We know why you came.
It is curved, double-tiered, suspended above the rainforest and has probably been sitting somewhere in your saved folder since approximately 2017.
The infinity pool at Hanging Gardens of Bali needs very little introduction.
Designed to follow the contours of the steep Ayung River Valley, its two levels appear to float above the jungle, with water, rainforest and sky dissolving into one another.
It is magnificent.
Swim in it.
Photograph it.
Spend an unreasonable amount of time finding the exact angle where the water disappears into the valley.
And then look around.
Because one of the loveliest surprises about staying at Hanging Gardens of Bali in Ubud is discovering that its most famous experience is only the beginning.
Dinner can take place on a candlelit platform seemingly floating over that very pool. Your private villa pool can wake up covered in thousands of tropical petals. A Balinese boat can arrive carrying dinner. Spa rituals unfold above the sacred Ayung River. High tea is served beneath the jungle canopy. And, should even arranging any of this sound exhausting, there is someone who can do that for you too.
Here are 10 experiences at Hanging Gardens of Bali worth getting out of the infinity pool for.

1. Dine on the Infinity Pool After Everyone Else Has Gone
You spent the afternoon swimming in it.
Now imagine returning after twilight to find it transformed.
For Romance Under the Stars, hundreds of candles flicker around Hanging Gardens of Bali's iconic twin-tiered infinity pool while, at its centre, a private bale appears to float over the water.
And it is waiting for two.
The rainforest that dominated the view by day slowly disappears into darkness. Candlelight reflects across the water. Tropical flowers scent the warm evening air.
Then dinner begins.
A bespoke multi-course menu is prepared around your tastes, accompanied by discreet service that allows the evening to move at precisely the pace you want it to.
No neighbouring tables.
No one waiting for your reservation to finish.
Just dinner, candlelight, water and the night sky above the Ayung Valley.
There are romantic dinners.
And then there is having one of Bali's most recognisable infinity pools effectively become your dining room for the evening.
We know which one we'd choose.

2. Have Dinner Delivered by Boat - to Your Swimming Pool
We need to retire the idea that floating breakfast is the final frontier of poolside dining.
Hanging Gardens has moved on.
A Floating Feast takes place within the privacy of your own villa and begins with a beautifully adorned traditional Balinese boat floating gently into your infinity pool.
On it?
Dinner.
The feast is inspired by the traditions and flavours of Javanese royal dining, turning the experience into something far more interesting than a photogenic tray of food balanced on water.
You step into your heated pool.
The boat floats beside you.
And dinner unfolds at your own pace while the Ayung Valley surrounds the villa.
It is private.
Slightly extravagant.
Very beautiful.
And exactly the sort of behaviour we encourage while staying in a luxury pool villa in Ubud.
Besides, once your dinner has arrived by boat, room service may never feel quite the same again.

3. Return to Your Villa and Discover Your Pool Has Bloomed
This one requires a little theatre.
You leave the villa.
You go about your day.
You come back.
And the swimming pool you left behind has disappeared beneath flowers.
For Romance in Bloom, the team at Hanging Gardens of Bali transforms your private infinity pool into a floating tropical garden.
Frangipani and marigold petals are arranged by hand across the water in intricate patterns, with designs that can include romantic hearts and personalised initials.
Against the deep green of the Ayung Valley, the effect is rather extraordinary.
It is particularly beautiful for proposals, anniversaries and honeymoons.
Although we would like to make a case for a fourth category:
Tuesday.
Not every pool filled with flowers needs an administrative reason.
Sometimes you are simply in Bali and your private infinity pool deserves to bloom.

4. Let the Ayung River Into the Treatment Room
There are spas with rainforest soundtracks.
And then there are spas where the rainforest is making the soundtrack itself.
Spa by the River sits in a secluded sanctuary above the sacred Ayung River, beneath the jungle canopy.
Treatments take place within private, open-air surroundings where flowing water, birdsong and tropical forest become part of the ritual.
The experience is rooted in Bali's relationship with Tirta - sacred water associated with purification and renewal - alongside Balinese healing traditions and locally inspired ingredients.
That context matters.
You are not having a generic massage that happens to be in Bali.
The river beneath you has spiritual significance within Balinese culture.
The landscape surrounding you shapes the treatment.
The air is real.
The birds are real.
The water is most definitely real.
Selected treatments can also be experienced within the privacy of your own villa or overlooking the resort's famous infinity pool.
But there is something particularly special about following the jungle down towards the Ayung and letting the river take over for an hour or two.
Your playlist could never.

5. Experience Bali's Sacred Side
Luxury in Bali becomes considerably more interesting when you allow the island itself into the experience.
Hanging Gardens of Bali offers Sacred Bali & Temple Rituals, creating an opportunity to encounter the spiritual traditions that remain deeply woven into Balinese life.
The resort has a particularly extraordinary relationship with Dalem Segara Temple, set within the jungle across the Ayung River gorge.
For one of Hanging Gardens' most intimate experiences, the Secret Romantic Dinner, an evening at the temple begins not with Champagne, but with a traditional Balinese blessing conducted by a local Mangku.
The ritual creates a moment of purification and connection before the evening moves into a soothing foot reflexology treatment.
Then the Champagne appears.
We appreciate the sequencing.
As darkness settles over the jungle, a private candlelit dinner follows among flowers and the delicate sounds of traditional rindik music.
For the evening, the temple becomes an extraordinarily intimate sanctuary.
This is one of those experiences that explains why luxury travel in Bali can feel so different from luxury travel almost anywhere else.
The setting may be beautiful.
But the culture gives it meaning.

6. Take High Tea Into the Jungle
High tea has historically been very well behaved.
China cups.
Little sandwiches.
A respectable drawing room.
Hanging Gardens of Bali has taken it into the rainforest.
Afternoon High Tea in the Heart of the Jungle is served beneath tropical trees with birdsong replacing the polite murmur of a hotel lobby.
There are chocolate éclairs.
Rich brownies.
Fruit tartlets.
Fragrant teas.
And, naturally, scones with cream and jam, because some traditions deserve to survive even when transported into an Ubud jungle.
There is something wonderfully unexpected about it.
The food is familiar.
The setting is anything but.
You are eating a scone beneath tropical foliage in Bali while the jungle carries on around you.
Which is exactly the sort of cultural crossover we can get behind.
High tea suddenly feels a little less proper.
And considerably more fun.

7. Discover What Bali Tastes Like Before It Reaches the Plate
One of the most beautiful things about Hanging Gardens of Bali is that the landscape isn't simply there to be admired.
Parts of it end up on the table.
The resort's Secrets of the Balinese Kitchen experience takes guests into Hanging Gardens' own fragrant herb and vegetable gardens, where ingredients used throughout Balinese cooking grow beneath the tropical canopy.
Lemongrass.
Turmeric.
Ginger.
Galangal.
Kaffir lime.
Chilli.
Tropical greens.
With the resort's chefs, you begin to understand how those ingredients form the architecture of Balinese flavour.
Then comes the ulekan, the traditional Indonesian mortar and pestle.
This is where things become serious.
You'll learn how to create bumbu Bali, or base gede, the deeply aromatic spice paste at the foundation of many Balinese dishes, alongside sambal, peanut sauce, traditional rice preparation and a menu of classic recipes.
There is chopping.
Grinding.
Possibly some mild disagreement with a chilli.
And eventually, lunch.
Made by you.
Suddenly the extraordinary flavours you've been eating throughout Bali begin to make sense.
Whether you will successfully recreate them at home is between you and your ulekan.

8. Have Dinner Somewhere You're Usually Told Not to Enter
There is something delicious about being invited somewhere normally private.
Dalem Segara Temple is already extraordinary by daylight.
After dark, for Hanging Gardens' private dining experience, it becomes something else entirely.
The Secret Romantic Dinner is reserved for two, with the ancient temple surrounded by the jungle as the evening unfolds.
After the traditional blessing and reflexology ritual, Champagne is poured as sunset disappears.
Flowers frame the table.
Candles illuminate the temple.
Traditional rindik music moves softly through the evening.
And dinner is served.
There are many places in Bali where one can book a romantic restaurant.
This isn't really that.
It is the privilege of being allowed to experience a sacred setting in an intimate and carefully considered way, with Balinese ritual forming part of the evening rather than being used merely as decoration.
It is quiet.
Private.
Almost cinematic.
And deeply connected to where you are.

9. Turn Your Villa Into the Restaurant
There is a particular moment on holiday when getting dressed and going somewhere else begins to feel wildly unnecessary.
Hanging Gardens understands.
Its Romantic In-Villa Dining experience turns your private villa into the restaurant instead.
Candlelight.
Flower petals.
A private table arranged within your villa or on the deck.
Dinner for two.
And, crucially, nowhere else to be afterwards.
This is where having a private infinity pool villa becomes especially useful.
Dinner doesn't end because the restaurant is closing.
You are already home.
Have another glass.
Move outside.
Stay by the pool.
Let the evening continue.
There is a particular kind of luxury in removing the transition between having a beautiful dinner and being exactly where you want to be afterwards.
No car.
No lobby.
No shoes becoming increasingly questionable by 10pm.
Just you, the villa and the jungle.

10. Acquire the Greatest Luxury of All: Someone Else Has Handled It
Some luxury experiences photograph beautifully.
This one simply makes everything else better.
Hanging Gardens of Bali offers a Personal Dedicated VIP Butler, available by advance reservation and subject to availability, from 7am until 11pm.
And the appeal can be summarised in four very beautiful words:
You don't organise it.
Morning coffee?
Handled.
A bath?
Drawn.
Transportation?
Arranged.
Entertainment?
Organised.
Something you have not yet thought of but will inevitably decide you need later?
That is rather the point.
Your butler acts as a personal concierge throughout the stay, quietly removing the small decisions and logistics that somehow manage to follow us even on holiday.
And perhaps this is one of the clearest differences between a beautiful hotel and true luxury hospitality.
It is not simply having access to extraordinary things.
It is never needing to concern yourself with how they happen.
You ask.
Then return to the important business of being on holiday.

The Infinity Pool Was Only the Introduction
This is the part nobody really tells you about Hanging Gardens of Bali.
The photograph that gets you here isn't necessarily the experience you'll remember most.
Perhaps it will be the evening when hundreds of candles reflected across that famous pool and, for a few hours, it seemed to belong only to you.
Perhaps it will be stepping onto your villa terrace and discovering your private pool covered in flowers.
Perhaps dinner will arrive by boat.
Perhaps you'll hear the Ayung River beneath you during a spa ritual and realise you haven't looked at your phone for two hours.
Perhaps you'll grind turmeric and galangal into bumbu and finally understand why Balinese food tastes the way it does.
Perhaps it will be Champagne after a blessing at Dalem Segara Temple.
Or tea and scones somewhere they have absolutely no business being:
Deep in the Balinese jungle.
That is the pleasure of staying somewhere with a world of its own.
The famous infinity pool may be what first made Hanging Gardens of Bali an icon.
But once you arrive, the better question is not:
Have you seen the pool?
It is:
What haven't you discovered yet?
