Ubud, Bali
Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve
An Ubud sanctuary
Named after the Sanskrit word for temple, this elegant resort continues the tradition in style, surrounded by verdant rice fields, forested hills and the sound of the Ayung River.
60 spacious suites and one, two and three bedroomed pool villas are a contemporary showcase of Balinese architecture and craftsmanship. All enjoy views over the river or lush valley, as well as large bathrooms with a sumptuous tub.
Guests can experience Indonesian cuisine, alongside international dishes, at four distinct dining venues, or opt for a more private event within the reserve.
As well as being well located to explore the temples of Ubud, relax at the resort with yoga classes, spa treatments or a good book from the library, perhaps heading out at a leisurely pace on bicycles through the nearby villages.

Places to combine Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve with
Phuket
Tucked away on the fringes of Khao Sok National Park, one of Thailand’s most ancient and biodiverse rainforests, Thanyamundra Organic Resort offers an intimate sanctuary with nine guestrooms. The setting is mesmerising: a patchwork of cultivated organic farmland gently gives way to dense jungle, while mist drifts across rolling emerald hills in the early morning.
Two teakwood residences, built in traditional Thai style, house the guest rooms. Within, antique furnishings add a sense of heritage and handwoven textiles bring warmth and colour.
Begin with yoga at dawn or a leisurely walk among rice paddies and vegetable gardens, before setting out to discover the wonders of the rainforest. Back at the resort, the infinity pool seemingly spills into the surrounding hills. From here, the horizon becomes a living panorama of forest, farmland and sky, shifting in colour as the day passes from morning to the glow of sunset. The spa provides another form of retreat, where traditional Thai treatments restore balance after a day outdoors.
Food is at the heart of the Thanyamundra experience. The resort’s organic farm supplies the kitchen with fragrant herbs, just-picked vegetables, tropical fruit and locally produced cheese. Meals, whether enjoyed in the open-sided pavilion or al fresco under the stars, are thoughtfully prepared to highlight the freshest seasonal ingredients.
