Dining and Spa at Tanah Gajah
Tempayan Restaurant with a view.
The resort is home to Tempayan, which sits under an open-air, traditional Balinese thatched roof looking onto the sweeping patchwork rice paddies. Typical Balinese ingredients are sourced from local farmers, while Western and Asian selections on the menu are inspired from Executive Chef Dean Nor’s 17 years in Singapore.
The Panen Padi Lounge, once the private residence of the Hadipranas, serves an elevated afternoon tea with panoramic views of the gardens and tranquil swan pond. If you look up, you’ll see the ceiling is embellished with a mural that narrates the Hadiprana family’s journey and showcases their vision for creating the haven.
