HOSHINOYA Bali sits quietly above the sacred Pakerisan River, offering a secluded jungle sanctuary in the heart of Ubud. From the first moments on property, the pace naturally softens. Water weaves through the grounds, dense greenery frames every walkway, and the resort unfolds more like a tranquil village than a traditional hotel.

The architecture thoughtfully merges Balinese spirituality with refined Japanese minimalism. Villas are arranged along three elongated pools inspired by natural river streams, each one featuring direct pool access, a private terrace, and shaded gazebo spaces. Inside, the intentional absence of televisions and clocks encourages a deeper sense of presence, allowing guests to fully disconnect and unwind. Every detail feels deliberate. Hand-carved stone, intricate wood engravings inspired by local flora and fauna, and softly layered lighting create an atmosphere that feels both understated and deeply connected to the landscape. As evening falls, the architecture glows quietly, enhancing the sense of calm throughout the property. Dining is an experience in itself. Menus blend Balinese ingredients with Japanese culinary techniques, resulting in dishes that are both refined and deeply rooted in place. The eight-course Bali Harmony dinner stands out for its thoughtful pacing, elegant presentation, and flavors that linger well beyond the final course. Service at HOSHINOYA Bali is intuitive and gracious, delivered with warmth and ease. Guests are invited to engage in cultural and wellness experiences such as guided rice field walks, village explorations, batik workshops, and traditional beverage tastings, all designed to deepen the connection to the surrounding culture. The spa, nestled below the resort in the jungle valley, is accompanied by the soothing sounds of the river and offers treatments grounded in Balinese healing traditions. It’s a space that feels deeply calming and restorative.

HOSHINOYA Bali offers a rare, intentional form of luxury—one that prioritizes nature, culture, and thoughtful design. The experience is immersive, peaceful, and quietly transformative from beginning to end.
