Expert Review
Origins
The Kayon Resort is the oldest and indeed the original 'Kayon' of Bali, despite two more properties now sharing its name and theme. The owner named the hotel The Kayon (meaning tree of life, a term holding deep cultural and religious significance in Balinese Hinduism) after noticing its land plot mirrored exactly with this significant Hindu shape uncannily. Now as your eyes wonder during your stay you will notice countless echoes of this form, from the bathtubs, pools, bar, restaurant, to pill carvings - the tree-of-life Kayon shape is found throughout. He wanted his guests to live the priveleged and care-free life of Kumbhakarna, a powerful rakshasa and younger brother of Ravana from the Hindu epic Ramayana.
The Review
When you hear people talk of Ubud and its uniquely special ways, this is what they mean. Unlike many spots in the now world-famous Ubud, you won’t be overlooked or have the rich green views spoiled by neighbouring buildings. The nook in the Petanu River valley that The Kayon sits is pristine and undeveloped, meaning that each room balcony (or bathtub!) view of the waterfall and valley is utterly unfettered.
With the zing of a ginger, honey and lemon welcome drink and rice on your forehead, you descend down from the warm smiles and hands to heart of the reception. On either side are intricately-carved figures set into the stone walls telling the story of Ramayana. This Hindu theme along with the tree of life shape runs through every detail of the Kayon’s design. From finely stitched golden motifs on the bed covers to the warm lamp shade and art, this dramatic tale is layered into the experience.
