Four Seasons Bali, Sayan & Jimbaran
So-called as the ‘Riverside retreat in Bali’s cultural heart’ there are no words to really describe the feeling you get when entering into the Four Seasons Sayan. From the minute you cross over the iconic suspension bridge elevated high above the treetops, you are transported into another world. A world where you feel a deeper connection with the heart and soul of Bali.
It’s true, there is a sacred energy in this hillside village. A gentle symphony flows through the grounds, one built of wilderness harmonies; the running Ayung River, birds chirping, the breeze rustling through the trees. Take a walk around the grounds or relax in one of the many suites and duplex villas built for privacy and indulgence.
Ubud is said to be the artistic and spiritual epicentre of Bali and here you are encouraged to experience a sense of discovery during your stay. With guides that share the secrets of Bali exclusively with Four Seasons guests, ensuring you beat the crowds at some of the most famous temples and historical sites plus at those that lie off the beaten track. Activities such as cooking classes and river rafting ensure you get to taste, see, smell and feel the mighty surroundings for yourself and really embrace the culture.
If you really want to capture Bali’s full magic, you must experience both the jungle and the beach. Combine your stay with Four Seasons Jimbaran; a beachfront Balinese village rooted in heritage.
Sheltered in a calm bay with over 3 miles of sandy shoreline, your days will so effortlessly drift on by. Let the hours slip away whilst you lounge at Jimbaran’s most seductive beach club, Sundara. Hang-out here all day, enjoy the 54m infinity pool overlooking the waves or join Sundara for sundowners and live music to ease you into the night. Dine in one of the 3 restaurants on site or opt for in-villa dining from your private pool villa.
Much like its sister resort, the level of detail in ensuring guests get to feel and experience true Balinese culture is second to none. If you can drag yourself away from the indulgent spa and intimate anti-gravity yoga classes at the intricately designed yoga bale, then two activities high on our list to try are, 1. The Cooking Academy. Here you’ll get to learn about and cook a selection of Balinese traditional dishes, plus visit the markets and gardens of the resort to collect all the home-grown produce needed for each dish.
Secondly, count your blessings by having a personalised tour of the resident temple and over 300 shrines found on the grounds of Four Seasons Jimbaran by the resorts own High Priest.
Enjoy a stay at Four Seasons Bali and become one with Bali’s magical energy and gentle nature.
