AMAN’S UBUD RETREAT MARKS ITS 30TH ANNIVERSARY

Amandari in Ubud, Bali was opened in 1989 as the second Aman resort in the luxury group. To celebrate 30 years of welcoming travellers to its peaceful property above the verdant Ayung River Gorge outside the artist’s community of Ubud, Amandari will run a series of special events throughout the year.

Each month in 2019, on the night of the full moon, Amandari will host a blessing ceremony and trek by moonlight, beginning at dusk with a blessing at Amandari’s temple.

Throughout 2019, guests will be invited to special anniversary drinks on the 30th of each month at the resort’s bar, hosted by the General Manager.

Amandari will also continue its strong support of the Ubud Food Festival – a three-day festival founded in 2015 that has become South-East Asia’s leading culinary event, showcasing Indonesia’s diverse cuisines, local produce and stars of the gastronomic world. In 2019, the festival will take place from 26–28 April and Amandari will host an anniversary event as part of the festival.

Every week, a different traditional Indonesian dish from the resort’s original menu will be featured. Amandari’s Executive Chef will also conduct 30-minute cooking classes which will include foraging for fresh seasonal ingredients in the garden. Additionally, wellness and community activities are planned, along with regular painting workshops and an Instagram competition. amandari.com
