Bali, the island of gods, is renowned for its stunning beaches and vibrant culture. But in a sea of resorts, what can possibly set a brand new establishment apart? Enter the Anantara Ubud Bali Resort, a luxurious haven nestled in the lush green heart of Ubud. We caught up with the resort’s General Manager, Christian Gerart, who shared his vision on making this new destination shine among Bali's already dazzling options.

According to Gerart, the Anantara Ubud Bali Resort isn't just about opulence; it offers an authentic Balinese experience infused with contemporary comforts. With its exquisite architecture and breathtaking views of rice paddies and infinity pool vistas, the resort embraces the essence of its surroundings. Add to that a generous sprinkle of local culture through activities like traditional dance performances and cooking classes, and you have a dreamy getaway for every traveler.

But that’s not all Bali has to offer! The island is also gearing up for transformative changes, with a bold initiative to bolster its infrastructure amidst an ever-growing influx of tourists. This month marks the groundbreaking of a new US$3 billion eco-friendly airport, designed to not only accommodate more visitors but to do so in a way that respects Bali's natural beauty. Coupled with a light rail transit (LRT) system, this forward-thinking project aims to tackle the pressing issue of overtourism while enhancing accessibility to the island's hidden gems.

In the face of rising tourism and environmental challenges, both Anantara Ubud and the new airport plans epitomize a fresh vision for Balinese hospitality and transport. For vacationers, this translates into not just a luxurious stay but a chance to immerse themselves in sustainable tourism while enjoying the stunning island panorama.

Did you know that Ubud is considered the cultural heart of Bali? Known for its thriving arts scene, you can find everything from intricate wood carvings to beautiful textiles here. Moreover, the new airport aims to open up even more of Bali to visitors, with plans for it to be one of the most environmentally-conscious transport hubs in the world!
