Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve
Bali, Indonesia
Everything about Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve is designed to soothe mind, body and soul. From check-in to check-out, guests are encouraged to switch off at this serene sanctuary, which is set in Ubud's Ayung River valley. The retreat is modelled on a traditional Balinese village, built into the hillside around a terraced rice field. The 35 suites and 25 pool villas offer endless views across the jungle canopy to the river below, with Malaysian-based interior designer Jeffrey Wilkes fusing a traditional Balinese aesthetic (dark woods, rattan, jute, teak floors) with contemporary-luxe mod cons (marble bathrooms, feather beds), while your personal butler adds to the harmony. There’s a smattering of restaurants and bars amongst the jasmine-scented gardens: contemporary Japanese at Ambar and all-day dining at Sawah, while sampling the hyper-regional tasting menu in one of Kubu’s nine bamboo cocoons is a memory-maker. With its focus on spirituality and wellbeing, the resort’s spa is the jewel in its crown, offering soothing holistic treatments and rituals, as well as a yoga pavilion, meditation temple and vitality pool.
