- Healing and spa rituals
- The Sacred Monkey Forest
- Plant-based dining
- River-valley villas
By the Ayung river · riverside healing
Mambal
A quiet riverside village a short drive from Ubud, given over to healing. Mambal is bamboo pavilions, sacred-water rituals and long, slow days built around the rhythm of the Ayung, with barely a sound but the water.
