Tanah Gajah, a Resort by Hadiprana, has officially launched its highly anticipated Premier One Bedroom Club Pool Villas, setting a new benchmark for luxury hospitality in Bali’s Ubud region. Nestled within 5 hectares of emerald rice fields and framed by views of Mount Agung, this latest addition to the resort exemplifies the synergy between timeless Balinese tradition and contemporary comfort.
Located just five kilometers from central Ubud in Gianyar Regency, Tanah Gajah stands as a beacon of sustainable elegance. Formerly the private estate of renowned Indonesian architect Hendra Hadiprana, the resort remains under the thoughtful care of his daughter, Ms. Puri Hadiprana, and granddaughter, Ms. Sekaraya Hadiprana Surjaudaja, who have maintained its legacy of refined design and cultural reverence.
Tradition Reimagined: A Legacy Reborn
Originally envisioned as a private family retreat in the 1960s, Tanah Gajah has evolved into one of Bali’s most culturally rich hospitality destinations. The new Premier One Bedroom Club Pool Villas reflect this legacy, embodying a philosophy of design that merges Balinese art with subtle luxury.
Each of the five new villas spans over 250 square meters and features exclusive House of Hadiprana furnishings—handcrafted lamps, armchairs, and a bespoke Kalinda coffee table made from quartz with brass accents. Indigenous elements from the village of Tengkulak, including artisanal woodwork, enhance the living spaces. Sculptures of birds and tropical leaves curated by Hadiprana Artwork greet guests, symbolizing prosperity and harmony with nature.
A Private Oasis in the Cultural Highlands
Designed with wellness and tranquility in mind, the villas come with private eight-metre swimming pools, an alfresco dining pavilion, and an outdoor soaking tub that immerses guests in Bali’s natural beauty. Elevated above the surrounding rice paddies, the villas offer a sense of seclusion, yet they remain connected to the vibrancy of Ubud’s spiritual and artistic heartbeat.
Guests who book the Club Villas enjoy a suite of premium benefits:
- Personal butler service
- Daily à la carte breakfast
- Afternoon tea at Panen Padi Lounge
- Evening cocktails with canapés
- Guided morning treks and yoga sessions
These inclusions are designed to provide a comprehensive wellness and cultural experience, allowing guests to disconnect from the digital world and embrace Bali’s timeless serenity.
Culinary Artistry with a View
Dining at Tanah Gajah is as much a cultural experience as it is a gastronomic one. Under the leadership of Executive Chef Dean Nor, The Tempayan restaurant serves elevated Balinese and Western cuisine in an open-air pavilion overlooking verdant paddies. Signature dishes use seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, while curated wine pairings add a touch of sophistication to each meal.
For more casual moments, the Panen Padi Lounge offers a scenic setting for daily afternoon tea, with sweeping views of lotus ponds and rice terraces—a perfect backdrop for reflection and relaxation.
A Spiritual and Cultural Retreat
Beyond architectural beauty and culinary excellence, Tanah Gajah continues to emphasize holistic wellbeing and cultural immersion. The resort recently launched its “Journey to Balance” retreat, a two-night, three-day wellness package featuring traditional Balinese healing massages, yoga, meditation, and healthy cuisine. These experiences tap into Bali’s spiritual essence, providing rejuvenation for both body and soul.
Art lovers will appreciate the resort’s in-house gallery and curated installations celebrating Indonesian heritage. Guests are encouraged to engage with local artisans and attend cultural performances at the open-air amphitheatre, which hosts traditional dance and gamelan shows.
Ideal for Couples and Families Seeking Solitude
Whether for a honeymoon, anniversary, or a tranquil family escape, the Premier One Bedroom Club Pool Villas cater to guests looking for intimacy and sophistication. The secluded setting, paired with spacious interiors and personalized services, provides an idyllic environment for connection and rejuvenation.
As demand for slow, immersive travel grows, Tanah Gajah meets the moment with accommodations that respect both privacy and authenticity. Guests can indulge in luxury without sacrificing a deep connection to the cultural landscape around them.
