Amandari

I stayed at Amandari in summer 2024, it was absolutely amazing. If you’ve ever stayed at an Aman property, you’ll know the feeling : calm and understated luxury.||||The location is perfect: close to Ubud, but tucked away enough to feel totally peaceful. Just next to the Ritz Carlton Reserve. Even though the place was fully booked, it felt like I had the whole resort to myself. ||||My room was spacious, quiet, and spotless, all natural materials, high ceilings, and a lovely private outdoor area. ||||What really makes this place special is the service. Every staff member was warm, thoughtful, and genuinely attentive, always there when you needed something, but never in your face. That's the real Aman feeling ... ||||Food was excellent, and when we wanted to head out, the team gave great suggestions. One evening I tried Room4Dessert in Ubud, based on their tip, absolutely worth it.||||Only small downside: the Wi-Fi was a bit patchy at times, and there was a short power outage one night. But honestly, it didn’t bother me much.||||Aman hotels are just hard to beat...

Maybe I just needed to go back to an Indonesian Aman where I became a fan of the brand. As I told Devayani my last night there was something about their smiles and hospitality that will give you that original Aman spirit as this was the 2nd one built. Although not like newer ones, it is still very well maintained and just a peaceful place to be in. You will feel connected to nature and the Balinese culture.||As my friends stayed at a Resort close by and I saw the difference, I knew I made the right choice by staying in this Aman.||One precious moment is when a double rainbow showed after some morning rain. The younger staff were still excited to see this view as I saw it in their faces and some even went to have a closer look. ||Most of the Amandari team I’m sure were still very young when I celebrated my birthday in Amanjiwo 2016. They still gave me the peace of mind an Indonesian Aman has shared with me in the past.||To Chandra, Bianca, Devayani, Tiara and all the ladies in front, Eka and the night shift team, Bayu, Jaya, Ryan, Aris and all the restaurant team, Chef Iwan, Spa team, the drivers, Resort Manager I Made Muliana, Front Office Manager Arkan, the mascots. Thank you once again.

Exceptional hotel with exceptional service in a perfect location. Amandari an unparalleled blend of serene luxury and authentic Balinese culture. Nested in a tranquil jungle setting, the traditional village-inspired architecture and exceptional service feel both personal and unobtrusive. Go for one of the spacious single-level villas like the Amandari suite, featured in the pictures. The staff are extremely accommodative to all of the guests needs, including offering free unlimited transfers into Ubud and extended times for the breakfast service which can always be enjoyed in Villa. Amandari offers a rejuvenating escape that captures the essence of Bali’s natural beauty and cultural richness.   

This place is the real deal. The setting is so private and unassuming on arrival but opens up into a wonderful space. The grounds are beautifully laid out. The rooms are spacious and authentic offering a perfect blend of comfort and luxury with tradition. The service is amazing, very subtle, very respectful. Everyone knows your name and the greetings and interactions are genuine and friendly. Our first experience of Aman and certainly not the last it was a perfect stay.

Our stay at Amandari was nothing short of magical. Nestled into the lush Ubud jungle, the resort feels like a serene sanctuary, where timeless Balinese design and understated luxury come together in perfect harmony. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the beauty and peacefulness of the property. The stone pathways, traditional thatched-roof villas, and infinity pool overlooking the Ayung Valley create an atmosphere that feels both intimate and deeply connected to nature. The villas themselves are spacious, elegant, and calming, with every detail reflecting Amandari’s commitment to authenticity and comfort. Waking up to the sounds of the jungle and enjoying quiet moments on the terrace was unforgettable. The service was flawless — warm, discreet, and thoughtful. Every interaction felt genuine, with the team making us feel both at home and completely cared for. Dining was also a highlight, with dishes that celebrate local flavours while maintaining Amandari’s refined touch. Amandari captures the essence of Ubud: spiritual, tranquil, and timeless. It is more than just a hotel; it’s an experience that lingers long after you leave. Truly the perfect retreat for anyone seeking peace, beauty, and classic Aman luxury.

This is a hotel you must experience at least once in your lifetime—a serene, luxurious, yet warm home nestled in the rainforest! All the staff here treated me like family, allowing me to immerse in the authentic Balinese culture while making me feel right at home during my short stay.

We enjoyed a great lunch at Amandari! The setting was serene, with stunning views of the pool and rice fields that created a peaceful atmosphere. The food was decent, fresh and flavorful, showcasing local ingredients beautifully. The staff was friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a delightful meal that I would || recommend if you are in the area.

Literally, the best resort in Bali. We enjoyed every minute, the service and the staff were so friendly, the food was delicious, and above of all of that the experience of staying there was something else, we felt like if we were staying at the village, authentic and unique.
