Five-star resort marks an important milestone in Elegant Hotel Collection’s continued expansion across Asia Pacific and its commitment to representing distinctive independent luxury hotels defined by authenticity, character and sense of place.
Set just beyond the cultural heart of Ubud, Tanah Gajah is one of Bali’s most established boutique luxury resorts, featuring 24 art-filled villas spread across an enchanting six-hectare estate. Originally created as a private retreat by renowned Indonesian architect, designer and art collector Hendra Hadiprana, Tanah Gajah reflects a deeply personal vision of hospitality, where art, landscape and culture are seamlessly woven into the guest experience.
As global luxury travel continues to evolve, destinations that offer emotional connection, cultural depth and meaningful experiences are increasingly shaping traveller choice. Tanah Gajah reflects this shift naturally, offering a balance that resonates strongly with experienced luxury travellers seeking a more considered way to experience Bali.
The addition of Tanah Gajah also represents a strategic milestone for Elegant Hotel Collection, strengthening its presence in Southeast Asia and supporting growing global demand for experience-led luxury travel across the region.
