Amandari: Jungle Sanctuary Above Ubud of Tradition & Tranquility

Aman Hotels & Resorts

The Discover Amandari journey offers a rare kind of escape—one where sacred rituals, hillside serenity, and authentic Balinese charm come together to create a sense of place unlike any other. Set just outside Ubud on the edge of the Ayung River Gorge, Amandari is a peaceful retreat carved into the jungle, guided by ancient spirits and the heartbeat of local village life.

A treasured part of Aman Hotels & Resorts’ global collection, Amandari embodies the brand’s devotion to harmony, heritage, and restorative stillness. Known for its serene designs and destination-focused experiences, Aman delivers more than just hospitality—it crafts soulful journeys.

Village-Like Living in a Forest of Stone and Green

From the moment you enter Amandari, the experience feels intimate and intentional. Inspired by a traditional Balinese village, the resort’s winding stone paths lead you through tropical foliage to standalone suites crafted from coconut wood and bamboo. Roofs are thatched with alang-alang grass, while outdoor bathtubs, shaded terraces, and select private pools allow for moments of solitude surrounded by nature.

The sacred stone tiger watching over the resort adds a mystical energy, while the dramatic views of rice terraces and the jungle below create a visual poem that flows from suite to valley.

Dining Amid Lotus Ponds and Island Bounty

Amandari invites you into a culinary narrative rooted in place. Here, each dish tells a story of Bali’s volcanic soil, seasonal harvests, and ceremonial customs. Whether it’s a sunrise breakfast by the lotus pond or an evening feast under stars and flickering torches, the menus reveal Indonesia’s rich culinary tapestry.

Local ingredients—like wild ginger, coconut, and river fish—take center stage, while traditional dishes are elevated through subtle refinement. Every bite feels both comforting and deeply connected to the land.

A Deeper Kind of Wellness, Led by Spirit and Earth

Wellness at Amandari isn’t about indulgence—it’s about alignment. Guided by Bali’s centuries-old spiritual traditions, the resort offers healing through energy work, natural therapies, and sacred rituals. A resident healer conducts melukat purification ceremonies using holy water and ancient chants, while wellness treatments incorporate native herbs, oils, and volcanic stone.

The setting itself—a quiet, green corner of Bali’s highlands—becomes part of the medicine. Yoga in open pavilions, silent meditation near the river gorge, and slow walks through the gardens become rituals of restoration.

Meaningful Encounters With Balinese Culture

Amandari connects guests not only to Bali’s landscapes, but to its living culture. Through immersive experiences, you’ll witness the rhythm of local life and participate in centuries-old practices.

You might study Balinese script with a local teacher, join a morning temple ceremony, or observe a woodcarver shaping mythological figures from jungle hardwoods. Every experience is curated with care and authenticity, deepening your connection to the island’s spiritual fabric.

Guests often highlight these memorable moments:

  • Learning traditional arts with local artisans
  • Private temple excursions with cultural guides
  • Sharing meals in family compounds
  • Joining processions during nearby village ceremonies

Let Amandari Call You Back to Balance

Amandari isn’t a destination to check off a list—it’s a quiet invitation to step into stillness, to witness sacred customs, and to feel the essence of Bali without filter. Whether you’re seeking spiritual renewal, time for inner reflection, or simply the luxury of space and silence, this hillside sanctuary delivers something profoundly personal.

Here, you’re not a tourist. You’re part of the story.
