MANDAPA, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve (Ubud, Bali): full tour 

I'm typing this from the River Pool Villa. I've been wanting to come here a long time ever since watching this and it's finally come true. I will be spending 14 full days in this heaven. Greetings from Mandapa 😂

Its really awesome.Unforgetable. Unity in natural. Feels genuine of Bali's character. So tranquil .

For me being an introvert this is the best most beautiful place I have ever seen love it thank you so much

I would not have thought of THE RITZ CARLTON in such a place as this, because the simplicity of the organic Zen design is serene, beautiful and your senses are heightened with it's calming natural surroundings. Love this, I really appreciate the cultural background info. Thank you :-)

For these earthy,Spa like properties, you really know how to pick the best music to be presented in the video. I'm impressed with the lovely plants they have all over..totally love the rooms and pools...

Really appreciated how your effort to making the beautiful of Ritz Carlton Mandapa. Attention to details of each corners from the main entrance, lobby area (completes with the beautiful shrines & temples around), the villas and it’s all reflected to the Hindu Balinese philosophy. Plus with beautiful music in the background that you choose...it’s absolutely WOW❤️👍👍. I am Balinese and so proud with my culture...thanks for sharing this to the worlds🙏.

OMG the ultimate natural resort I've ever seen

Bali is wonderful. unlike other tourist destination, you don’t have to spend so much because it really is affordable. The people are also hospitable and warm. Their culture is so rich and vibrant. Ive been there once, and i hope to come back soon.

I stayed at the Mandapa in May 2018 ... truely amazing! Such a beautiful property. The restaurant is not to be missed.

I live in an apartment in the Bay Area. These videos take me somewhere serene and peaceful. One day I will visit a resort featured on this channel. Gotta have hope!

I have been to many resorts in Asia from 1985-2005, This place looks so peaceful and I love all the nature that surrounds. This is on my bucket list

Easily, the most beautiful resort I've ever been to. Mandapa is Paradise

This must be what heaven looks like. So beautiful and peaceful.

So peaceful ... heavenly feelings

So lovingly filmed and presented. I can tell it's unrivalled sense of place and effortless elegance moved you as deeply as it did me.

Your truly a blessing for using your gift

I don't really comment on videos on RU-vid, but I have to say something. The videos you make are just amazing, the camera work is excellent. The music you choose for your videos is very good too. It fits nicely and is a great background. I really enjoy watching your videos, they are the best content on RU-vid. Thank you for taking your time to show us all these amazing resorts and the trips you take to get there. Most of us unfortunately won't have a chance to stay in these resorts so at least we can see what they look like in detail. Keep up the good work! ;)

Your filming, editing, written narrative and superb choice of music accompaniment is so beautiful and perfect! I feel the dramatic tension building as you film the Mandapa in all of it's splendid and sublime beauty....every scene carefully composed in your exquisite imagination! You are, by far, the finest travel film-maker on the Planet and I feel like I have just seen a wonderful full-length feature film every time I watch one of your magnificent films. There should be an Academy Award for this catagory of film-making as you are it's Master Story-teller and Cinematographer, Sir!

Mudah2an mereka2 yg bekerja di bidang pariwisata, dari level 'pinggir jalan' sampai 'bintang lima', bisa bangkit lagi setelah pandemi ini 💪

Villa is so beautiful and the decoration of bathroom is also beautiful, impressive ! ( I love how bathroom has separated shower, toilet and bathtub !)

again i have to react..but briefly...resort=unbelievable-epic..no words needed..your camera work:masterpiece..again tears in my eyes...and your eggs benedict:))....resort/your work is a oscar winner..big thanx

You've knocked the ball out of the park with this video. Now I must visit the 4 seasons Bali hotel and now the Ritz Bali Hotel. I love the spiritual vibes and brilliant interiors and exteriors of the properties.

This was one of the best hotels of my life I stayed there during my honeymoon in 2018! Incredible!

Just perfection. Captures all that a hotel in Ubud should.

Wirklich unglaublich schön was Du uns immer zeigst, danke dafür !

Beautiful. At every turn you catch your breath..... Exquisite. Wonderfully shot and your music is perfect. A spot of heaven on Earth..... Thank you. PS: Viktor and Olivia?

This place is so serene and peaceful, such beauty:-)

I went water rafting along Ayung River just earlier this year, I looked up at these grandiose hotels along the river and wondered how it was like inside. Mandapa being one of them. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to relieve memories from that day and allowing me the different view of this beautiful river. One day, I'll stay at this gorgeous place but till then, it'll remain as a to-do list.

I can feel the spirit...it needs no words...

Amazing video. Gives the feel as if being there. Awesome coverage. Great work.

Gorgeous! I also love the Viceroy in Ubud!

your v-logs are all outstanding! Quite an archive of luxury resorts and airline experiences for travelers and travel professionals (should be reference material for travel agents). Keep up the great work!

Amazing video and really does the resort justice. Stayed in October 16 and going back again next week as we loved it so much. Hell of a trek from Scotland but we love coming back to Bali. Definitely has the edge over the four seasons due the level of service which was out of this world.

This is my second favorite so far, after Monastero Santa Rosa. Thank you for sharing your lovely experiences!

BRAVO!! BRAVO!! BRAVO!! To all those that participated in building this phenomenal luxury, over the top, WOW hotel congratulations your hotel is absolute perfection. The attention to detail in every aspect is absolute stunning. What I love about Balinese design most (and I love everything they do with design), is the fact they use the garden, as the main attraction (main room if you will) and incorporated into the interior design via windows & sliding doors. This is absolutely breathtaking. 🌴🌴🌴💙 As, for your filming...top notch!! I love your channel. I typically mute the music (no offense to the musicians) just to really be engulfed into your tour. Your camera techniques are perfection, with words spoken mainly thru your cliff notes which give you all the info you really need. Keep up the great work. You have the perfect job! Wishing you & your family all the best in 2020!! 🎉✈️🌎💚🍀

Ritz Carlton and Bali are so good together. The one in Nusa Dua is also amazing. It has lots of daily activities for the guest.

Stayed twice during summer 2017 and early 2018. Resort is really good, service is really nice, very private and secluded .

So relaxing.... I will definitely take a day or two for enjoying myself.

This video helped me a lot as an architecture student

Hi doc. I literally had tears rolling down my eyes at the end of the clip. It made me so very nostalgic . I was in Ubud Bali in the summer of 2017. But now I am cooped up in the house. Your videos take me on a virtual tour of the world. Had seen the Tagallalang rice fields, the Blanco museum, and the elephant safari park in Ubud. The rice fields were balm to the eyes. Mandapa sits like a jewel in the emerald green surroundings. The resort has so many Hindu trappings. The suite you occupied was luxury redefined. The view of the rafters bumping along the Ayung river can be therapeutic. Greenery till the eyes take you is another striking feature of this property. Indeed a great substitute for your quintessential beaches. The 'ijuk' roofs look so glossy and rustic. Reminds me of traditional homes on the coastal belt of Karnataka. Thank you doc for posting this stupendous video.

Bali is heaven of the world

Very impressive. I can feel the cool breeze. So peaceful in mind.

Thanks for making such wonderful video.. it really make my mood on so relaxing so peaceful ❤

I love this hotel. One of my top 3 in the world. Its such an amazing place.

Correction : Bali is already well known before Eat pray love movie.. 😊

Breathtaking beautiful . No words

Kudos for making the effort to film mainly when no one is around. With me, I tend to be embarrassed when filming in public areas with all the folks staring at me. Especially in the Middle East!

This video was a pure delight to watch. Very tranquil and stylish decor. A inner- peace- style.

Ah Bali always delivers

Absolutely stunning views and very well choreographed! Well done on such an amazing video. Any chance you could put up the music playlist? Especially the first song , very touching and relaxing...thank you.👍

Amazing! We’re so lucky to see/experience this level of comfort due to You! I stopped @<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="803">13:23</a> ... decided I’d save the rest for tomorrow. 👍🏻

Bali has great interior design it's own and unique!!!

Hope I can go back this hotel and Ubud again very soon. Miss the food there.

Going back on the vlogs I missed..this is so beautiful and peaceful.😉

Stunning

WOW, yet again. Thank you for sharing.

Love the vibe, its relaxation.

That's an outstanding video. What a peaceful, tranquil place. I'd love to have a long stay at that resort. It's not a flashy, glitzy tourist trap.

the music makes me feels, can explain, my soul feels so good.

Temple like hotel are very unique and beautiful and like zen style which makes you feel comfortable and meditative!!!!

Absolutely stunning!

Ive been on this resort in a suite. Simply amazing!

Another Perfect video. Thank you.

What a place to relax you have the best job in the world pure relaxation ..😎

“Woke up this morning I found myself at home I turn up RU-vid To watch LTE once more “

Nice reserve liked the main pool area especially at night and the rice paddies walk seems delightful to do .

Wow. What a view. Beautiful

SPECTACULAR IMAGES!!!!!!!

Just stumbled across this video. Unbelievably, we are staying right now in the featured villa ! If anyone is watching this and considering a visit, just do it! IMHO Mandapa is the finest hotel anywhere in the world. Beautiful and serene with unrivalled service. A life affirming privilege.

Very well designed... Peacefully beautiful

Absolutely beautiful. Seems so peaceful. Glad to see you got to relax and use the spa. I always wondered if you were able to use the amenities during your stays. Thank you for showing another place I must go!!

Great video tour and great place !!

Very nice. I think the villas in Bhutan offer a very similar feeling of serenity and calm.

Thanks for posting the music, wish you would have done this, for all your other great videos. Enjoyed your trip, very beautiful resort.

My Favorite food is Nasi goreng , And Nasi goreng best taste in The world only in Mandapa - Ubud , and the Menu serve at Sawah Restaurant on Lunch Time . I can't stay there because expensive , but lucky can enjoying the good food there ..

Thank you for showing us such an incredible place.

Thanks for making this video. Open my eyes and my inspiration

This hotel is amazing and you do an excellent job presenting it. I felt so inspired by the architecture, people, culture, and food. I will have to visit this hotel when I visit Ubud.

Miss Bali island

Dès qu'on voit l'entrée et avec l'aperçu, on sait que tout va être beau et magique. Les premières images sont très émouvantes. On a vraiment l'impression d'être dans un sanctuaire. Quand on commence à s'aventurer en dehors du hall d'accueil vers la villa, ça devient mysterieux, fantastique ( 12.03 ) 15.49 : Sacrée belle ambiance ! 16.33 salle de bain très agréable aussi 20.13 C'est vraiment merveilleux Très émouvant de voir ce temple. On se dit que si on allait là-bas, on aimerait y passer du temps. 32.17 Ce pic-nique a l'air très appétissant 38.14 Super belle image. Complètement magique. Les plats du dîner, ça a l'air assez extraordinaire; le buffet du petit déjeuner aussi.

beautiful location❣

Ohhh the rain part...what a paradise.

It seems that the video was taken at rainy season, when the skies were mostly grey and gloomy, no golden sunshine, so that the beauty of nature is less than perfect

Fabolous review

Hello any news on how they are doing post COVID? Love Ubud! Miss it dearly

Beautiful resort 😊 you should try Hanging Garden and Nandini Jungle next time.

Wow. Beautiful hotel

Very nice beautiful place very clean friendly place fresh food and lots of nice green around the rooftop thanks,

Between FS Ubud and Ritz Carlton Mandapa ubud, which one would you prefer more?

magnificent video

Awesome!

very peacefull🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I know I said that I felt claustrophobic in the Bali jungle last week, but Mandapa is simply stunning. It rises above the rain forest, ancient and modern at the same time. I love seeing the rain--no rain in SF Bay Area for about 7 months, although we had 1/8 inch last week. Wherever Dr LTE goes, eggs bennie will follow. I must investigate the meaning of the sacred black and white checkerboard cloth. Bali is an exotic and wonderful place. Your villa was one of the best I've seen in your videos.

Do resorts cater to the disabled guests? I always see lots of stairs and steps from check-in spot to restaurants and rooms.

wow stunning hotel...thank u for sharing

Esta hermoso este Resort. grs por compartir

Excellent !

Good videos Amazing place I like it

Exquisite!
