Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve was named for the entrance into a Hindu temple, referenced through regionally and culturally inspired architecture, such as this courtyard outside the lobby.

A dramatic statement, the lobby pavilion—complete with rough-hewn, textured teak planks that contrast with stone—features views of the hotel’s natural surroundings.

The boutique-style resort offers intimate accommodations comprising 35 suites and 25 private pool villas (shown)—all with natural and indigenous design elements including dark wood, shells, and locally inspired art.

In select suites, an open bathroom enlarges the space, while beds are set beneath a pitched wicker ceiling with hanging light fixtures.

Villas include vibrantly tiled pools on terraces overlooking the Ayung River and jungle beyond.

Four F&B outlets—Kubu, Sawah, the Library (shown), and Dining Beyond—incorporate traditional Balinese materials including wicker light fixtures and furniture, as well as outdoor spaces.

In Kubu, tables sit within wicker structures that create an intimate, dimly lit setting.
