About the venue

The largest wedding you can stage on the Ayung River without leaving the luxury tier.

Mandapa sits at Kedewatan, north of Ubud, on a bend of the river, with 60 suites and villas, a working rice paddy that has its own farmer, and a set of lawns and pavilions that scale from an elopement to a party of 150.

The Temple Lawn is the main event space, sitting above the river with the gorge as the backdrop.

Riverside pavilions handle 20 to 60 for a smaller ceremony, the Rice Terrace lawn does cocktails among the paddy, and Kubu, the riverside restaurant of individual bamboo pods, gives you a dinner venue nobody has seen before.

  • Temple Lawn above the Ayung River, the main ceremony and dinner space
  • Riverside pavilions for ceremonies of 20 to 60
  • Kubu: dinner in individual bamboo pods beside the river

Questions about the venue

Where a number is our estimate, we say so.

How many guests does the Temple Lawn hold?
Planner listings disagree. Several put the Temple Lawn at up to 100 guests, while one quotes a rate for up to 150. Riverside pavilions are quoted at 20 to 60 and the larger lawns and villa terraces at 80 to 120. Confirm the number for your specific date.
What does a Temple Lawn wedding cost?
A Bali planner listing quotes the Temple Lawn at IDR 120,000,000 plus plus for up to 150 guests, with additional guests at IDR 423,500 plus plus each, subject to 21 percent tax and service. That is planner-reported, not published by the resort, so reconfirm it.
Can our guests stay at Mandapa?
Partly. There are 60 suites and villas, so a party of 150 will not fit. The wedding party stays on site and the rest of the list takes rooms along the Kedewatan and Sayan ridge, five to fifteen minutes away, with shuttles for each event.
What is Kubu?
Mandapa’s riverside restaurant, laid out as a row of individual bamboo pods on the bank of the Ayung, each seating one table. It works for a rehearsal dinner or a small reception and is the most distinctive dining space of any Ubud resort.
How far is Mandapa from the airport?
Ngurah Rai International (DPS) is about 90 minutes south, roughly 42 km through Denpasar. Ubud town is 10 to 15 minutes southeast. Give guests an arrival night before the first event; nobody should land and go straight into a welcome dinner.
Can we hold a legal ceremony in Bali?
Most international couples hold a symbolic ceremony at the resort and complete the legal marriage at home. Indonesian legal marriage requires a Certificate of No Impediment from your embassy, a religious ceremony, and registration at the Kantor Catatan Sipil.
