Nestled in Sayan, Ubud, The Ridge Boutique Hotel, designed by Jessy Panduwinata and Ari Wiratma of Arhpa Studio, seamlessly blends minimalist and modern tropical aesthetics with the enduring allure of teak wood. The hotel features five exclusive villas, designed for an intimate escape, each boasting lounge areas, cabanas, and swimming pools with unique designs.
Perched above the Ayung River, the villas provide a tranquil retreat serenaded by the soothing sounds of the meandering river. Carefully landscaped surroundings capture the lush ambiance of the ridge, while the terrace, adjacent to the glistening pool, hosts an inviting outdoor bathtub, creating a peaceful oasis for relaxation.
Each villa showcases local artwork, marrying contemporary aesthetics with the island's creativity. The bathroom seamlessly connects to the terrace, offering panoramic views and an immersive indoor-outdoor shower experience. Catering to diverse guest needs, the rooms feature a multipurpose studio desk for professional tasks, concealed dressers, and locally crafted furniture composed of teakwood and rattan. The green accent pillows are dyed with natural indigo and mango, adding an eco-friendly touch.
The modern bar area, adorned with marble and warm teak, exudes sophistication and is strategically placed on the lowest level, offering a gradual reveal as guests ascend the stairs. The Valley Sunset Bar, with its diverse wine selection and freshly prepared tapas, complements the mesmerizing sunset views, creating a unique and immersive experience.
