Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve
Indonesia
Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve sits where Ubud’s forest meets the Ayung River, arranged with the character of a Balinese village. Jeffrey Wilkes’ interiors combine local heritage with contemporary design across suites and private pool villas. A dedicated Patih, or butler, assists guests throughout their stay. Wellness programmes, a spa and fitness centre sit alongside cultural experiences such as temple blessings, riverside rituals and walks through rice fields. Kubu’s tasting menus focus on ingredients sourced close to the resort, while Sawah Terrace explores Indonesian heritage dishes. Ambar Ubud Bar brings cocktails, Japanese fusion cooking and live jazz to a higher position overlooking the landscape. Mandapa Camp adds activities for younger guests.
