Description
Amandari has been designed as a traditional Balinese Village and is situated on sacred land that is interwoven with the local community and their peaceful culture. True to local village design, the resort has river-stone walkways between stunning thatched-roofed suites, each one fronted with a Balinese-style gateway that leads to a peaceful and luxurious retreat.
All of Amandari's luxury suites are Balinese in style and are carefully crafted in coconut wood and teak, the roofs layered with alang alang thatching. The interior design and furnishings are classic Aman style, providing an elegant, comfortable, spacious suite with plenty of indoor and outdoor living area in your own private enclave.
Open air dining in Amandari's teak framed restaurant is an experience in itself - at night the adjacent pool is beautifully lit and you can dine on delicious fresh local, Indonesian or Western food with the gamelan orchestra playing in the nearby music pavilion with the resident frogs for accompaniment.
Ubud is known to be a spiritual and healing place and a visit to Amandari's spa, situated alongside calming lily clad ponds surrounded by lush foliage, confirms this. Body treatments include massages and scrubs using local Balinese ingredients hand picked for their soothing and healing properties. Wellness and beauty treatments can also take place in the comfort of your own suite or in the bale overlooking the Ayung River.
During your time at Amandari ride a mountain bike into Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali to explore the colourful markets and art galleries or explore the local area with invigorating treks including a walk along the Ayung Valley past sacred shrines, rice terraces, mango, coffee and clove trees. Whether you are looking for romance, adventure, culture or peace, Ubud really is one of the few fascinating and beautiful places in the world that has something for everyone.

When to travel
Straddling the equator, Indonesia tends to have a fairly even climate year-round. Rather than four seasons, Indonesia has two – dry (between May to September) and wet (between October to April) – and there are no extremes of temperature between winter and summer. In most parts of Indonesia, the wet season falls between October and April and the dry season between May and September. December and January see Bali at its most humid and rain tends to come in sudden tropical downpours, but it can also rain for more prolonged periods.
