Healed by nature

Find serenity at Tanah Gajah, a resort by Hadiprana.

There is hardly a more idyllic location for a peaceful respite than amidst the rice fields at Tanah Gajah, a resort by Hadiprana. Formerly known as The Chedi Club Tanah Gajah Ubud, the boutique resort was designed by the late Indonesia’s leading architect, Hendra Hadiprana. A stunning sanctuary awaits, featuring 20 villas and suites surrounded by immaculate landscaping, lotus ponds and tropical foliage. Here, life charmingly slows down and invites you to unwind.

Start the day with morning yoga followed by a wholesome breakfast with a view at The Tempayan. If you are keen to explore the surrounding rice fields, join the daily 60-minute Rice Paddy Trekking tour and learn more about the rice-growing tradition. Swim laps at the resort’s 25m pool to stay fit or hit

The Health Club for a quick cardio workout.

For the leisurely inclined, book the 120-minute Oriental
