Overlooking the working rice paddies of Ubud's verdant valleys, boutique retreat Amandari thinks of itself as a proper village, with an important role to play in the wider community. Local people use the resort’s grounds to go about their daily lives, and guests are encouraged to leave their sunloungers to meet their Balinese hosts. There’s plenty of lounging to be done here, too, though. Relax beneath swaying palms by the side of an emerald-green pool, or finish that novel in the sumptuous surroundings of your thatch-roofed suite.
