Situated around a 25-minute drive from Ubud and surrounded by verdant rainforest, Hoshinoya Bali’s design aesthetic is dominated by water. Not only does the resort sit on the banks of the sacred Pakersian River, it also features three canal-like swimming pools, which branch off to form smaller semi-private pools at each of the luxe villas. These canals pay homage to subak, the island’s age-old irrigation system that has been afforded Unesco World Heritage status.
