THIS SUMMER, GET READY TO WANDER

If relaxation and rejuvenation or a luxurious romantic retreat is what you seek, then put 1st May 2017 in your diary. Ensconced within the pristine tropical forests of Payangan, the new Samsara Ubud could well be your perfect villa destination.

Samsara Ubud's 17 delightful private pool villas have been designed by one of Indonesia's most celebrated architects, the award-winning Popo Danes. His design is a blend of multi-level and layered architecture, a tribute to Bali's iconic rice terraces, which ensures the villas and their private infinity pools all have unobstructed and beautiful views over the lush tropical rain forest.

The One-bedroom Pool Villas are wellproportioned and the heated infinity pool and outdoor space are ideal for private relaxation. The bathrooms feature luxurious Makassar marble, double vanities, a deep bathtub and separate indoor and outdoor showers, whilst the stylish interiors draw upon the best aspects of bygone Balinese chic with rich teak furnishings and exotic fabrics.

A sublime retreat, Samsara Ubud is also convenient for exploring the heart of Bali, with the famous Tegalalang rice terraces, the temples of Goa Gajah and Tirta Empul and the world-famous village of Ubud, renowned for its culture and food, on the doorstep.

Back at Samsara Ubud, food plays a vital role and guests are sure to enjoy Kelusa Restaurant, where Chef Iwan Sutrisno will help you explore the region's rich and diverse culinary history.

The grand opening will take place in early July.
