Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

Inspired by an indigenous Balinese village, Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve is beautifully set where the lush jungle meets the Ayung River and temples stand majestically against a backdrop of rice fields. Mandapa incorporates a rice terrace at its center allowing guests to have an immersive local experience of the planting and harvesting of this most important Balinese resource.

Designed and constructed by the world-class architect Miles Humphreys, enhanced with the traditional yet contemporary Balinese interiors by Jeffrey A. Wilkes from the renowned Asia-based interior design firm, Designwilkes, Mandapa was inspired by “mandapas,” Sanskrit for temples, of Ubud, creating a sacred space for devotees to rest their mind, body, and soul. Mindful journey to the extraordinary – a full immersion inside the native Ubud culture, recreating the Balinese way of living.
