Hanging Gardens of Bali, Luxury resort in Payangan, Indonesia
The Hanging Gardens of Bali is a luxury resort in Payangan with 38 private villas spread across eight levels overlooking the Ayung River valley. The property uses traditional architecture and is surrounded by dense rainforest.
The resort opened in 2003 and has combined modern hotel design with traditional Balinese elements like thatched Alang Alang roofs. The property was deliberately integrated into the existing forest landscape.
The resort reflects traditional Balinese building practices, where temples and natural elements are woven into the design. Visitors can participate in local ceremonies and experience how spiritual life shapes daily practices here.
The resort is about 30 minutes from Ubud and approximately 90 minutes from Bali International Airport. Shuttle services are available for guests wishing to explore the surrounding region.
The villas are built on multiple levels down the hillside and appear to hover over the river valley, giving the resort its name. Each villa features its own heated infinity pool overlooking the surrounding greenery.
