amandari

amandari (peaceful spirits) opened in 1989 in the verdant hills of Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali. Designed as a Balinese village, amandari has river-stone walkways and high paras -stone walls. The open-air lobby was designed after a wantilan, a village meeting place. The pathway that runs through amandari and down the valley to the river below is sacred land.

Every six months for hundreds of years, Balinese have taken the path down to a pool of holy water. Just above this spring-fed pool sit three modest shrines and an ancient tiger carved into rock.

Balinese-style stone gateways front amandari's 30 walled, thatched-roof suites, each with a private garden courtyard. There is one premium villa as well. amandari is well sited for a cultural exploration of Bali as it is located in the central hill district of Ubud famed for its craftsmen, and in the vicinity of Besakih, Bali’s mother temple.

The Spa is located at the end of a winding river stone path and offers two open-air bales, a beauty room, sauna and marble steam room. Surrounded by a lotus pond, it seems to float peacefully above the water. Selection of body and beauty treatments are available there, in the privacy of guest suites or in the bale overlooking the Ayung Valley. Body treatments include massage and scrubs using traditional, natural Balinese ingredients chosen for their soothing, healing properties. Facials, manicures and pedicures are also available.
