Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali, is famed for its stunning rice terraces, ancient temples, and vibrant artistic scene. But nestled amidst the lush rainforests surrounding Ubud lies a hidden gem - the Nandini Jungle Resort & Spa. This luxurious resort offers an unparalleled experience, combining traditional Balinese architecture with modern amenities, all set within a breathtaking jungle landscape.
Reaching Paradise: A Secluded Escape
Nandini's seclusion is part of its charm. Located just minutes from the Hanging Gardens, reaching the resort requires a short drive followed by a funicular ride (or a scenic walk up hundreds of steps) through the verdant jungle. This initial journey itself sets the tone for your escape, transporting you away from the hustle and bustle of Ubud into a world of tranquility.
An Oasis of Tranquility: Unwinding in Lush Embrace
Nandini boasts only 18 individual villas, each meticulously crafted from natural materials and blending seamlessly into the surrounding landscape. My villa, perched on the hillside, offered breathtaking views of the untouched Balinese jungle. Stepping onto the balcony, the fresh jungle air enveloped me, and the only sounds were the calls of exotic birds and the gentle rustling of leaves.
Indulgence Awaits: Luxurious Amenities and Unforgettable Experiences
The spacious villa itself was a haven of comfort and luxury. The plush bed draped in a mosquito net ensured a peaceful night's sleep, while the private balcony provided the perfect spot to unwind with a refreshing drink and soak in the stunning scenery. The in-room fridge was a welcome addition, allowing me to stock up on beverages and enjoy them at my leisure.
But Nandini's allure extends beyond the individual villas. The resort boasts a stunning infinity pool that seems to blend seamlessly into the jungle canopy. Swimming here was an experience in itself, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the rainforest. The resort also offers a luxurious spa, where I indulged in a rejuvenating massage using traditional Balinese techniques.
A Paradise Found: Exploring the Surroundings
While Nandini's seclusion offers a welcome escape, venturing out to explore the surrounding area is equally rewarding. The nearby Hanging Gardens, with their cascading waterfalls and lush greenery, are a must-visit. Ubud's town center, with its vibrant art scene, traditional markets, and historical sites, is also within easy reach.
Planning Your Escape: Costs and Logistics
Nandini Jungle Resort & Spa caters to the discerning traveler, and the price reflects the exclusivity and luxurious experience. While the exact cost per night can vary depending on the season and villa type, expect to pay a premium for this unique getaway.
Transportation within the resort is provided by the funicular, and taxis are readily available for exploring the surrounding area. However, due to the resort's secluded location, renting a car might be a good option for those who prefer more flexibility.
A Final Note: An Unforgettable Experience Awaits
My stay at Nandini Jungle Resort & Spa was an unforgettable experience. From the breathtaking views and luxurious accommodations to the attentive service and the opportunity to immerse myself in the beauty of the Balinese jungle, Nandini exceeded all my expectations. If you are seeking a luxurious escape in Ubud, and are prepared for a secluded and premium experience, then Nandini Jungle Resort & Spa is the perfect sanctuary for you.
