Hidden among the lush undulating hills of Bali’s culture-rich highlands, this most private of Ubud hotels sits among thriving rice fields as far as the eye can see.
Just outside the artists’ village of Ubud, the former estate of Hendra Hadiprana, one of Indonesia’s most respected art collectors has been transformed into an intimate luxury retreat with twenty individual villas, each one uniquely featuring original Balinese artworks from his collection.
The rustic chic five-hectare hotel in Ubud offers an authentic backdrop to one of Bali’s most dramatic performances, the
Kecak dance - performed at the resort’s very own amphitheatre.
Those seeking serenity and rejuvenation will find both in abundance at The Spa, nestled at one edge of the seemingly endless paddy fields.
Experience breathtaking sunrises over Mount Agung - Bali’s highest and holiest mountain - and enjoy a leisurely stroll by the estate’s lotus pond, home to a family of white Dutch and black Australian swans.
All twenty art-filled refuges will please romantic escapists and active explorers alike.
With Suites that overlook lotus ponds, a Spa Pool Villa for ultra-private pampers, One-Bedroom Pool Villas where guests can do more than just plunge, Family Villas for ultimate togetherness and a one-of-a-kind Two-Bedroom Estate suitable for Balinese royalty the hotel's team have accommodation to suit all tastes and budgets.
As well as sumptuous luxury villas, at the The Chedi Club Tanah Gajah the hotel's team prides ourselves on providing an outstanding experience.

The Chedi Club Tanah Gajah restaurant offers unobstructed panoramic views of Tanah Gajah’s rice fields and the tropical jungle beyond from every table.
A backdrop that is almost enough to distract from the gastronomic pleasures ahead.
When you visit the restaurant, settle onto a padded cane chair in the airy dining room under the traditional Balinese thatched
roof for breakfast, lunch and dinner, when countless candles flicker amidst the paddies.
The rice that accompanies the Balinese cuisine comes straight from the same surrounding paddies, while Western and Asian specialities benefit from the Singapore-native Executive Chef Dean Nor’s 17 years of professional experience working on an island renowned for its cultural affinity to good food.
Seeking something even more indulgent than room service?
Ask your butler to organise a private candlelit dinner à deux in the rice paddies for a truly memorable and romantic experience.
Or let the team know what time is best for breakfast after a morning swim or sunrise yoga and The Chedi Club’s famously fluffy banana pancakes, hearty homemade muffins and a plate of exotic fruits will arrive precisely at your preferred time.
