Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve Named Among the World’s 50 Best Hotels in 2025
One Bedroom Pool Villa
Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, stands as a timeless sanctuary, inviting travelers on a rare journey of culture and nature since its debut in 2015. Nestled in the spiritual heart of Ubud, it is a home at the ends of the earth, along the sacred Ayung River, surrounded by acres of pristine rainforest, and a guardian of a 500-year-old temple. Designed to resemble an indigenous Balinese village, the resort's unique concept and legendary service, with personal butlers known as Patihs, a character inspired by the ancient royal courts of Ubud, present an inimitable experience.
Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, features an exclusive collection of just 60 suites and villas, set amidst breathtaking natural beauty. Guests can enjoy four distinct dining concepts, each featuring curated atmospheres and diverse culinary creations.
At Ambar Ubud Bar, guests can savor cocktails infused with the vibrant botanicals of Ubud while taking in the stunning cliffside views. Kubu, a zero-waste fine dining restaurant, serves seasonal menus crafted from ingredients foraged within a 100-kilometer radius. Meanwhile, Sawah Terrace celebrates Indonesia's rich culinary traditions and spices, hosting dazzling Balinese performances each evening.
"We are truly humbled and grateful to be recognized in The World's 50 Best Hotels, a benchmark for exceptional hotels and resorts worldwide. Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, is a unique gem in a country rich in culture, history, landscapes, and, most importantly, its incredible people. The success of Mandapa is attributed to the dedication of our Ladies and Gentlemen, who create memorable experiences every day through their genuine hospitality. Despite turning 10 years old, this award reaffirms Mandapa’s position as a global leader in the industry, offering a timeless experience for travelers. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to our guests, partners, the local community, and our Ladies and Gentlemen," stated Masanori Hosoya, General Manager of Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve.
