Located in the central highlands of Ubud, Four Seasons Sayan is simultaneously an intimate hideaway nestled between two rivers, and a global architectural icon. Guests make a dramatic entrance via a footbridge high above the treetops, leading to a stunning rooftop pond from which their descend into the lobby and the resort’s natural paradise.
Submerged in the jungle greenery, 42 private pool villas and 18 suites enable guests to retreat from the world and embrace the valley's healing energy. Interiors are appointed with a mix of contemporary and Balinese décor including rich teak furnishings and exotic hand-loomed fabrics, while service is both friendly and discreet with the impeccable Four Seasons touch.
