Secluded along Ubud’s Ayung River and surrounded by verdant rice paddies and rolling hills, Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve introduces hotel guests to a different side of Bali. At this 5-star resort, nature and culture guide each experience – for instance, a traditional healing session at the luxury spa, enjoying a cocktail crafted from Indonesian ingredients, or dining at the Balinese barbecue overlooking rice fields. The hotel offers yoga classes, bike rentals, holistic spa services, and more.

For kids, the resort offers “Mini Explorers” experiences. These activities allow your children to learn new skills, make friends and get creative — all while under expert supervision. The Mini Explorers offer both full-day and half-day programs, and adults are encouraged to join the program with their children. Children 5+ can participate without parental supervision. Activities offered include learning about Balinese healing traditions, exploring Bali and Ubud with cultural immersions, art camp, and more.
