Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve
Ultra-luxury river-valley resort, Ubud
Photos: Gusmank Wedding
Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve sits in the Ayung River valley at Kedewatan, on the edge of Ubud. The resort drops down into the gorge rather than perching above it, so a riverside ceremony puts you a few steps from the water with forested slopes on either side. It is one of the very few Ritz-Carlton Reserve properties in the world, which tells you the level of service and catering you are working with.
For weddings there is a real choice of settings on one property. The Ayung Riverside and Kubu decks suit intimate ceremonies by the water, the Temple Lawn seats up to around 100 guests beside the resort’s temple, and the rice-terrace and elevated valley-view lawns give you options for cocktails, dinner, or a smaller vow exchange. With 35 suites and 25 private pool villas, there is room for your closest guests to stay on site.
We treat Mandapa as a match for couples who want Ubud’s river-valley scenery with full luxury-resort backing rather than a raw villa. Published 2026 nightly rates for suites and pool villas start around USD 1,500 (roughly Rp 24 million) and run higher for the larger villas; wedding venue fees, catering, and styling are quoted separately, and we reconfirm every figure with the resort for your dates.

Why we love it
On the Ayung River
Mandapa sits down in the Ayung River valley in Kedewatan, not on the roadside. The riverside decks put a ceremony a few steps from the water, with the forest gorge rising on both sides.
A choice of settings on one property
You are not locked into a single lawn. There is a riverside deck, a temple lawn, a rice-terrace deck, and an elevated lawn with valley views, so an intimate ceremony and a larger dinner can each have their own spot.
Ritz-Carlton Reserve service
This is the top tier of the Ritz-Carlton portfolio, with 35 suites and 25 private pool villas. The staffing and catering are built for demanding events, which takes a lot of the guesswork out of a wedding day.
