Tanah Gajah, Ubud

Location

Formerly the Chedi Club, this ultra-stylish hotel enjoys a spectacular location outside Ubud, nestled among the verdant rice fields of Bali's central highlands. As the former estate of Hendra Hadiprana – a respected Indonesian art collector – the resort is enhanced with original Balinese artworks from his collection.

Accommodation

All twenty of the resort's club suites and villas are designed with a romantic escape in mind, pairing the latest in in-room technology with exposed brick walls, luxurious tiled flooring and huge beds, some with ornate, hand-carved headboards. At 70 square metres, the One Bedroom Club Suites are certainly spacious, while villas add in the likes of private pools and outdoor bathtubs. Whichever you choose, you'll enjoy club benefits as standard, while private butlers are on hand to cater to your every need.

Dining

The Tempayan at Tanah Gajah offers sweeping views of the rice fields and jungle beyond, as delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners – with menus showcasing the finest local ingredients – are served beneath a traditional Balinese thatched roof. The rice that accompanies the restaurant's Balinese cuisine is sourced straight from the surrounding fields, while Western and Asian specialities benefit from the Singaporean Executive Chef Dean Nor’s 17 years of professional experience working on an island renowned for its food. For something different, head to the Panen Padi Lounge for tapas-style light bites and hand-crafted signature cocktails.

Facilties

From jungle-buggy excursions to foodie tours, guests can enjoy a host of authentic experiences during their stay. There's a spectacular pool with sun loungers, perfect for relaxing after days of island exploration, while the opulent spa pairs traditional Balinese massages and treatments with herbal bath rituals set to uninterrupted paddy-field views.
