In the heart of Bali’s lush highlands, where rivers flow through misty valleys, and traditions live in every ritual, a new story of harmony is about to begin. This January, Hiliwatu, Bali Ubud, a Tribute Portfolio Resort, will open its doors in the tranquil village of Bresela, Gianyar, offering a soulful sanctuary where architecture, wellness, and culture blend effortlessly with the natural rhythm of the land.
Ubud – Bali’s Spiritual and Cultural Heart
Nestled in Bali’s tropical core, Ubud continues to inspire explorers from around the world. Here, each morning reveals a canvas of sculpted rice terraces formed through the ancient subak, a UNESCO-recognised expression of harmony between people and nature. The area encourages travellers to slow their pace, awaken their senses, and rediscover the quiet beauty of everyday life.
Adventure and culture flow through Ubud with effortless rhythm. From the gentle rapids of the Ayung River, accompanied by soft calls of the forest, wander the famous Tegallalang Rice Terraces that ripple across the hillsides like living sculptures, or end the day with a traditional dance performance at Ubud Palace, where gesture preserves stories passed across generations.
A New Destination in Tune with Nature
Soon to rise within this tranquil setting, Hiliwatu, Bali Ubud, invites travellers to immerse themselves in a sense of balance shaped by design, culture, and nature. Set above a river valley and framed by tropical forest, the resort moves in step with Ubud’s natural rhythm. Guided by elemental harmony, this upcoming sanctuary will honour the spirit of the region, where every sunrise inspires renewal and every evening brings a sense of peaceful grounding. With a design philosophy rooted in local tradition and deep respect for the land, Hiliwatu, Bali Ubud will reflect a feeling of connection to place, to people, and to self.
