Hanging Gardens of Bali

Hanging Gardens of Bali is a hillside resort above the Ayung River valley near Ubud, set amid dense rainforest. It is known for a twin-tier cascading infinity pool that appears to blend into the surrounding canopy. Access around the steep terrain is assisted by a funicular system connecting villas and shared facilities.

What you find there

Accommodation centres on private pool villas set within terraced gardens. Categories include Signature (Hanging Gardens) Pool Villas, Panoramic Pool Villas, Two-Bedroom Pool Villas, Riverside Pool Villas and The Hidden Palace with five suites. Many villas feature rainforest views and private infinity pools positioned to face the valley. The resort’s gardens are laid out across eight terraces linked by 88 steps, reflecting the steep hillside setting. The property was constructed by 4,000 workers in 15 months with minimal tree removal, shaping the paths, terraces and villa plots into the slope above the river.

Experiences and facilities

Facilities include Spa by the River positioned beside the Ayung River, offering treatments in a setting close to the water. Services include personalised VIP butler assistance for villa guests. Dining options feature curated setups such as Romance Under The Stars and in-villa private floating feasts served in pool villas. Experiences include Sacred Bali & Temple Rituals and bespoke romantic dinners that can include traditional blessings arranged on the grounds or in private villa spaces.

Practical info

Movement between the reception area, pool decks and villa levels uses a funicular to navigate the gradient. Paths and stairs connect to terraces, with the funicular providing transport along the main vertical route. Villas are arranged to emphasise privacy and uninterrupted rainforest views, and many include their own infinity pools oriented toward the Ayung River valley.
