Tanah Gajah Bali

Hidden among the lush undulating hills of Bali’s culture-rich highlands, Tanah Gajah, a Resort by Hadiprana (former The Chedi Club Tanah Gajah, Ubud) sits among thriving rice fields as far as the eye can see.

Just outside the artists’ village of Ubud, the former estate of Hendra Hadiprana – one of Indonesia’s most respected art collectors – has been transformed into an intimate luxury resort with twenty individual villas, each featuring unique and original Balinese artworks from his collection.

Our luxurious, yet rustic, five-hectare hotel in Ubud offers an authentic backdrop to one of Bali’s most dramatic performances, the Kecak dance, performed at the resort’s very own ampitheatre. Those seeking serenity and rejuvenation will find both in abundance at The Spa-nestled at the edge of the seemingly endless paddy fields.

Experience breathtaking sunrises over the captivating Mount Agung – Bali’s highest and holiest mountain – and enjoy a leisurely stroll by the estate’s lotus pond, home to a family of white Dutch and black Australian swans.

TWO BEDROOM CLUB FAMILY POOL VILLA
Surely one of the most compelling reasons Australia’s Five Star Kids magazine selected Tanah Gajah as one of Bali’s top family resorts, these spacious flat-level family villas with a master bedroom and twin-bedded guestroom plus an ample tropical garden are designed for spending quality family time together.

Unwind with a deep soak in the outdoor terrazzo bath, or join your children to splash and swim in your private pool. Beyond the beauty and privacy of this family-friendly haven, parents will find these villas’ best feature is your dedicated butler, who caters to your every need including safe care of your young ones so you two are free to blissfully reconnect at the spa or by dining à deux under the Ubud stars.

ONE BEDROOM CLUB POOL VILLA 
Spread at generous intervals for maximum privacy, each of the nine One Bedroom Villas with private pool is distinguishable by its hand-carved indigenous wood furnishings and original Balinese artwork from the Hadiprana Collection.

The latest in modern technology keeps guests connected and entertained with personal multi charging stations, Bose entertainment systems with bluetooth connectivity and LED smart television, while outdoor decks and private verandas ensure the timeless pleasures of travelling together.

Plunge into the villa’s eight-metre private pool for a proper swim. No mere dipping here. Each of these nine, palm-fringed private compounds is furnished with padded loungers under the sun, a cosy bale for dining and a shaded daybed for reclining, giving you your own secluded paradise in the heart of Bali.

In addition to generous indoor living spaces, filled with authentic Balinese touches alongside modern conveniences, each Pool Villa features luxurious dual sink bathrooms with indoor showers and outdoor soaking tubs – protected from the island’s tropical cloud bursts, an ideal choice for adventurous couples seeking to celebrate their romantic getaway.

THE HADIPRANA ESTATE
Tanah Gajah’s founder and owner, Hendra Hadiprana originally built this one-of-a-kind two-bedroom estate as the master accommodation for him and his wife. This exclusive suite features some of the finest paintings, antiques and artefacts from his vast private collection, all set in 570 square metres of sprawling space.

The luxury two-bedroom villa has a spacious master bathroom equipped with an outdoor Jacuzzi tub, and a twin-bedded guestroom with an ensuite bathroom, granting both bedrooms comfort as well as privacy. The spacious living and dining areas are perfect for hosting intimate dinner parties.

Outside, amidst the resort’s lush tropical gardens, sits a private 10-metre long swimming pool with an extensive deck with lounge chairs and a large comfortable bale for your personal use, making it a magical retreat for couples, families and groups.

DINING
The Tempayan at Tanah Gajah offers unobstructed panoramic views of unobstructed rice fields and the tropical jungle beyond from every table. A backdrop that is almost enough to distract from the gastronomic pleasures ahead.

When you visit The Tempayan, settle onto a padded cane chair in the airy dining room under the traditional Balinese thatched roof for breakfast, lunch and dinner, when countless candles flicker amidst the paddies.

The rice that accompanies our Balinese cuisine comes straight from the same surrounding paddies, while Western and Asian specialities benefit from our Singapore-native Executive Chef Dean Nor’s 17 years of professional experience working on an island renowned for its cultural affinity to good food.

THE TEMPAYAN 
The Tempayan offers unobstructed panoramic views of Tanah Gajah’s rice fields and the tropical jungle beyond from every table. A backdrop that is almost enough to distract from the gastronomic pleasures ahead. Drawing inspiration from Tanah Gajah’s rich history and local culture, Tanah Gajah, a Resort by Hadiprana has unveiled a new restaurant in May of 2021.

Like The Tempayan, which stood in its place before, the new dining destination is influenced by the designs of Balinese style pavilions, wantilan, that are the gathering place at the heart of a village. Moored among the resort’s rice paddies the restaurant will make the most of its location.

PANEN PADI LOUNGE
Nestled on an elevated grounds of Tanah Gajah estate, Panen Padi lounge is the latest culinary destination at Tanah Gajah Ubud offering tapas style nibbles inspired by house-smoked and house-cured produce, paired with signature cocktails and mocktails crafted by the freshest herbs harvested from our organic garden.

Surrounded by sweeping views of the seemingly endless rice paddy fields and the tranquil swan pond, Panen Padi lounge certainly ensures an elevated Tapas bar experience like no other.

SPA & WELLNESS
The Spa at Tanah Gajah, Ubud provides an elegant blend of effortless calm and modern facilities. Inside our two paddy-facing Spa Suites, you can view Ubud’s iconic rice paddies, which calm the mind as talented therapists stroke stress away from the body.

Signature treatments include Tanah Gajah Jade Massage and classic Indonesian cream bath, which deep conditions hair while experienced hands knead your scalp, shoulders, arms and hands.

Views onto those same fertile fields inspire and distract from The Health Club within the yoga studio. You can even dive into our 25-metre swimming pool with views of sacred Mount Agung in the distance providing the perfect backdrop.

RECREATIONAL FACILITIES 
Try trekking into the rice paddies with your personal butler, who will happily share local knowledge of village life, pointing out the multi-tiered temples where Balinese pray every day, how they harvest the lush fields that are their lifeline and what inspires the island’s traditional arts & crafts. Then after all that activity, you can come back to cool off in our 25-metre pool with a quick, relaxing dip or a more serious swim.

WEDDINGS IN BALI
Our guests believe that, beyond our memorable venues and authentic Balinese elements, what made their wedding or event truly special was allowing Tanah Gajah Ubud attend to all the details.

THE ART OF DISCOVERY

JUNGLE BUGGY ADVENTURE
Bali’s first and only ‘purpose-built ATV track’. This thrilling new course, spanning 4.5km over each lap, was crafted with the hardiest adventure seekers in mind to provide an exciting and intense driving experience like no other on the island.

Utilizing Polaris Buggies, guests have the option of choosing between single-seated ACE models or to ride tandem with a friend or guide in double-seated RZR models, as well as deciding the amount of laps to complete.

Your adventure starts at Koko Bambu Restaurant, a beautiful natural structure comprised of bamboo. A safety video and demonstration will be shown outlining the necessary precautions and procedures involved with handling the buggies, before helmets with visors are distributed. Then, you’ll get in your vehicle and after a brief warm up session, you’re ready to tear up the track!

ROYAL BALINESE DINNER
Ubud is the cultural centre of Bali and is famous for its dances, and Tanah Gajah Ubud is proud to host a dance troupe of between fifty and seventy boys and men from the local community who perform the Kecak dance.

The spectacular 30 minute-long Balinese Kecak and fire dance performances are held at Tanah Gajah Ubud’s candle-lit outdoor amphitheatre, every Tuesday and Friday starting from 7:00 pm, followed by an opportunity for guests to take photos with the talented performers before heading to The Tempayan restaurant for the Royal Rijsttafel dinner experience.
