Ubud Hanging Gardens is situated in Ubud Surrounded by ancient trees and gravity-defying terraced gardens, this unique haven nestles on a dramatic hillside overlooking the Ayung river gorge.

Perched adjacent to steep rice terraces looking out to a temple on the opposite hill, this breathtaking property's individual Villas are all constructed in contemporary Balinese style with thatched alang-alang roofs and private plunge pools.
