Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan Earns Its First Michelin Key

Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan earned its first Michelin Key in the 2025 guide, recognition for one of the most architecturally striking resorts on the island. Approached across a teak bridge into the treetops of the Ayung River valley near Ubud, the resort is famous for its lotus-pond rooftop and its immersion in the surrounding jungle.

A sustainability-led renovation with Hirsch Bedner Associates refreshed seven suites, including premier duplex and family premier categories, along with the Ayung Terrace restaurant and Jati Bar, completing in July 2026 with additions such as smart lighting and energy-efficient cooling. The resort has held Forbes Five-Star status for ten consecutive years, and Ayung Terrace's wine list earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence.

Long considered one of Bali's most spiritually resonant retreats, the resort pairs its riverside setting with wellness and cultural programming rooted in Ubud's traditions. The first Michelin Key affirms its standing among the island's very best.
