Tanah Gajah, a Resort by Hadiprana

Tanah Gajah is a beautiful and tranquil traditional Balinese resort. The grounds are absolutely breath-taking, and the staff were kind and attentive. The welcome drink is a must, and the Nasi Goreng was one of the best we had on the trip. A truly special place to unwind and the perfect first stop of our trip. The resort in on 20+ hectares with rice paddies. We were taken on an early morning walk amongst the rice paddies. The Guide gave an good understanding of the fields, how they grow rice, there harvest process and how the irrigation system works, the villages and the Balinese religious beliefs.

We recently enjoyed our first visit to Tanah Gajah in Bali, and from the moment we arrived, we knew it would be special. We were greeted with a heartfelt “welcome home,” which set the tone for an unforgettable experience. The service throughout our stay was outstanding. Every member of the team was warm, friendly, and genuinely committed to ensuring we had an exceptional time. They went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed all the perks of our package, which made us feel truly cared for. The resort itself is breathtaking. The landscaping and architecture, designed by the renowned Indonesian architect Mr. Hadiprana, are stunning. The elephant motif—fitting for a place called “Tanah Gajah,” or “land of elephants”—is woven beautifully throughout, and we kept discovering delightful details everywhere we looked. It’s incredibly Instagrammable! Our one-bedroom pool villa was perfect: spacious, private, and well-appointed, with every comfort thoughtfully provided. The outdoor bathtub was a standout feature that made the experience even more special. Dining was another highlight. The food was excellent, with a great mix of Western and Indonesian options. One evening, we enjoyed the Royal Balinese dinner following a mesmerizing kecak dance performance—a truly memorable treat. Tanah Gajah exceeded our expectations in every way. We left feeling relaxed, pampered, and already planning our return. Highly recommended!

We stayed at Tanah Gajah Resort in Ubud for five nights, and it truly exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we arrived, the staff were beyond attentive—anticipating our needs and wishes before we even voiced them. Their warmth and professionalism made us feel genuinely cared for throughout our entire stay. The resort itself is immaculate. Every corner is beautifully maintained, the grounds are serene, and the atmosphere is the perfect blend of luxury and calm. After an incredibly stressful year, we were worried that five nights wouldn’t be enough to reset… but we left feeling more relaxed than we have in a very long time. Tanah Gajah is an absolute sanctuary. We cannot recommend it highly enough.

We just had 10 nights at Tanah Gajah and we did not want to leave, we had a wonderful time. The staff are so lovely & friendly, they are very attentive and cannot do enough for you. The food was excellent and the grounds are stunning and beautifully attended to. We felt like we were in our own private oasis away from the busy town centre but only a short taxi ride to visit restaurants and sites. We stayed in one of the new pool Villas and loved it. Very spacious and comfortable with everything we needed. We will definitely return.

The staff at Tanah Gajah, facilities and overall vibe was superb - really worth every penny. The staff were so welcoming from the first minute to the last, allowing for later check out and tendered to our every need and ask. Food was also exceptional
