Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan
Ultra-luxury river-valley resort, Sayan near Ubud
Photos: Gusmank Wedding Photography
Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan sits in the Ayung River valley near Ubud, in the cultural highlands rather than on the coast. You arrive across a teak footbridge that lands you on the resort’s roof, where a circular lotus pond floats above the treetops. That pond is the signature ceremony spot, and the bridge behind it doubles as the aisle, with the river gorge and forest on every side.
The resort has 60 suites and villas, many built below ground level with rooftop entrances so each one keeps its privacy and its view over the jungle. Weddings here run intimate. The lotus pond is at its best for a ceremony of around 30 guests, while larger celebrations spread across the riverside pool terrace and the open-air Ayung Terrace, where cocktails and a Balinese performance can close the night.
We treat Four Seasons Sayan as a match for couples who want a small guest list and a very high standard rather than a large banquet. It is ultra-luxury, with suite rates commonly starting around USD 900 a night, and weddings are quoted per event. We reconfirm every figure and the current venue options with the resort for your date.

Why we love it
The rooftop lotus pond
The signature ceremony spot is a circular infinity-edge pond full of lily pads and lotus flowers, set on the resort's rooftop above the valley. You reach it across a teak suspension bridge that doubles as the aisle, with the Ayung River gorge and forest highlands on every side.
Built for a small, exceptional wedding
The lotus pond suits an intimate ceremony of around 30, and the resort holds larger combined weddings up to about 150 across its venues. This is a place for a small guest list and a very high bar rather than a big banquet.
A private river-valley resort
The 60 suites and villas sit in the Ayung River valley near Ubud, with below-ground villa design and rooftop entrances that keep each one secluded. The setting is jungle and river rather than beach, which is the point of marrying in the Ubud highlands.
