Location
Set into the side of the Tjampuhan valley in Bali's cultural heartland of Ubud, the Pita Maha Resort and Spa is landscaped jewel overlooking the beautiful River Oos. From the lobby and restaurant are, the natural beauty of the Ubud foothills is immediately apparent. Sweeping views of lush rice terraces and tropical woodland draw the eye along the valley of the sea, where the airport is just 45 minutes by road from this mountain retreat.

The Concept
In 1994, to commemorate the birth of this artistic force and to keep alive the original philosophy the Pita Maha Resort and Spa was created as a sister hotel to the celebrated original, opening its doors on December 1, 1995. Designed by a member of Ubud's Royal Family, a descendant of the founding Prince, the Pita Maha Resort and Spa lives and breathes as an organic Balinese Village, with 24 villas set in traditionally-styled walled compounds which provide the ultimate comfort and privacy.

Rich in history, the Tjampuhan are became the focal point of Bali's artistic community when in 1934, the Prince of Ubud, Tjokorda Gde Agung Sukawati, joined forces with the celebrated Western artists Walter Spies and Rudolf Bonner to create an artists association they named "Pita Maha". The association, whose name in English means "Great Shinning", was designed to create an artistic community , fostering and promoting the talent of local artists such as I Gusti Nyoman Lempad, Made Poleng, Gusti Ketut Kobot and Gusti Made Deblog. First dreamed up in the Tjokorda's private guest house, which later became the famous Hotel Tjampuhan, the association was directly responsible for making Ubud today's undisputed center for Balinese Art.
