One of only a handful of Ritz-Carlton Reserve properties worldwide — 60 suites and villas across 25 rainforest and rice-paddy acres in Ubud, with infinity pool villas, a zero-waste Kubu tasting menu restaurant, Japanese Ambar Ubud bar, and the most complete family program of any Reserve property. CNT Gold List 2024, RC 2025.
Why We Chose It
Mandapa is the Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Ubud — the ultra-luxury tier above the standard Ritz-Carlton brand, with only a handful of properties worldwide. The 25-acre property sweeps across rainforest and rice paddies; 60 suites and villas range from substantial to palatial, with rattan-wrapped bathtubs for two, panoramic valley views, and infinity pools in villas. Mornings begin with jewel-colored fruits and steaming Javanese coffee; evenings are spent at zero-waste fine-dining Kubu at Mandapa (8- and 10-course menus by chef Eka Sunarya) or at the Japanese Ambar Ubud bar. The kids club runs entirely outdoors. CNT Gold List 2024, RC 2017–2025.
