Nandini Jungle Resort & Spa Bali
Luxury jungle resort, Payangan near Ubud
Nandini Jungle Resort & Spa, now operating as Nandini Jungle by Hanging Gardens, sits on the slopes of the Ayung River valley in Payangan, north of Ubud. It is a luxury jungle resort with 34 villas and villa suites, surrounded by rainforest, with the river and the forest as the backdrop rather than a lawn or a beach.
For a wedding, the resort hosts intimate ceremonies and jungle-view events rather than large receptions. The settings are the rainforest and valley-facing spaces on the grounds, with jungle-view dining for small gatherings, which suits elopements and small weddings where the forest carries the day. With villas on the same property, a small party can stay on site.
We treat Nandini as a match for couples who want a jungle ceremony near Ubud, deep in the rainforest and away from the crowds. Costs depend on the setting, 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.
