For those seeking self-reflection or deep connection with loved ones in an atmosphere of unparalleled privacy, this serene retreat on the outskirts of Ubud offers an ideal setting, cradled as it is between two rivers that embody Bali’s cultural and spiritual heritage.
The secluded surrounds are enhanced by the distinctive architecture of the resort, which guests arrive at by strolling across a dramatic skybridge. The Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan features 42 pool villas and 18 rice terrace suites, each with either riverfront or valley views, allowing guests to experience the luxuriant scenery from the comfort of their private sanctuary. Interiors evoke a distinct sense of place, with a blend of traditional and modern Balinese styles that favors teak furniture and hand-loomed textiles.
Complementing these luxurious accommodations is the newly upgraded Sacred River Spa, a space that provides deeply immersive experiences from “unseen” energy-focused therapies to “seen” healing rituals. Signature Balinese rituals such as Tirta Ening, a water-centric cleansing ceremony, demonstrate Bali’s ancient wisdom and respect for nature.

The resort’s wellness program extends to unique experiences with Ibu Fera, a resident wellness mentor and former Buddhist nun. Her offerings include meditation sessions, Sacred Naps, and insightful Life Talks that enrich guests’ journeys of healing and self-discovery.
For authentic Balinese experiences beyond the property, Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan connects guests to the island’s spiritual and cultural roots through off-the-beaten-track tours and activities like “A Day in the Life of a Balinese Rice Farmer.” Private rafting trips down the Ayung River—Bali’s longest watercourse—is another highlight.
Stays here are complemented by exquisite dining. The aptly named Riverside restaurant offers a fresh Mediterranean menu under a canopy of banyan trees, while Ayung Terrace specializes in modern Indonesian dishes. The archipelago’s traditional culinary methods are showcased at Sokasi, a Chef’s Table experience that allows guests to savor the flavors of Bali and beyond in an enchanting riverside setting.
