Named after the entrance to a traditional Hindu
temple, Mandapa is set along the majestic Ayung River as
it meets the lush jungle in Ubud, the cultural and spiritual
heart of Bali. Offering individually tailored spiritual,
wellness, health and detox programs, complemented by the fulltime
personalized attention of a dedicated Patih or butler, the intimate
retreat is designed to be a sanctuary in which relaxing one's mind,
body, and soul comes naturally.
With only 35 luxurious and spacious suites, and 25 private pool
villas, guests can select from an exquisite collection of
accommodations that have been meticulously designed to magnify and
embrace the surrounding tropical landscape. The
traditional yet contemporary Balinese interiors by Jeffrey Wilkes of renowned Asia-based DESIGNWILKES have created a true
luxury experience designed to allure the world's most discerning
travelers. Every element of design at a Ritz-Carlton Reserve is
naturally inspired and sustainably sourced. In Mandapa, local
providers have infused the retreat with natural materials that
blend effortlessly into the natural surroundings.
The highly anticipated Reserve is an exclusive journey inside an
indigenous Balinese village, providing a sensory path to wellness
and nature. Unobstructed access to nature is an essential
component of the experience in Ubud where the power of the great
outdoors weaves its magic on interior comfort and is always
instantly accessible; even views of working rice paddies are
immediate from private terraces. As an ideal destination for
collectors of extraordinary moments, the center of Mandapa will
feature a traditional rice field, and allows guests to experience
the time-honored methods of planting, harvesting and tending this
local culinary staple.
Mandapa village will also be home to four restaurants &
lounges offering an array of authentic Indonesian cuisine,
Mediterranean dining, and tailored health-conscious menus for
wellness and detox programs incorporating the freshest local
ingredients. Dining Beyond, an exclusive culinary journey, will
allow guests the chance to dine in special and exclusive locations
within the Reserve and feature a tailor-made menu for each guest
experience.
The Spa at Mandapa will allow guests to continue to discover
peace of mind and body through holistic, comprehensive wellness and
lifestyle programs based on six pillars – Balinese Spa, Detox &
Nutrition, Alternative Therapy, Body Therapy, and Healing.
Featuring eight treatment rooms and utilizing both ESPA and local
products, the spa complex will also feature a state-of-the-art
fitness center, sauna, river-front yoga studio, vitality-pool, and
relaxation areas.
An organic garden, farm, and an educational Kid's Hut are tucked
away from the rest of the resort, to enable the smallest visitors
to take an exclusive journey. The curious minds of young guests
will be enriched with exciting, nature-based educational activities
designed for mini explorers. In partnership with The Green School
in Bali, the educational
experiences of Green Camp at Mandapa introduce both the natural
wonders and the rich cultural traditions of the destination. The
program aims to provide a natural, holistic, student-centered
learning environment that empowers and inspires the young guests to
be creative and innovative green leaders.
To experience Bali's premier
luxury resort at Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, rates at the
property start at $570 USD per night.
