Minor International, in partnership with PT Wijaya Karya Realty (WIKA Realty), has announced its latest luxury residential development: Anantara Residences Ubud Bali. Launching October 2026 this prestigious collection of Anantara-branded villas offers a rare opportunity for investors and owners to secure an exclusive foothold in Bali’s most resilient and sought-after real estate market.
Recently recognised with top honours – including Best Housing Development (Indonesia) and Best Luxury Housing Development (Bali) – the 15 residences are designed specifically for owners and long-term tenants, representing a unique investment proposition for those seeking sustainable, high-end living in the lush uplands of Bali’s cultural capital. Just 35 minutes from Ubud’s vibrant markets, temples, world-class dining and art scene – and two hours from Denpasar International Airport – residents enjoy tranquillity without compromising connectivity.
Anantara Residences Ubud Bali is set in Ubud’s northern enclave of Payangan, where verdant rainforest meets panoramic views of Mount Agung, offering the perfect harmony of modern luxury and authentic Balinese heritage. Developed by Minor International – the name behind the HBO-famous Phuket residence featured in “The White Lotus” season 3 – the new project inherits a cinematic cachet that complements its already compelling credentials.
Ownership includes privileged access to the five-star amenities and personalised service of the adjacent Anantara Ubud Bali Resort, recognised in Robb Report Hong Kong’s Best of the Best 2026 luxury awards and Travel + Leisure’s prestigious “It List” of 100 Best New Hotels of the Year for 2025, delivering a seamless lifestyle enriched by experiential hospitality.
Design that Breathes Local Soul
Designed by acclaimed architecture firm Aboday and Malaysia-based interior specialists EDC International, the villas are shaped by both the landscape and Bali’s cultural lineage. The design draws from vernacular architecture rooted in Hindu and Javanese traditions, reinterpreted into a refined, contemporary aesthetic.
Set in a secluded river valley surrounded by rainforest, the villas use natural materials and sustainable techniques to mirror the contours and colours of Ubud’s hillside villages. The result is a luxurious sanctuary grounded in cultural authenticity and environmental harmony.
Villas Crafted for Privacy and Prestige
One-Bedroom Pool Villas (108 sqm) are raised on stilts along a serene riverbank, offering total seclusion. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood interiors with natural light and open onto a private infinity pool with panoramic views of the forest canopy. Two-Bedroom Pool Villas (164 sqm) are similarly elevated above the valley, with expansive indoor-outdoor layouts ideal for families or entertaining. Each residence features two en-suite bedrooms, indigenous design accents and an open-plan living space flowing into a jungle-framed infinity pool.
Exclusive Amenities for Owners and Investors
With more than 25 years of expertise in branded residential development, Minor International offers a seamless investment experience. Qualified owners may choose to join the resort-managed rental programme, benefiting from global distribution, dedicated revenue optimisation, comprehensive property management and 24-hour guest services provided by Minor Hotels. Designed to deliver a hands-off investment experience, the programme allows owners to generate rental income while maintaining the quality and appeal of their residence.

With access to Anantara’s facilities and Ubud’s spiritual energy, the development appeals not only to investors but also to wellness seekers and culture aficionados who want to live, not just visit, Bali.”
