"Nestled beside the Balinese rice fields, this retreat delivers top‑notch service, gorgeous suites, and fine dining." - Shelby Wax

"A rice-terrace–facing dining venue known for an abundant Sunday brunch buffet with live cooking stations that showcase both international and local Indonesian dishes — offerings may include items like slow-roasted suckling pig and prawns in yellow curry alongside diverse desserts." - Lisa Ritchie Lisa Ritchie A dual American and British citizen, Lisa Ritchie is a writer and editor based in New York City.

"When the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company bought an area of untamed land more than 10 years ago, it purchased twice the amount it needed to add another jewel to Bali’s hospitality crown. The result is a sprawling hotel footprint across 25 acres surrounded by lush rainforest and rice paddies that dramatically cascade down hillsides. Luminous dragonflies buzz, butterflies flit their kaleidoscopic wings and doe-eyed frogs croak in the distance—rather than interfering with their surroundings, this property honors them. Forget rooms, there are 60 suites and villas here, ranging in size from substantial to palatial. Bathtubs for two are wrapped in rattan and scented with ginger-lily salts, large balconies offer panoramic views of the sunset-facing valley and villas have infinity pools. Days start with breakfasts of jewel-colored fruits and steaming Javanese coffee. Supper is served in Japanese Ambar Ubud Bar and Kubu at Mandapa, where Eka Sunarya delights diners over eight- and 10-course tasting menus that utilize all the landscape has to offer. Families are welcome, and little ones are catered for in the kids’ club, which favors activities in the open air over technological distractions. It’s just as well, as missing out on a treatment in the riverside spa would be nothing short of a crime. —Lee Cobaj" - Chris Schalkx, Juliet Kinsman
"At Mandapa I appreciated how the resort can arrange temple tours, sessions with traditional healers and couples' spa treatments in addition to classic romantic touches like candlelit dinners and luxurious villas with private pools." - Travel + Leisure Staff
