Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan

Clinging onto a lush hillside quilted in rainforest that cascades down towards the serene flow of the Ayung River, the 5-star Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan is a singular Bali resort unlike anything else on the island. Its innovative architecture playfully evokes traditional rice bowls, while the luxurious suites and villas that dot the hillside feature traditional Balinese motifs throughout their spacious interiors. The resort’s fabulous dining outlets deliver an epicurean experience bursting with flavour, with Ayung Terrace serving archipelago-wide Indonesian dishes and Riverside showcasing a range of sumptuous Mediterranean dishes from Italy, Spain, France, Greece and Lebanon. You can dine al fresco overlooking the lush vegetation at Ayung Terrace or watch the Ayung River’s flowing waters while dining at Riverside. 24-hour in-villa dining is also an option for a more private experience, while the teak-decorated Jati Bar offers light snacks and indulgent afternoon teas with views of the river. As a resort dedicated to guests’ wellbeing, it is perhaps no surprise that the onsite Sacred River Spa delivers a comprehensive wellness experience designed to soothe the soul and realign both body and mind. Here you can unwind with ancestral Balinese healing rituals along with classic spa therapies, while there is also a well-equipped fitness centre plus a sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi. When you have a spare moment, you can traverse the resort’s incredible suspension bridge for panoramic views over the rainforest canopies, with the bridge leading to a spectacular ‘floating’ lotus pond. Elsewhere, the hotel’s dual-level outdoor swimming pool peers over the Ayung River, adding a scenic element as you enjoy a soak and savour some respite from Bali’s tropical temperatures. Along with a host of wellbeing activities such as aerial yoga and chakra balancing, the Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan offers a wonderful choice of curated cultural experiences that bring guests closer to the local community and the island’s natural environment. These include visits to crumbling temples, sunrise trekking on Mount Batur, a range of biking excursions, river rafting and spending a day in the life of a Balinese farmer amid the emerald-green rice paddies of the countryside.
