THE third property to come under the Ritz-Carlton Reserve portfolio is now open in Ubud, Bali. Named Mandapa, the resort is located along the island’s Ayung River and set among traditional temples, padi fields and a jungle.
The luxurious resort houses only 60 rooms, comprising 35 spacious suites and 25 private pool villas, designed using contemporary Balinese interiors with every element being sustainably sourced.
Mandapa features the look and feel of an indigenous Balinese village with views of rice terraces visible from room balconies and nature being an accessible part of the decor. The center of the resort even contains a rice field where guests can plant, harvest and tend to the saplings.
F&B options include four restaurants and lounges, offering a range of Indonesian cuisine and Mediterranean food. Customised wellness and detox menus using fresh local ingredients are also available. Additionally, a special tailor-made programme called Dining Beyond allows guests to dine at offbeat locations around the property.
