"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
"A lush river-valley resort near Ubud with views of the Ayung River and a verdant canopy, offering immersive culinary experiences and cooking classes that teach approachable local dishes (like quick beef satay with homemade sambal and peanut sauce) and memorable chef's-table meals that showcase slow-roasted techniques and regional ingredients." - Brian Freedman
"Four Season Resort Bali at Sayan—a lush, jungled, five-star property in the Sayan Valley frequented by celebrities and rivaled by none—offers a Life Talks and Meditation series that is at the core of its wellness program."
"At the Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan, they take it literally with the help of a river rafting arrival. Embark on a two-hour, seven-mile journey down the Ayung River navigating class II and III rapids and enjoying spectacular jungle views along the way."
"The Sayan Valley is home to a sacred forest from which the floating lotus pond of the Four Seasons Sayan emerges. This hotel is world-renowned for its stunning architecture, and is built out of a lush hillside overlooking the Ayung River. A sense of being one with the surrounding jungle is evoked in the hotel’s terraced restaurant and pool, and in suites designed with Balinese decor. This iconic property has hosted the likes of the Obamas , and Julia Roberts stayed there while shooting Eat, Pray, Love." - Ali Wunderman
