As photo tourism gains momentum among travelers, photography focused tours are gaining popularity as well. Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Ubud, Bali invites guests to partake in their brand-new Bali Through the Lens experience:
Bali Through the Lens is a 7 hour tour designed for those who want to capture the moment in Bali’s most photogenic places, while immersing in Bali’s most iconic landmarks and rich culture, without lifting a finger.
From sunrise to sunset, a personal guide takes guests to the right place at the right time where ideal lighting, angles, and limited crowds create the perfect shot.
Guests start at the Penutian Temple to watch sunrise followed by Mount Batur Caldera, Penglipuran Village, and the Nungnung waterfall before enjoying sunset by Lake Beratan, Jatiluwih Rice Terraces and ending at the Tanah Lot Temple.
Upon return, guests can indulge in the Mandapa Spa, where traditional healing sessions, treatments, and classes allow visitors to reconnect with oneself.
Guests can also reflect on their day at the retreat’s zero-waste fine-dining restaurant Kubu, where the dishes are just a photogenic as they are delicious.
Kubu honors natural flavors from root to leaf through place-based community sourcing, allowing each dish to tell a story as guests dine in picturesque bamboo inspired cocoons.
