Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan
A jungle sanctuary where rivers meet and spirits awaken
In the heart of Bali’s highland jungle, the Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan offers a secluded escape where lush rainforest, emerald rice terraces, and two sacred rivers converge. Whether you arrive via a dramatic treetop bridge or glide in on a private rafting journey along the Ayung River, the resort’s serene energy envelops you instantly. Here, between the spiritual town of Ubud and Bali’s revered river valleys, you can immerse yourself in ancient traditions, holistic wellness, and elevated luxury.
Location: Between sacred rivers and the cultural heart of Bali
Located just 10 minutes from Ubud, the resort sits between the Ayung River—Bali’s longest and most sacred—and the Subak River, part of the UNESCO-listed subak irrigation system. The setting invites you to discover vibrant markets, temples, and artists’ villages, or to venture further into volcanic landscapes and hidden waterfalls. It is an oasis for reflection, connection, and exploration.
Suites & Villas: Private sanctuaries in the jungle
The resort’s 42 pool villas and 18 suites combine natural materials—ikat fabrics handwoven in Bali, coconut shell, teakwood, and stone—with an earthy elegance that blends seamlessly into the surroundings. Many villas follow a unique below-ground design, with a rooftop lotus pond and meditation deck concealing the private pool, bedroom, and living area below.
Highlights include:
- Royal Villa: an expansive riverfront residence with private pool and dining pavilion
- River-View Two-Bedroom Villa: panoramic valley views and secluded gardens
- Sayan Villas: multi-level jungle hideaways with private pools and terraces
- Family Suites: perfect for multi-generational stays near Ubud
Culinary: From riverside romance to immersive cooking
Savor plant-based fine dining and Balinese ceremonial dishes at Sokasi, the resort’s riverside cooking school and Chef’s Table. Relive the golden age of travel at Jati Bar with barrel-aged cocktails infused with local woods, or enjoy refined Asian and Indonesian cuisine at Ayung Terrace, perched among the treetops. By the river, Riverside Caféoffers fresh seafood and grill classics for dinner, and light bowls and salads for lunch.

Private Rafting Discovery: From wild river to warm welcome
Experience Bali’s longest river in true Four Seasons style. Begin with a scenic 30-minute drive through rice-farming villages to the Ayung River Gorge, then paddle at a leisurely pace, guided by experts who share the river’s cultural and ecological significance. Along the way, float through jungle tunnels, spot wildlife, and pause at a holy spring for a water purification ritual. The journey ends with a riverside landing directly at the resort, where a warm welcome awaits. Private bookings only, for up to six guests.
