The hotel is located just 20 minutes north from the islands cultural and artistic centre of Ubud and 75 minutes north of Ngurah Rai Airport in the historic village of Taro. Guests will wake up to the sight and sound of a herd of elephants meandering to the lake for their morning bathing ritual whilst they enjoy a gourmet breakfast from the Mammoths Head Bar terrace overlooking 3. 5 hectares of pristine tropical parklands and unspoiled national forest.
