One of Bali most idyllic resort takes its name from a sacred gourd depicted in the ancient Mahabharata epic. This vessel contained the Tirtha Amertha, holy water capable of giving everlasting life.Surrounded by springs from which water is still drawn for religious ceremonies, today's Kamandalu offers much the same soul-restoring reward by providing its guests with relaxation that is both energizing and blissfully languorous.

Kamandalu Resort & Spa is situated amidst lush green rice terraces close to Ubud, Bali's most celebrated artists' village and convenient to all the island's myriad attractions. Yet Kamandalu's hillside setting above the rushing Petanu River provides a blissful sense of seclusion and peace.
