Our honeymoon at Tanah Gajah in Ubud was pure magic! Nestled among serene rice paddies and stunning, well-maintained gardens, it's a truly peaceful escape. Our villa was perfect: beautifully furnished, spotless, and fully equipped. The private pool was a delight, and the gate to the rice fields was a unique touch we loved. Evenings were made special by the outdoor bath. The restaurant setting is very romantic and food was absolutely amazing and delicious. What made our stay truly exceptional were the included benefits: a relaxing massage, an incredible hot air balloon experience, insightful rice paddy trekking, and daily afternoon tea and cocktail hour. The thoughtful evening turn-down and biscuits were also much appreciated. We even saw a captivating fire dance! The staff were simply incredible—so friendly and attentive, making us feel incredibly pampered. Ubud is about a 15-minute drive (traffic permitting!) and the resort's free daily transport made exploring easy.

Nothing

- food was great. Afternoon tea complimentary was a great addition, with new items ever day - room was better than anticipated. Very large, and outdoor bathroom was unique. - the staff were wonderful, and every single need was accounted for and supported efficiently via WhatsApp. they truly made our stay very welcoming!! - complimentary laundry was appreciated and unexpected! - shuttles to and from town made for easy access to restaurants - the grounds and pool were inviting and relaxing - so much was complimentary that we didn't expect. including a spa service, room sweets, and sunset cocktail!

- gym air-conditioning could have been better. but ok as you were distracted working out with a view of the rice fields

perfect location for a calm and relaxing time, offering excellent food in Villa breakfast and a great selection of drinks and wine. Attending the Tuesday and Friday night Kecak dance is an absolute must when staying at Tanah Gajah resort. The resort is far enough away from the bustle of Ubud but just a short hotel car ride away to go shopping or exploring art and culture. It is so good that we have returned at least once every since our first stay in 2014 (except for COVID shutdown times) Definitely worth the travel. The ideal place to stay.

nothing comes to mind

The property is stunning! Super super quiet, like we only saw other guests at dinner, one other table. Then breakfast three tables. The staff were the best, remembered everything we liked and looked after us to perfection. The villa was stunning, the history is lovely. All the free inclusions were lovely.

The only non amazing thing was the food by the pool. It’s not up to the standard of everything else. I will say though that I had a dish at dinner of confit chicken with mash, jus and vegetables, it was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had.

I've been regularly here since The Chedi times, observing how the places evolves over the years and I believe it keeps well with the time. For me this is ultimate relax and life-detox place, when being in Ubud, yet same time away from any hassle. It is quiet, serene, maximizing your privacy even when you are outdoors by spacious, wonderful territory. New experiences arose in last years, like the new lounge, kids pool or the balloon flights, yet the core values and the soul, the key staff members - all remained same and welcomed me back again. I won't stop coming here as far as I can, as this is so much rejuvenating to take a break in those settings, watching sunset over the rise fields with the glass of signature Tanah Gajah Purple in your hand..

Nothing serios, albeit some construction was going on, limiting outward visibility over the rice terraces.. I wish the swing to be back - it was wonderful! And I've missed the ceremony of lighting up the REAL torches in the rice field...sometimes we need less progress to celebrate human-only moments.

We travel a lot and this was one of the best hotel experiences we had in life. From the arrival to the 5th day, the hotel staff kept exceeding our expectations. Easy check in, very important when you arrive late and tired. Very comfortable and clean room. The spa massage is fantastic. Excellent day tour with hotel driver. Breakfast and meals with good quality and excellent service. Transfer to Ubud centre… But the best in Tanah Gajah is the Staff: very well trained team and, more importantly, really good heart people! Big thanks to everyone in the team!

Have to leave the hotel 😭😭

Exquisitely decorated expansive resort with serene open spaces and beautiful peaceful luxury villas Staff are just amazing, kind and generous and offer Aman level customer service. Their inclusions are a wonderful addition including minibar, transport to and from Ubud and much more. If you can’t find happiness and serenity here and don’t love it then you probably need to see a psychologist

The grounds of the hotel are very beautiful, with several sculptures. The room was of a good size, nicely decorated and comfortable. And the staff was just superb - really helpful, quick to react, polite. It is rather small hotel so it feels very private. Their whatsapp 'concierge' was very convenient, and the staff responded promptly.

The pool is located in a nice area, however, it is not heated.

Tanah Gajah is a gem, even by Balinese standards. Designed by an artist for himself, you feel as if you are living within a royal garden. Visual feasts of sculptures, landscaping, nature(white and black swans, white pigeons, egrets landing in the rice paddies). The villas are fantastic, the food is great, the staff are delightful and attend to your every need. Complimentary alcohol, fruit, afternoon tea with snacks, and cocktails, and daily yoga are included. Nothing is spared to make your stay enjoyable. The only downside each morning is having to make the difficult decision whether to take an excursion, or stay for another tranquil day of pure luxury.

This place was an absolute highlight of our family trip to Bali. Escape from the noise and business of other areas, a perfect base to explore Ubud rivers walk shops etc, or just relax all day on the grounds. Gardens and pools were just paradise. Staff entertained kids with fishing and feeding birds with such patience and kindness at all times. I o my wishes we had stayed longer, will definitely return for a longer stay in the future.
