Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve Unveils the Mandapa River Estate

Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, in Ubud, Bali, has just unveiled The Mandapa River Estate, the property’s reimagined three-bedroom villa, shaped by the mystical energy of Ubud and the rhythm of the sacred Ayung River.

Situated just beside the resort’s 500-year-old temple, a hand-carved wooden gate adorned with the island’s flora symbolizes the boundary between the human world and the realm of spirits, designed in the traditional Balinese architectural principles of Asta Kosala Kosali - reflecting harmony and balance, influenced by the ancient Majapahjit Kingdom - serving as the entrance to The Mandapa River Estate.

The Mandapa River Estate spans 21,000 square feet and features three private rooms with modern en-suite bathrooms, including a master bedroom with an annexed twin bedroom, accommodating up to 9 guests. The estate features both indoor and outdoor living spaces, a fully equipped kitchen, and dining areas, including an alfresco pergola surrounded by fragrant gardens of tropical botanicals. Guests can enjoy leisurely afternoons by the expansive climate-controlled infinity pool, which seamlessly integrates with the natural surroundings of the jungle, while the majestic Ayung River flows by. The estate is decorated with earthy accents and a mix of natural materials, complemented by hand-painted murals and a collection of handcrafted artworks from Balinese artisans, serving as visual gateways to Bali's rich heritage, myths, and legends, capturing the essence of the island's vibrant culture.

“After celebrating our 10th anniversary, our vision remains focused on providing guests with comfort and privacy in a natural setting through our new renovations. The Mandapa River Estate is a sanctuary for multi-generational travelers, striking a balance between intimate and communal spaces. Our estate is one of the most exclusive private estates in the world, set amid rare natural beauty and ancient culture,” expresses Masanori Hosoya, General Manager of Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve.

Steeped in cultural heritage and an unrivaled sense of privacy, The Mandapa River Estate is a home at the ends of the earth. Guests can immerse themselves in the serenity of sunrise meditations, rejuvenate with private Watsu sessions, explore the depths of quantum healing, and savor gourmet barbecues on the veranda. Every moment is curated by a personal butler named Patih, a title inspired by the ancient royal courts of Ubud. A private chef is available on request to craft personalized menus.   

The starting rate for The Mandapa River Estate is USD 6,359 per night. For further information, please visit www.MandapaReserve.com
