The classic Hotel Tjampuhan & Spa, built where two sacred rivers meet, has been legendary since 1928. As the first hotel in the artist colony of Ubud, this royal guest house graciously hosted celebrities and foreign painters such as Walter Spies.
Picture yourself on a long balcony, perched high over a tropical ravine. Imagine pathways clinging to a hillside where the hibiscus and frangipani reach out over statues and wood carvings to touch a gentle greeting as you pass.
Butterflies, birdsong, fragrant blossoms, colorful plumage, night songs of frogs and blinking fireflies interwoven with secluded villas and bungalows extend into a world of exuberant Balinese culture and nature.
Picture yourself thus, and you might just feel the first light brush stroke of the spirit that is Hotel Tjampuhan.
In this one hotel are captured all the images of Ubud, the cultural center of Bali.
The heart of the Hotel Tjampuhan and Spa is the former home of Walter Spies, offering comfort and seclusion with first-class facilities.
Set into the hillside on a separate terrace and overlooking a lily pond, this spacious & historic villa is an inspiration to all.
The hotel is located on a spiritually charged piece of landscape at the conjunction of two flowing rivers. A small collection of traditional styled bungalows together with gracious hospitality promises a treasured Balinese experience.
The elegance of Balinese architecture and hospitality flourish at Hotel Tjampuhan, located just west of Ubud. Here, Prince Tjokorda Gde Agung Sukawati and Walter Spies began Pita Maha in 1934, an association that brought Ubud painting and artistic talent into the forefront of world art. Spies house, the original guest house of the Ubud royal family, hosted this historic meeting and is here still, on the hotel’s grounds, overlooking the banks of the sacred Oos Campuhan river. Hotel Tjampuhan and Spa remains a source of inspired artistic activity since its founding in the heyday of the 1928’s world traveling.
Unsurprisingly, this setting also inspired Bali visionary holy man Resi Markandya to build the mother temple complex Besakih, the center or worship and ceremony for all of Bali. You can be witness to the living spirit of Balinese devotion to Gods and ancestors, symbolized in the daily offerings made of rice, fruit, flowers and incense in the resident Tjampuhan temple.
Hotel Tjampuhan & Spa offers inspiring dining alternatives to complement the visual appeal of this historic landmark in local Balinese hospitality. There are culinary delights to whet the appetite as well light refreshments for the heath conscious traveller.
Tjampuhan Spa is dedicated to the therapeutic properties of water. It is composed of several semi-open treatment pavilions at the edge of the river and an extraordinary hot/cold spring water Jacuzzi created within a mythical stone cavern.
