Nestled in the central highlands of Bali, Four Seasons Resort Sayan, overlooks the lush greenery of terraced rice fields rising from the sacred Ayung River.

Rooms: 18 beautifully appointed suites and 28 spacious villas.

Meandering paths lead to luxurious villas, each with its own private plunge pool and secluded outdoor shower, open to the sky with a view of the tranquil river. Luxurious suites offer panoramic views over the valley and are located in the main building.

Upon arrival guests cross a wooden bridge leading to a unique architectural achievement, an elliptical lotus pond rests on the roof of the resort's three-level central building. Guests then descend through a staircase in the pond to the reception area where they enjoy stunning 180-degree views of the valley.

Four Seasons Bali at Sayan lies 35-km/22 miles north/north-east of Ngurah Rai International Airport on 17 acres of lush, green terraced rice slopes, overlooking the Ayung River. This secluded, intimate hideaway extends from the top of the rolling hillside down to the river's edge, 10 minutes from Bali's colorful artistic and cultural center and 60 minutes from airport.

Spa Villas

The three Spa Villas reflect the elegant Balinese architecture of the Resort. Natural materials combine with native designs in such blissful elements as teak wood cabinets and flooring, hand-blown glass wash basins, hand-loomed Sulawesi silk furniture coverings, customised terrazzo massage tables and thatched roofs.

Each of the Spa Villas accommodates tandem treatments for couples. For convenience, they are connected to outdoor bathing pavilions offering steam showers, while large soaking tubs with adjacent open-air showers discreetly overlook private garden courtyards. The close proximity of the fast-flowing Ayung River provides a soothing natural accompaniment to the treatments provided by the Resort's highly trained therapists.

Main Pool

Placed within the sound of the Ayung River, the large, two-level swimming pool is a cool and relaxing oasis designed to follow the river's natural contours. It is surrounded by a wooden deck furnished with comfortable chaises longues, offering breathtaking views of the river.

Children

While families are warmly welcome at Four Seasons hotels and resorts, we would like to caution families with young children that Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan is set by a swift river in a hilly section of the remote jungle. Villas also feature unattended plunge pools.
