Anantara Ubud Bali Resort, recently recognised on the Travel + Leisure It List 2025 and Condé Nast Traveller Hot List 2025, unveils its latest package, 'A Local Immersion', a minimum three-night stay offering discerning travellers a deeper, more meaningful connection with Bali by exploring the Indonesian island through nature, culture, and sensory indulgence.

Central to the journey is exploring Bali's lesser-known wonders through a guided outdoor adventure. Guests may embark on the Alas Taro Exploration, a trip through Bali's sacred forests and rice paddies. Led by the resort's resident naturalist, the experience begins with a Jeep ride through quiet villages and emerald-green fields, where travellers are introduced to ancient farming techniques and the island's spiritual beliefs. The journey culminates in a forest walk near Taro village, offering a rare glimpse into Balinese culture and ecology.

Alternatively, the Secret Waterfall Trek leads guests off the beaten path to a hidden cascade known only to locals. After a short Jeep ride, the adventure continues on foot along a riverbank trail, with your guide pointing out medicinal plants and elusive wildlife. Within half an hour, the forest reveals an untouched, pristine waterfall.

At the resort, guests can immerse themselves in one of two in-house experiences. In the Gebogan Offering Workshop, travellers learn the sacred art of floral offerings, a colourful and fragrant expression of gratitude deeply woven into daily Balinese life. For those more inclined towards taste, the Balinese Wine Tasting presents a chance to discover the island's locally produced wines. Guided by a knowledgeable sommelier, the tasting showcases regional varieties and the unique terroir of Bali.

Guests will also enjoy daily breakfast at Kirana, the resort's all-day dining outlet, which offers a spread of international and Indonesian specialties, and leisurely afternoon teas featuring fine brews and locally inspired treats.

More to discover: Moments of wellness and exploration

Between curated activities, guests can unwind at the resort's two jungle-fringed infinity pools, one reserved for adults seeking tranquillity and the other for family enjoyment. Daily resort activities, including morning yoga and wellness rituals, provide further opportunities for mindfulness and rejuvenation. The award-winning Anantara Spa offers locally inspired treatments for further restoration, such as the Siraman Journey, Royal Javanese Lulur Ritual, and Payangan Serenity. 

The resort's surrounding region has countless experiences that continue guests' spiritual and cultural discovery. Guests may choose to venture to sacred purification ceremonies at Mengening Temple or Tirta Empul, encounter playful residents at the Sacred Monkey Forest, marvel at the iconic Tegallalang Rice Terraces, or browse handcrafted wares and local art in Ubud's bustling town centre.

The 'A Local Immersion' package rates start at USD 573++ per room per night. For more information and to book the package, visit Anantara Ubud Bali Resort's website at https://www.anantara.com/en/ubud-bali/offers/a-local-immersion.
