In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- We love the duplex Asmara and Ayung Suites, as these come with an upstairs bedroom and downstairs living area. Alternatively, Pool Suites 14 and 15 are extremely private, and have the advantage of coming with their own swimming pools.
- Packing tips
- Bring a pair of trainers – after a couple of days of all-out relaxation, you’ll be itching to get up and play tennis, or take a long walk around Amandari’s stunning grounds.

Amandari
Bali, Indonesia[view map]
- Style
- Of rice and men
- Setting
- Upmarket Ubud village
Overlooking the working rice paddies of Ubud's verdant valleys, Amandari thinks of itself as a proper village, with an important role to play in the wider community. Local people use the resort’s grounds to go about their daily lives, and guests are encouraged to leave their sunloungers to go and meet their Balinese hosts. There’s plenty of lounging to be done here, too, though. Relax beneath swaying palms by the side of an emerald-green pool, or finish that novel in the sumptuous surroundings of your thatch-roofed suite.
