Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve has been recognized as The Edge List Property of the year 2026 by Forbes Travel Guide. The announcement was made during the Forbes Travel Guide Summit 2026, held on 26 February at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco that gathered luxury travel and hospitality leaders from around the world.
The Edge List highlights hotels, resorts, and cruise experiences that push the boundaries of luxury travel. Properties are evaluated based on several key principles, including innovation, service, and the ability to create meaningful guest experiences.
Located in Ubud along the sacred Ayung River, Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, has consistently maintained its reputation for exceptional hospitality and has held a five-star rating from Forbes Travel Guide for the past two consecutive years. The resort features 60 suites and villas, including a private estate, and offers personalized service through dedicated Patih butlers inspired by royal Balinese traditions.
Wellness and cultural immersion are also central to the resort experience, with more than 23 curated activities available through programs such as Disconnect to Reconnect.
“It is an honor to receive this recognition on behalf of the Ladies and Gentlemen of Mandapa, whose dedication and passion echo in every guest experience,” said Masanori Hosoya, General Manager of Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. "Ritz-Carlton Reserve is an extraordinary brand with only 9 Reserves around the world. Each resort is unique in its own, capturing the rich culture of its destination. Mandapa means temple in Sanskrit. In Balinese villages, temples are integral to the community, its people, culture, and spirit. Our guests may arrive as travelers, but they often leave with a sense of belonging to a community far away.”
