"A sumptuous riverside hideaway along the Ayung River offering teakwood pool villas and suites that foreground regional materials and craftsmanship; interiors feature ikat fabrics and local shell and coconut elements. The property emphasizes cultural connection through Indonesian cooking classes held in an undulating bamboo structure, frequent Balinese music and dance performances, a spa rooted in ancient wellness rituals (including guided meditative experiences), and unique arrival options such as whitewater rafting from the sister Jimbaran property." - Kathryn Romeyn
