Secluded along Ubud’s Ayung River and surrounded by verdant rice paddies and rolling hills, Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve introduces hotel guests to another side of Bali. At the 5-star resort, nature and culture guide each experience, whether being led through a traditional healing session at the luxury spa, enjoying a cocktail crafted from Indonesian ingredients or dining on Balinese barbecue overlooking the rice fields.

Mandapa's Balinese-inspired treatments feature Subtle Energies and locally sourced products, and unique opportunities include a session with a local Balinese healer. The riverfront spa is a complete wellness destination; in addition to its eight treatment rooms, it features a yoga pavilion, meditation temple, vitality pool, 24-hour fitness center, saunas and relaxation areas.
