Luxury estate resort on the rice fields, Ubud
Photos: Tanah Gajah, a Resort by Hadiprana
Tanah Gajah sits on the edge of Ubud in Tengkulak Kaja, near the Goa Gajah temple, on grounds that were once the private estate of Indonesian designer Hendra Hadiprana. It still feels like a home rather than a hotel: around 20 villas and suites are spread across the gardens, the founder’s art collection runs through the buildings, and the lawns and lotus ponds open straight onto working rice fields.
For a wedding, that layout gives you room to move. Ceremonies sit on the open lawns against the rice terraces, cocktails work among the ponds and gardens, and the semi open-air restaurant takes seated dinners for the wedding party. Because the estate is compact and private, the day happens across the grounds without other guests crowding the setting.
We treat Tanah Gajah as a match for couples who want an Ubud wedding with green all around and the feel of a private estate, close enough to central Ubud to be easy for guests. Wedding costs depend on the space, 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
A private estate, not a hotel block
Tanah Gajah was built as the private home of Indonesian designer Hendra Hadiprana, and it still reads that way: around 20 villas and suites spread across the grounds, with the founder's art collection through the buildings and gardens. You get an estate rather than a tower of rooms.
Rice fields on the doorstep
The resort sits on the edge of Ubud in Tengkulak Kaja, with its lawns and lotus ponds opening straight onto working rice fields. Ceremonies happen against green terraces rather than a built-up backdrop, a few minutes from central Ubud.
Room to hold the whole party
With about 20 villas and suites on site, most of the wedding party can stay on the estate, and the lawns, ponds, and semi open-air restaurant give you separate spaces for the ceremony, cocktails, and dinner without leaving the grounds.
