SeeDozens of greens, from almost black after the night rain to young leaves lit by the morning sun. In the evening, the last gold going out in the trees.

Five ways
to feel Bali
You arrive tired of screens, flights and decisions. Then something happens: you eat more slowly, breathe deeper, look longer, sleep better.
See
HearRain starting on the leaves. Birds in the morning, cicadas at dusk, the river somewhere below. Sometimes monkeys arguing on a roof.
SmellIncense from the morning offerings, laid out before the heat comes up. Wet earth after rain, frangipani, and warm oil on your skin long after the massage is over.
TasteCoffee from Balinese beans, grown two valleys over and roasted dark. Then ripe fruit you want to eat with your hands, and a slow breakfast, because for once there is nowhere to be.
TouchWarm hands on your back, slow and sure, and a body that finally lets go. Then cool water early in the morning, stone and wet grass under bare feet.
To live in your body, not only in your head. It is not for everyone, and we say so.
Is this place for you?Beyond the room
Everything a day here
can hold
The pool, the spa, the shala, two kitchens and the valley at the gate. Come when you feel like it.
The infinity pool
You swim to the edge and the forest takes over where the water stops. Towels and daybeds are already there, and the bar is a few steps up.
Hidden Gem Spa
An hour in, you have stopped listening for anything but the water below. Pavilions open on one side to the gorge: Balinese massage, hot stones, Shirodhara, the two-hour Memory of Couple.
The riverside shala
You come down to practise and end up listening: the river under you, the net over the trees, your own breath somewhere in between. Sunset sessions are the ones guests ask for.
Sunset Point & the bar
Dinner starts when the light begins its slow change over the valley. A European kitchen (pastas, steaks, fish) and a short list of Indonesian dishes on the terrace edge; arak and coffee from two valleys over at the Hidden Gem bar. Breakfast can float in your pool.
The valley on foot
Ten minutes down the path and the resort is gone: just the river, the village of Pejeng Kawan around you, and the macaques keeping their own hours.
Days out, run by us
Cold air on a volcano at dawn, spring water over your head at a temple, your own hands in the kitchen. Kintamani at sunrise, melukat at the springs, Mount Batur, a cooking class in our kitchen and a night across the water on Nusa Penida.
Two to five nights with all of this already arranged: the package programs.

The Suites
Five categories along the rim of the gorge. The Premiere Suites stand closest to the water: step off the terrace and you are in 55 metres of infinity pool, shared by eight suites and nobody else.

A thousand square metres, four bedrooms, eleven guests and a staff of its own. Taken whole, by families and by people who would rather not meet any.

over the Petanu
Most booked
Premiere Suite
Wake, cross the terrace, and you are in the water before you are properly awake. All eight suites have this, and they book first every season.
FromIDR 2.6m
Gem 2-Bedroom Villa
At night the door closes on a house, not a hotel room: two proper bedrooms, a kitchen, and the Hidden Gem bar a few steps away for when you want company.
FromIDR 3.9m
Honeymoon Pool Suite
Nobody in sight and nobody to hear: a four-poster, an outdoor bath and a plunge pool of your own, set apart at the north end of the garden.
FromIDR 2.2m
Also the Valley View Suite, the Garden Suite and Villa Oia, from 48 to 1,000 square metres.

Stays with a shape
Ready-made stays of two to five nights, built around what you need now. Three questions will show which one is yours.
The resort
Two hectares of valley,
and no one else in it
Twenty suites and villas stand along the west rim of the Petanu gorge, in a working Balinese village, a ten-minute drive from central Ubud. Every room faces the sunset. Below the terrace the river runs through forest that has never been cleared, the same forest the long-tailed macaques cross at dusk on their way upstream.

The pool
Swim out to the far edge and the forest begins where the water ends. You will stay there longer than you meant to.
Play
The valley, on foot
and before breakfast
The resident macaques
The troop lives along the gorge and wanders the grounds on its own schedule: gentle with people, quick with unattended food. Admire them; please don’t feed them.
Petanu River Walk
Down through the gardens to the water, with the story of the river the Balinese still call cursed.
Pejeng Kawan
A working village, not a set. Offerings on the doorsteps, temple mornings, everyday life at the gate. The carving workshops are further out: a short drive, not a stroll.
Five experiences, every one of them ours, from a sunrise at Mount Batur to a night across the water on Nusa Penida.
All experiences
Wellbeing
Hidden Gem Spa
& the riverside shala
You lie down and the valley does the rest. The treatment rooms are open on one side to the gorge, so the massage comes with the sound of the water eighty metres below. Rituals are built on the royal Balinese formulas: turmeric, ginger, frangipani and sandalwood, ground on the property.
- SpaOpen-air treatment pavilions above the river
- YogaMorning and sunset practice at the shala
- RetreatsThe shala takes visiting teachers and whole groups
Taste
Two rooms, one view
Sunset Point
By seven the whole terrace has turned to face the sun. A European kitchen (pastas, steaks, fish) with a short list of Indonesian dishes cooked the village way.
Hidden Gem Lounge & Bar
The hour when the light changes and nobody wants to move: arak, coffee grown two valleys over, and the best seat on the property between five and seven.
Rates
What a night costs
