Q Magazine - Summer 2016

ali, also known as the Land of the Gods, is a magical,

exotic island that has so much to offer. As probably

the most famous island in Indonesia, Bali blends

spectacular mountain scenery and beautiful beaches with

warm and friendly people, a vibrant culture, intricately

carved temples at every corner and some of the world’s

finest resorts.

Enhancing this appeal would be a difficult task but Ritz-

Carlton have injected an exciting newmix with the opening

of two luxury resorts perfectly sited to combine the cultural

riches of the hill country around Ubud with an equally

striking coastal location to the south in Nusa Dua.

Located in Bali’s cultural and spiritual heart of Ubud,

Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

, is the third in the

prestigious Ritz-Carlton Reserve Collection as a sanctuary

to relax one’s mind, body and soul.

Verdant rice paddies, meandering pathways, gently rolling

hills and the soothing Ayung River set a glorious backdrop

for this peaceful property, where guests are transported to

a place where joy is found in luxuries as simple as time and

nature, and a quiet moment of reflection will resonate for

years to come.

Secluded from the distractions of daily life, you will

discover the peace of mind and body that has drawn

devotees to this area of temples (mandapas), for thousands

of years. An intimate hotel of only 60 villas and suites,

Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, features two swimming

pools, a luxury spa and active excursions to awaken the

spirit. Ubud is the perfect place to both escape and

discover. To truly experience the magic, one must simply

be willing.

Located on the southern tip of Nusa Dua, Bali, a tropical

paradise where the sea is calm, the sand is pristine white

and the luxury of serenity prevails,

The Ritz-Carlton, Bali

blends into the lush landscape, gently enlivening the
