Tanah Gajah is located around 20 minutes outside Ubud, among lush rice paddy fields, in some of the most picturesque grounds of any hotel in Bali. The hotel was originally a traditional Balinese house, which has been converted into villas, each uniquely designed with original Balinese artworks and surrounded by lush tropical gardens.
Unlike many hotels in Ubud, where space is at a premium, the Tanah Gajah has huge grounds, and spacious rooms, allowing for a very relaxed atmosphere.
One of the standout features of Tanah Gajah is its commitment to providing personal experiences. Guests can enjoy a range of activities, from morning rice-paddy trekking with personal butlers to cooking classes and private dining at Bali’s iconic Elephant Gate. The resort also offers free scheduled yoga classes, allowing guests to start their day with a sense of peace and balance.,
The 28 m (91 ft) outdoor pool provides a refreshing escape, while the on-site spa offers a range of treatments to rejuvenate the body and mind. For those looking to stay active, the resort has a fitness center and offers bicycle rentals for exploring the surrounding area.
OUR OPINION:
Tanah Gajah truly excels in offering a personalized experience in Ubud. The personal butler service is a standout feature, providing guests with attentive and tailored care that makes every stay feel unique and special.
