Four Seasons Hotel at Sayan
Four Seasons Resort Ubud
This hotel is incredible. It’s unlike what you can imagine when you think of a hotel out of your price range, especially in a tropical paradise. The dirt is that I had a driver take me to a couple of places to view the Ayung River. We first stopped at the Sayan Terrace Resort and then drove over to the Four Seasons. When you pull up to the guarded gate at the Four Seasons Hotel expansive property, your car gets checked for explosives. Then, you drive a bit along an endless driveway, reinforcing the idea of entering a very secluded and elite land. At the hotel entrance, which is not really an entrance as much as it is a disembarking area, there is a sleek fountain surrounded by black tile.

Then, the magic. There is a very long wooden bridge with spots of thatched roofs that lead to an enormous disc-like lily pond. The wooden bridge looks like a dock you’d find in an old town. It ends at the center of the lily pond, which surrounds most of the bridge. You look out and amazement will strike you. Bali’s jungle surrounds you in the distance. You realize how high you are and you feel as if you’re hanging over the Ayung River canyon. On the bridge, you can see the Ayung River’s gorge below. Have a seat in the open air lounge/restaurant. Order a drink and indulge in the incredible panoramic scene around you. Phew!
