The Tranquil Summary
Forty-four private pool villas built into a forty-five-degree jungle slope that drops into the Ayung River gorge at Payangan, north of Ubud. Completed in 2005 by around seven hundred local craftsmen, it is reached by funicular rather than paths, and its twin-tier infinity pool cantilevers out over the valley.
Best for
Anyone whose Bali bucket list starts with that pool, who wants villas deep in a jungle gorge.
Consider if
The site is a forty-five-degree slope worked entirely by funicular, so there is a lot of up and down, and the resort is older than most on this list.
Why it's Tranquil
Built into a forty-five-degree jungle slope falling to the Ayung River gorge at Payangan, north of Ubud. Forty-four private pool villas stepped down the gorge, screened by jungle and linked by funicular. The twin-tier infinity pool hangs right out over the valley. A spa on the hillside, and a private pool on every villa deck.
