Amandari in Ubud Bali influenced by a unique variant of Hinduism, culminating in a peaceful spiritual environment. The profundity of this ethos lies within the lush green valleys, sacred rice terraces, meandering rivers and inspiriting, though modest, shrines.

Amandari or ‘peaceful spirits,’ embraces the quintessence of Bali’s ancient striking traditions, reflecting the harmony and inner peace of a people whose lifeblood is a manifestation of a combined dedication to virtuousness, warmth and inner prosperity.

Amandari opened in 1989. It is located five minutes from the art community of Ubud, in Central Bali. The village of Kedewatan lies adjacent to the resort. Designed as a Balinese village. Amandari in Ubud has river-stone walkways and high paras-stone walls.

The open-air lobby was designed after a wantilan, a village meeting place. The pathway that runs through Amandari in Ubud and down the valley to the river below is sacred land. Every six months for hundreds of years, Balinese people have taken the path down to a pool of holy water. Just above this spring-fed pool sit three modest shrines and an ancient tiger carved into rock.

Accommodation at Amandari in Bali 

Amandari in Ubud Bali is designed in the same style as the charming local village within which it is located. While the 21st century has been so well accommodated with subtle necessity and in sympathetic style, Amandari's charm and luxury is bedded in its authentic architectural depiction of the neighbouring indigenous lifestyle.

The palette of honey, cream and white on simple fine lines, with handwoven batiks, is soothing, relaxing and appealing. Nothing interferes with the lush, tropical vegetation throughout the resort; the dense equatorial greens of the surrounding plants, palms and rice terraces are reflected in the resorts many glistening pools. Balinese style stone gateways front Amandari's 30 walled, thatched-roof suites, each with a private garden courtyard. Wireless broadband connections are available in all suites and public areas.

All Amandari Suites offer a garden courtyard, living area and wall-sized sliding glass doors that open on three sides to the lush surroundings. The bathroom features twin vanities and dressing areas, a separate shower and toilet and an outdoor sunken marble bath behind a glass door. Walled but entirely open to the sky, the sunken tub is framed by large stone planters of ferns and heliconia.

Suites come either as a single-storey or two-level duplex. The duplexes have a queen-size, four-poster bed on a mezzanine level while the single-storey suites offer a king-size bed.
