The Mansion Resort & Spa, Bali

by Olivia Taylor

There are many reasons why all travelers would find peace and solace at The Mansion. For one, Ubud, a spiritual town located in Bali’s mystical and alluring jungles, has attracted local Indonesians and ex-pats alike for decades. Ubud pays homage to the traditional Balinese culture through performance art, architecture, and spiritual ceremonies, while also integrating modern-day innovation such as trendy boutiques and technology.

But if resort lounging is what you prefer, The Mansion also has you covered there. A sprawling property with over 150 rooms to choose from, from Deluxe to Penthouse Suites, you won’t feel crowded or as though you’re imposing on other guests. And it is undoubtedly the spot to make all of your tropical fantasies come true: sipping vegan mojito poolside with the sun beating down on you while local artists grace the stage playing authentic Indonesian instruments, including the suling and gamelan. Nature and culture seamlessly meld here. With six pools, including the saltwater and crystal water variety, delicately placed around the tropical, lust estate, your only concern will be having to choose where to sunbathe. Fancy being more active? Why not take a yoga class, exercise in the gym, or indulge in the resort’s sauna?

And guests need not be gourmands to be tantalized by the gastronomic choices at The Mansion. At Indochine, savor the unique combination of Asian & Continental nouvelle cuisine, an ideal location for a special dinner or gathering. For those who don’t eat meat, the stunning Plumeria Restaurant offers a Pescatarian menu and a plant-based menu by Chef Alejandro Montano of Nihisumba. Plumeria is a beautiful rooftop restaurant that features an aquaponics garden restaurant, growing herbs on-site for the dishes. Moreover, the restaurant is decorated with an array of art from The Mansion’s private collection. Cafe La Terrace, located by the popular SunKiss Pool, offers a casual menu with fantastic cocktails and mocktails. The Mansion also caters to unique dinners, from Tree House Dining, family-style Megibung, to Royal Rijsttafels, ideal for special occasions and celebrations.

Most of all, it is the welcoming staff at The Mansion Resort & Spa who will make you feel like you’re part of the family. You’ll return home feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and connected to your new Mansion family.
