Hoshino Resorts Bali Sanctuary! Hoshinoya: A 70-meter canal pool temple floating in the jungle.

Hoshinoya, the first overseas resort of Japan's top-tier Hoshino Resorts brand, is nestled along the sacred Pakerisan River in Ubud. Surrounded by tropical rainforest, the resort features 30 villas, each sharing a stunning 70-meter-long canal-style pool with nine other villas. Guests can step out of their rooms and glide directly into the serene waters, creating the illusion of floating in a jungle river. The iconic "Gazebo" sky pavilion, suspended above the valley, offers a unique setting for afternoon tea or starlit dinners. The villas are adorned with traditional Ubud wood carvings and "Alang-Alang" thatched roofs, blending Japanese aesthetics with Balinese soul. Guests are encouraged to experience the valley-view spa, accessible via a private cable car, and conclude their treatment with a petal bath. The resort is a secluded luxury haven, just a 90-minute drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport. 1. Hidden Pool Shortcut: The 70-meter canal pool connects the entire resort, allowing guests to swim directly from their rooms to the restaurant, library, or even the spa entrance. 2. Gazebo "Secret Breakfast": Reserve the floating breakfast at the sky pavilion for a more breathtaking photo opportunity than in-room dining (limited to three groups daily). 3. Complimentary Afternoon Tea: Enjoy local snacks and specialty teas at the library from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM—don’t miss it! 4. "Sacred River" Tour: Join the daily morning guided tour led by the butler to bathe and pray at the Pakerisan River. Sarongs are required (available for free at the front desk). 5. Spa Cable Car Secret: The valley-view spa is accessible via a private cable car. Sunset sessions are recommended for a golden rainforest view. 6. Hidden Room Features: Behind wooden sliding doors, discover a mini kitchen and coffee machine. Drawers reveal yoga mats and mosquito repellents. 7. Night Cycling Adventure: Rent vintage bicycles for free and ride to the rice fields after dark. Fireflies outshine the stars. 8. "Nonexistent Menu": The restaurant can customize traditional Balinese dishes like "Babi Guling" roast pig. Reservations must be made one day in advance.
