Amandari: A Spiritual Hideaway in Ubud Where Amazing Culture, Nature, and Serenity Converge

The Discover Amandari experience is more than just a getaway—it is an invitation to dwell in one of Bali’s most sacred corners, where legends of gods linger and traditions bloom in every offering. Just outside Ubud, Amandari nestles on the rim of the Ayung River Gorge, its soul protected by a carved stone tiger and its architecture echoing the humble harmony of Balinese village life.

As part of the revered Aman Hotels & Resorts family, Amandari celebrates the brand’s global identity of mindful design and cultural authenticity. Known for immersive experiences and tranquil luxury, Aman’s presence in Bali stands as a beacon for travelers seeking depth beyond indulgence.

Living Within a Sacred Design

Staying at Amandari feels like slipping into a living temple of peace. Each suite—some with private pools—is a secluded sanctuary made with coconut wood, bamboo, and alang-alang thatching. Winding stone paths lead you from suite to suite, beneath frangipani trees and past ancient shrines that locals still bless with incense and flowers.

The layout of Amandari, with its curving pool that mimics the tiered rice fields below, invites contemplation and presence. It’s not just a place to admire nature—but to become part of its rhythm.

Culinary Journeys Inspired by Earth and Ritual

Food at Amandari isn’t just nourishment—it’s ceremony. Freshly harvested produce from nearby farms forms the heart of every dish. Guests dine on classics like Bebek Betutu, tender duck infused with island spices, or cool off with exotic fruit sorbets by the lotus pond.

Evening meals carry a gentle spiritual undertone, served under flickering lanterns beside ancient stone walls. It’s a dining experience grounded in place and guided by Balinese customs of balance and generosity.

A Pathway Into Bali’s Spiritual Traditions

The wellness philosophy at Amandari is rooted in healing—of both body and spirit. Resident spiritual healers guide guests through melukat water purification ceremonies, using holy springs and sacred prayers to cleanse emotional burdens.

The treatments—using healing herbs and traditional oils—are held in open-air bales overlooking the jungle. Massage, meditation, and energy alignment here become tools of reconnection. You don’t just relax—you return to yourself.

Cultural Immersion That Feels Personal and Profound

Amandari opens the door to a Bali few travelers ever touch. Guests can learn Aksara Bali, the sacred Balinese script, or join a temple procession through nearby villages. The hotel’s expert guides lead tailored cultural excursions—from artisan workshops in Ubud to storytelling walks through rice fields where local legends whisper on the wind.

One highlight? A visit to a nearby family compound where guests can try traditional cooking, guided by generations of culinary wisdom passed down like sacred texts.

• Balinese script writing with local artisans
• Private visits to working temples and rice terraces
• Healing ceremonies led by respected spiritual practitioners
• Family-style cooking experiences in traditional homes

Why Amandari Is More Than Just a Stay

Amandari isn’t simply a luxury escape—it’s a gateway to understanding the deeper heartbeat of Bali. The sacred energy of Ubud, the timeworn rituals, the forested gorge just below your feet—all combine to create a retreat that nourishes more than the senses.

Whether you’re drawn to spiritual clarity, creative inspiration, or quietude in its purest form, Amandari welcomes you not as a guest, but as part of its living story. Come not to just visit—but to belong.
