Ayung Resort Ubud
Five-star river-valley resort, Payangan near Ubud
Ayung Resort Ubud sits in Payangan, north of Ubud town, on the slopes above the Ayung River. It is a five-star resort with 53 rooms, suites, and villas, and its gardens and event spaces look out over the river valley rather than a street. The setting is jungle and water, close enough to Ubud for guests to reach easily.
For a wedding, the resort works across a range of sizes. The open amphitheatre holds around 100 guests for a seated dinner and up to 150 for cocktails, and the Kunti bamboo house gives you a covered pavilion for ceremonies or dinners. Couples who want something smaller can use the Hanoman and Brahma garden suite lawns for intimate ceremonies of around 40 guests, and the Wijaya Kusuma Restaurant handles seated dinners with valley views.
We treat Ayung as a match for couples who want a river-valley setting near Ubud with room to host a proper reception. Costs depend on the venue you choose, your guest count, and catering, and are quoted per wedding. We pull a current, itemised quote from the resort for your date so the numbers are clear before you commit.

Why we love it
Above the Ayung River
The resort sits in Payangan, north of Ubud town, on the slopes above the Ayung River. The gardens and event spaces look out over the valley and the river gorge rather than a built-up street.
Space for a full reception
The open amphitheatre holds around 100 for a seated dinner and up to 150 for cocktails, so this is a resort that can run a real reception rather than only a small ceremony.
Intimate options too
