Embracing Serenity at The Ridge Boutique Villas in Bali

In the cultural heart of Bali, where the vibrancy of Indonesian art and the tranquility of nature blend seamlessly, The Ridge Boutique Villas stand as a testament to luxury, privacy, and natural beauty. Perched on the edge of the Sayan Ridge, by the meandering Ayung River, these five exclusive villas offer more than just a place to stay; they present a sanctuary, where nature and refined comfort align to create an unforgettable stay.

Ubud is globally revered as a nexus of spirituality and cultural richness, a backdrop that elevates The Ridge Boutique Villas to more than just a destination. It’s a retreat for those who seek both the tranquility of nature and the pulse of Balinese culture. The villas promise an exclusive hideaway, where every aspect of your stay from the warmest of welcomes to the personalised butler service, aim to exceed expectations.

The Ridge takes pride in offering bespoke experiences, particularly through its exclusive in-house spa and dining services. Imagine unwinding with a Balinese massage on your private terrace or indulging in a herbal bath under the stars — all within the privacy of your villa. During our stay we experienced the Heritage Balinese Massage which was absolute bliss. This technique of massage has been practiced through many generations in Bali. It combines long soothing strokes with gentle acupressure to ease tension.

Dining at The Ridge is an adventure in itself, with a focus on local produce and traditional flavors, served in the privacy of your villa or the picturesque Sayan Valley Bar. Each meal and cocktail is crafted to offer a taste of the island’s rich culinary heritage. We particularly enjoyed the Soya Marinated Tuna with a citrus wakame dressing accompanied by the Ikigai Sour cocktail, a modern take on the classic whisky sour with the sweetness of apples and yuzu to bring aromatic balance.

Delving into The Ridge’s Luxurious Villas

Crafted with an exquisite blend of traditional Balinese aesthetics and contemporary simplicity, each villa at The Ridge exudes warmth and elegance. The use of teak wood, fabric wall-hangings, and carefully selected Indonesian artefacts infuses each space with a local charm, while modern amenities ensure your stay is comfortable and seamless.
