A Luxurious Retreat in the Ubud Jungle
Located just outside Ubud, the cultural and spiritual centre of Bali, Anantara Ubud Bali Resort provides an idyllic sanctuary amidst the island’s verdant rainforest. The resort is designed to complement the natural beauty of its surroundings, with contemporary Balinese architecture that blends seamlessly into the jungle landscape. Guests will find themselves enveloped in the sights and sounds of the jungle, with the gentle rush of the Ayung River nearby, creating a tranquil escape from the outside world.
With 70 spacious rooms, suites, and pool villas, Anantara Ubud offers a range of accommodations designed to connect guests with the surrounding landscape. Each room is carefully crafted with local materials, featuring natural wood finishes, stone accents, and private balconies that offer sweeping views of the jungle and river. The resort’s villas come complete with private pools, providing guests with an intimate, secluded experience in the heart of Bali’s lush wilderness.
Dining with a View: Savoring Bali’s Flavours

For a more casual experience, the Ayung Poolside Bar serves fresh cocktails and light bites in an idyllic riverside setting, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. A standout feature of the resort’s culinary offerings is the Anantara Dining by Design programme, where guests can enjoy personalised, private dining experiences within the resort’s lush gardens, riverside decks, or even in the comfort of their own villa.
Wellness Amidst the Jungle
True to Anantara’s reputation for wellness, the Ubud resort has a strong focus on rejuvenation and relaxation.
