A gravity-defying jungle retreat where Instagram dreams come true, assuming your dreams involve the world's most photographed infinity pool and a funicular that plays hard to get.
The rooms channel corporate hospitality meets tropical getaway – think Hilton goes to jungle finishing school. Staff apparently have VIP access to the funicular (you'll wait). Restaurant menu tries to be everything to everyone, succeeding at being decidedly adequate (7/10). The clouds put on a better show than dinner, especially at dusk.
Getting anywhere requires riding the resort's temperamental funicular, which adds adventure to even the simplest journey to the bar. Skip it if stairs aren't your love language or if you require immediate evacuation from happy hour. Located about 25 minutes from Ubud, this is a secluded retreat with limited nearby dining options, so most meals are in-house. The spa offers treatments incorporating local traditions, perfect for relaxing after exploring the jungle surroundings.
Fancy the VIP treatment? Book with us, and we’ll make it happen. Early check-in, late check-out? Sorted. Free breakfast? Of course. F+B voucher? We’ll work on it. Room upgrade? Probably.
It’s all about who you know, and with our FORA partnership, you’re always in the inner circle. We’ll confirm what perks we’ve arranged before you ever pay.
Perched on a sacred valley's edge, 25 minutes from Ubud. Nothing nearby except temple views and cloud performances, which is the point.

When the view outshines the menu
One restaurant trying to be all things to all people (spoiler: it can't). Menu spans continents but somehow forgets it's in Indonesia. Breakfast with a valley view almost makes up for the eerily silent dining room (someone please plug in a playlist). Poolside bar serves adequate sustenance between Instagram shoots. Dinner earns a solid 7/10 – like a C+ student with excellent attendance. Candlelit pool area after dark proves someone in F&B has a romantic streak. Given the remote location, you're rather stuck with these options unless you fancy a 25-minute drive to civilization. At least the cloud show provides dinner theater.
