Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Ubud—An absolute must-stay for your Bali vacation!

The Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Ubud, Bali, is the third Ritz-Carlton Reserve in the world. This incredibly luxurious resort is located near Ubud's verdant rice paddies. My vacation here was a complete escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, offering a sense of peace and tranquility! The Mandapa Suite I stayed in was not only inspired by nature in every element but also built with sustainable materials sourced entirely from local natural resources. The designer incorporated the theme of self-cultivation and connection with nature throughout the design. Not only does the architecture blend seamlessly with the surrounding natural environment, but opening any window in the suite brings you closer to Bali's tropical landscape. The vacation atmosphere here is truly fantastic! The spa at Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, is an unmissable experience! The stunning spa nestled between river valleys, surrounded by Ubud's lush rainforest and the gentle sounds of flowing water, provided an incredibly relaxing essential oil massage. Beyond the hotel, there are also some worthwhile excursions to explore, such as visiting the historic Ubud Temple, catching the sunrise atop Mount Batur, feeling the earth in your hands while planting rice, and taking a vintage convertible from village to village. Immersing yourself in Bali's sights, sounds, architecture, and culture can enrich and perfect your vacation experience.
