Hanging Gardens of Bali
Deep jungle luxury with serious architectural intent. Contemporary Balinese — hand-carved woods, natural textiles, terrazzo tubs — but never fussy. Romantic and genuinely remote.

Why It Matters
The dual-level infinity pool is one of the most photographed pools on Earth, named World's Best Swimming Pool by Condé Nast Traveller. The resort architecture by Clint Nagata (BLINK Design Group) follows the natural valley contours on stilts, making every villa feel suspended in the canopy. The Hidden Palace — a 2,000 sqm five-bedroom estate originally built as a private residence — is only accessible via private funicular.
Forty-four private pool villas perched above the Ayung River gorge, roughly 30 minutes from central Ubud. Built in 2005 by BLINK Design Group's Clint Nagata using local Mount Batur volcanic stone, bamboo, and timber — and its iconic two-tiered infinity pool, suspended above the rainforest canopy, was named the world's best pool by Condé Nast Traveller. You arrive at reception, then ride a funicular down through the jungle to your villa.
