Located only a few minutes from the art community of Ubud,
in Central Bali. Amandari resort is set on the very
edge of the Ayung River gorge, with the village of Kedewatan
adjacent.
Designed as a Balinese village, with river-stone walkways
and high paras-stone walls. The pathway that runs through
and down the valley to the river below is said to be sacred
land. Paths lead to surrounding villages, most of Bali's cultural
and scenic offerings are within easy reach.
Resort Accommodation:
Balinese-style stone gateways front Amandari's 30 walled,
thatched-roof suites. Each terrace suite features a large
combined bedroom and living room, with all facilities, including
a bar and music system. In a duplex suite, the living room
and bar are located on the ground level, with the bedroom
and its queen-size bed on the second level. Eleven terrace
and duplex suites come with private swimming pools.
Twin vanities and dressing areas, separate shower and toilet
rooms and Javanese marble flooring lend elegance to the Amandari
bathroom. Each bathroom also enjoys an outdoor, sunken marble
bathtub framed by stone planters filled with ferns and baby
bamboo.
The Asmara Suite and the Ayung Suite are duplex accommodations,
with private swimming pools and picturesque views of the adjacent
rice terraces and valley. Available with one or two detached
bedrooms, includes a separate living room pavilion, a swimming
pool, an outdoor dining bale of teak and bamboo and views
of the Ayung River gorge.
The resort has recently added a private,
three-bedroom villa to its accommodations. Located alongside
the Ayung River gorge, adjacent to the resort, the 1,500-square-meter
site overlooks fields of rice and the distant peaks of Batukau,
Sanglyang and Lesong. The Balinese-style villa compound includes
five pavilions: three detached, terrace-style bedrooms; a
separate living room walled entirely in windows and sliding-glass
doors; and a fully fitted kitchen complete with staff quarters.
The villa is crafted largely of coconut wood and teak. Interior
design and furnishings are in classic style. An outdoor dining
bale is set alongside a reflection pond. A garden and a landscaped
deck embrace the two-tiered swimming pool.
The Villa is no more than a minute's drive from the resort
proper. A vehicle is always on call, should villa guests wish
to take advantage of any of Amandari's facilities. The villa
comes with two staff; a chef is on call.
