Deep in the heart of Bali's rich rainforest, the enchanting Hanging Gardens of Bali sets the stage for an unforgettable journey into paradise. Granite, bamboo, and further varieties of organic elements adorn the 36 private guest villas and 2 suites, each of which features its own breathtaking infinity pool, rippling into the jungle below. The entire resort is built atop wooden pillars set among the steep rice terraces of Ubud's forest preserves, cradled between lush mountains and the winding Ayung River. Accommodations offer contemporary Balinese appointments, traditional Alang Alang thatched roofs, and unique features like pergolas, zen gardens, and oversize canopied beds. Streamlined design breathes beautiful minimalistic style, and creates thoroughly calming surroundings for your stay. The peaceful views are abundant, peering over the rainforest, river, and Segara Temple, which faces the resort from the opposite hillside.

Can’t say enough about the Hanging Gardens. This place was truly dreamy. We had a panoramic jungle view villa for our honeymoon / 1 year wedding anniversary and it was gorgeous. Staff was incredible. The best service I have ever received and I have traveled the world. They were so eager to please. The honeymoon set up on arrival was amazing, rose petals in the bathtub and on the bed, sparkling wine and cake. We had a romantic dinner under the stars and this was incredible. Rose pedals everywhere, with just the two of us over the double tiered infinity pool overlooking the jungle. There’s a temple you can see from the hotel and they will arrange a visit or even a cooking class there if you like. It’s about 20-30 minutes drive. Room service was timely and excellent and food overall was great. Massages were wonderful and the spa is located closer to the river so you can hear sounds of the river and jungle. Each night there’s different entertainment in the main restaurant, from traditional music to movie nights and piano playing. There were more families than we expected from the way the hotel is marketed but it really didn’t matter. We only saw them at breakfast and dinner. If you don’t want to be around kids, your villa with private pool is the best place to be anyway. We would still recommend this for couples and honeymooners. This is truly one of the top hotels I’ve stayed in the world.

We chose this resort to celebrate our wedding anniversary. What attracted us, at first, is the location (near Ubud), and built on the slopes of Ayung river valley, in a relatively secluded forest. We stayed 3 nights. The villa is amazing. Very spacious, very comfortable and comes with a delightful mini pool that looks out the the lush greenery. Ultimately, why i rate it 5 stars, is the service. The staff, from the moment we arrive, from the reception to the dining and even the chair-lift operator, everyone, made sure we are well taken care of. My compliments to the Chef...the 56 Degree Short Rib is so delicious. More Indonesian cuisine please. Thank you for making our stay such memorable experience.

From the moment we arrived at Hanging Gardens of Bali, we knew this wasn’t just a resort – it was a deeply spiritual experience. Set high in the dense jungle of Ubud, overlooking the sacred Ayung River and the ancient Dalem Segara temple, the energy of this place is unlike anything we’ve ever felt. My partner and I stayed in Villa 11, and I cannot express how truly transformative our time here was. The villa was impeccably designed – spacious, private, and surrounded by the sights and sounds of pure nature. Waking up to the mist rising through the jungle, with birdsong and the soft hum of the river below, felt like being held in nature’s arms. The private infinity pool overlooking the lush valley was a daily spiritual reset. We meditated, reflected, and reconnected in ways we hadn’t anticipated. We arrived just after a personal cleansing ceremony in Bali, and it was no coincidence that this villa held space for us to heal, recharge, and connect more deeply. Every detail – from the natural wood finishes to the high-quality linens, from the open-air layout to the intuitive service – made us feel honoured, not just accommodated. The Hanging Gardens infinity pool, of course, is world-renowned, and for good reason. But it was the quiet moments – evening tea overlooking the treetops, the temple lights flickering in the distance, the deep silence of the jungle – that truly changed us. The staff treated us not just like guests, but as souls on a journey. Kind, discreet, always present when needed but never intrusive. This was more than a luxury stay. It was a spiritual experience. We left Hanging Gardens of Bali lighter, clearer, and closer – both to each other and to ourselves. Villa 11 is a place of magic. We will return not just for a holiday, but to remember what matters.
