Amandari Hotel

Amandari (peaceful spirits) is located only a few minutes from the art community of Ubud, in Central Bali. The resort is set on the very edge of the Ayung River gorge, with the village of Kedewatan adjacent.
 
Amandari has been designed as a Balinese village, with river-stone walkways and high paras-stone walls. The pathway that runs through Amandari and down the valley to the river below is said to be sacred land. Paths lead from Amandari to surrounding villages. From Amandari, most of Bali's cultural and scenic offerings are within easy reach.

ACCOMMODATIONS

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, the Amandari Suite includes a separate living room pavilion, a swimming pool, an outdoor dining bale of teak and bamboo and views of the Ayung River gorge. 

Amandari 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 Amandari style. An outdoor dining bale is set alongside a reflection pond. A garden and a landscaped deck embrace the two-tiered swimming pool. 

The Amandari 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 Amandari staff; a chef is on call.
