Amandari



Amandari - An Aman enclave of Balinese elegance and grace overlooking the Ayung River gorge...

Amandari (which means “peaceful spirits”) opened in 1989. It is located five minutes from the art community of Ubud, in Central Bali. The village of Kedewatan lies adjacent to the resort. Designed as a Balinese village, Amandari has river-stone walkways and high paras-stone walls. The open-air lobby was designed after a wantilan, a village meeting place. The pathway that runs through Amandari and down the valley to the river below is sacred land. Every six months for hundreds of years, Balinese have taken the path down to a pool of holy water. Just above this spring-fed pool sit three modest shrines and an ancient tiger carved into rock.

Facilities include the Library, with a broad selection of books, newspapers, CDs and games, a fitness centre fitted with a fully equipped cardiovascular gym, a signature 32m green-tiled swimming pool, lying close to the lip of the gorge, a gift shop and gallery.Balinese-style stone gateways front Amandari's 30 walled, thatched-roof suites, each with a private garden courtyard and some with private pools. There is one premium villa as well. Wireless broadband connections are now available in all resort accommodations and public areas. 

Dining:

Weddings at the Amandari


Inspired by a typical Balinese village, Amandari is a peaceful retreat with andesite walkways and traditional shrines, surrounded by terraced rice fields and overlooking the sacred Ayung River Gorge. It is ideally located for those wishing to experience the quintessential Balinese hill country experience. Amandari has a range of options to provide for your wedding, whether it be a small intimate affair or a larger party. 

For small weddings of up to 10 people, there are several options. These range from ceremonies in one of the special outdoor bales located just beneath the Amandari Pool and commanding splendid views of the Gorge, to reception dinners beside lotus ponds or in a lofty-ceilinged private dining-room overlooking the Amandari Village. Alternatively, weddings can be held in a private villa.

Gatherings comprising up to 30 people could begin with a ceremony in the gardens followed by a cocktail party or candlelit dinner by the Amandari Pool or in the privacy of a villa. Weather permitting, Amandari also offers a unique setting under the stars overlooking the valley and rice terraces. Entertainment following dinner can also be arranged.

Another option is a fully-inclusive event with ceremony, reception and dinner staged at a temple two minutes by car from Amandari. This is another special Balinese environment. Here we can accommodate parties of up to 80 persons. Finally, with a buy-out of the resort, we are able to arrange a wedding celebration for up to 120 guests in the main lobby and restaurant area of the hotel.

Couples also have the choice of a Balinese blessing done by a local priest (not legally binding) in Amandari’s bale overlooking the river. The priest and his assistants will prepare offerings consisting of flowers, incense, rice and banana leaves to ask the gods and Balinese spirits to come together and wish you well as you embark on your journey together. We would be pleased to dress you in Balinese dress for the occasion.
