decor, as do intricately carved wooden details found throughout the accommodations.
- Elegant bathrooms feature a blend of rough-hewn natural stone and sleek, dark woods for a spa-like escape among the treetops. Fluffy robes and deep-soaking tubs add to the tranquil ambiance.
- The pièce de résistance of the Ubud hotel’s villas are the individual infinity pools. Each comes with valley views and a furnished pool deck boasting a gazebo and sunbeds — a stunning perch from which to enjoy an in-villa breakfast if you don’t choose a floating in-pool option.
