Ubud Hanging Gardens, Bal

Friday, November 6, 2009


With its evocative name, you would expect Ubud Hanging Gardens to be nothing less than paradise on earth—and it is. Between the lush vegetation in vibrant, riotous colours and the dazzling blue sea, the stunning landscape is simply hypnotizing. But nothing compares to a home-away-from-home that consists of a sumptuous private villa embracing the rolling rice terraces of Ubud.

Culture mavens will love that Ubud is the artistic heart of Bali, and the resort highlights this connection through the exquisite culinary artistry and exotic decorative touches found around every corner. Other pursuits to occupy your time at the Hanging Gardens include an invigorating spa, two-level infinity pool, magnificent gardens, onsite boutique, and entertaining cooking classes.

Each of the 38 luxury private pool villas includes a heated private infinity plunge pool; spectacular terrace; and panoramic views of the mountains, Ayung River, and the revered Pura Penataran Dalem Segara temple. The gorgeous accommodations also boast plush bathrobes and slippers, posh toiletries, broadband access, CD and DVD players, and a welcome basket with little treats like fresh fruit and beverages.

Dining
The collection of restaurants at Ubud Hanging Gardens offers a variety of tastes, but they do have two things in common: their compelling vistas and the use of fresh, organic ingredients. Beduur Restaurant is known for its Asian-French fusion cuisine, with a choice of indoor or outdoor dining. Diatas Pohon Café is a treat for health-conscious guests, with light fare such as salads, spring rolls, and delicious fruit juice concoctions. The Bukit Becik Bar is an open-air lounge where you can take in the views while sipping a cocktail. Private, in-villa dining is always available, as well as picnic meals for you to take on your Balinese explorations.

Spa
The Ayung Spa thrills all of your senses with treatments that incorporate intoxicating aromas and the expert knowledge of trained therapists. Three spacious pavilions are dedicated specifically to spa therapies and include a dressing area and bath that overlooks the river—while retaining complete privacy, of course. Choose from a menu of sessions that includes facials, scrubs, restorative baths, massages, and reflexology. For even more privacy and convenience, book an in-room spa treatment. Further relaxation can be found in the resort’s large elliptical infinity pool, which winds around the natural curves of the hillside and occupies two levels.

Hotel Features
Learn to cook the Balinese way with private cooking instruction from the Ubud Hanging Gardens chef. First, a guided walk through the surrounding area will showcase where locals grow vegetables and spices. Next, you’ll journey to the resort kitchens, where you and the chef will create three unique Balinese dishes together, all the while learning about ingredient preparation, cooking techniques, and plate presentation.

Meetings
Ubud Handing Gardens presents a range of indoor and outdoor venues that are ideal settings for intimate weddings. Choose the type of wedding you desire, and the resort’s planning experts will get to work to produce the perfect, stress-free day for you and your loved ones—from the food and flowers to the legal details.

Location
A unique haven nestled on a dramatic hillside overlooking the Ayung River gorge, the Ubud Hanging Gardens offers the ultimate in luxury and tranquillity. Within easy access of the hustle and bustle of Ubud, the arts and cultural center of the island, this prestigious hotel offers the best of both worlds.

23.5 miles from International Ngurah Rai Airport.
