GIANYAR, balitourismnow.com – A stay at Premadewi Resort A Pramana Experience feels distinctly Balinese. The gentle rustle of leaves, the sound of flowing water, morning dew beneath the trees, and the earthy scent of wet soil and tropical foliage create a sense of calm and closeness to nature.
Natural materials such as local stone, timber, and bamboo further strengthen the connection with Bali’s traditional architecture while creating a warm, contemporary retreat.
Located on Jalan Raya Pengosekan No. 2013 in Lodtunduh, Ubud, Gianyar, approximately 2.1 kilometers south of the Monkey Forest, Premadewi Resort officially began its soft opening on August 10, 2026.
The opening ceremony was marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by owner Ni Nyoman Suryani, accompanied by her two daughters and son, followed by the release of white doves and fish into the resort’s pond. The event was also attended by executives from Pramana Experience, a Bali-based hospitality management company known for its distinctive collection of hotels, resorts, and villas across Indonesia.
From the moment guests enter, the atmosphere of Ubud unfolds in an intimate setting. Tropical gardens, water features, and local plants surround the property, while a statue of Dewi Danu flowing with water adds a distinctly Balinese spiritual touch. From the tiered swimming pools, guests can enjoy views of Ubud’s lush rural landscape.
The “Beauty of Ubud”
Premadewi Resort is built around a simple belief: genuine hospitality begins with pure love and heartfelt care. Under the tagline “Beauty of Ubud,” the resort invites guests to experience Ubud beyond its natural beauty through meaningful encounters with culture, spirituality, wellness, personal connection, and the warmth of Balinese hospitality.
Pramana Experience CEO I Wayan Suarsa explains that the name Premadewi combines two meaningful words. Prema represents pure and sincere love, while Dewi reflects feminine grace, compassion, beauty, and nurturing energy.
“Together, they form the philosophy of Premadewi as a sanctuary where every guest can feel emotionally welcomed, valued, and genuinely comfortable,” he said.
This philosophy is reflected in the resort’s intimate retreat concept, where luxury is expressed not simply through facilities, but through thoughtful details, intuitive service, and personalized experiences.
“Through the tagline ‘Beauty of Ubud,’ our concept goes beyond showcasing the natural beauty of Ubud. We want guests to discover another side of Ubud through more personal and meaningful experiences,” Suarsa added.
An Intimate Stay
Premadewi offers 10 Prema Suites and eight One Bedroom Wooden Pool Villas, creating the atmosphere of a boutique retreat designed for privacy and personalized stays.
Each Prema Suite measures approximately 42 square meters and draws inspiration from the warmth of a traditional Balinese home, combining natural materials, warm textures, local details, and natural light.
For greater privacy, the eight Wooden Pool Villas offer approximately 100 square meters of space, complete with a spacious living area, private terrace, tropical garden, and private swimming pool. They are particularly suited to couples, honeymooners, and travelers seeking a peaceful escape.
Dining and Wellness
Dining at Premadewi centers on Anaman Restaurant, an open-air venue overlooking the resort’s tropical gardens. Located on the second floor, the restaurant combines bamboo-inspired Balinese design with a relaxed atmosphere.
Its menu features Indonesian, Asian, and Western cuisine, with an emphasis on fresh local ingredients. Guests can enjoy everything from leisurely breakfasts and casual lunches to intimate candlelit dinners.
Wellness is another essential part of the experience. Siram Spa offers treatments inspired by Balinese healing traditions, natural ingredients, and mindful self-care. The spa features two private treatment rooms designed to help guests relax, restore, and reconnect with themselves.
The resort also offers an open-air Yoga Shala surrounded by tropical gardens, a Fitness Center, and an infinity pool overlooking the lush Ubud landscape.
Five Meaningful Journeys
Premadewi’s experiential hospitality is expressed through five signature journeys, which will be introduced gradually during the soft-opening period.
Prema Yatra – The Journey of Love celebrates romance through experiences such as flower baths, floating breakfasts, candlelit dinners, proposals, and Balinese wedding blessings.
Rasa Yatra – The Journey of Emotion explores the connection between food and emotion through signature dining, afternoon tea, and sunset cocktails.
Banjar Yatra – The Journey of Culture introduces guests to Balinese traditions through activities such as making canang sari, Balinese dance classes, cooking experiences, and temple visits.
Atma Yatra – The Journey of the Soul focuses on spirituality through Balinese blessings, melukat water purification, sunrise yoga, and meditation.
Meanwhile, Shanti Yatra – The Journey of Healing centers on wellness through Balinese spa treatments, herbal healing rituals, and sound healing.
Another signature experience is the Sandikala Ritual, held around sunset and inspired by the sacred transition between day and night in Balinese philosophy. Featuring soft bell sounds, incense, herbal drinks, and moments of quiet reflection, the ritual encourages guests to pause and appreciate the changing rhythm of the day.
More Than a Place to Stay
With its intimate setting, Premadewi is designed for honeymooners, couples seeking privacy, wellness travelers, solo travelers, and small groups. The resort can also accommodate intimate weddings, proposals, anniversaries, Balinese blessing ceremonies, wellness retreats, and restorative stays.
At Premadewi, luxury is measured not only by what guests see, but by how they feel—welcomed, valued, cared for, and connected.
Its hospitality is rooted in Balinese warmth and the philosophy of yadnya, emphasizing sincere service, respect, and genuine care. This is aligned with Pramana Experience’s “Genuine to the World” philosophy, which places local culture and meaningful guest experiences at the heart of hospitality.
A Family Journey
Behind Premadewi is a family story built over many years. Ni Nyoman Suryani says the business grew gradually from a modest beginning into a hospitality venture in Ubud. Following the death of her husband, the development was continued with the support of her children, in-laws, and grandchildren.
“From very limited beginnings, the development was eventually able to continue until it reached its present form,” Suryani said.
She also emphasized the important role of the surrounding community in the family’s journey, with the resort seeking to give back through local involvement and contributions to the social environment.
Ultimately, Premadewi Resort offers a slower, more intimate way to experience Ubud. Surrounded by flowing water, tropical greenery, natural architecture, and the warmth of Balinese hospitality, “Beauty of Ubud” becomes more than a tagline—it becomes an experience to be felt from the moment guests arrive.
