Nestled on elevated grounds of the Tanah Gajah estate, Panen Padi lounge is the latest culinary destination at Tanah Gajah Ubud offering exclusive access for resort guests to enjoy their daily afternoon tea selections. Surrounded by sweeping views of the seemingly endless rice paddy fields and the tranquil swan pond, Panen Padi lounge certainly ensures an elevated afternoon tea experience like no other.


 
Panen Padi lounge is in a Balinese building that was once the heart of Hendra Hadiprana’s private estate. The noted Indonesian architect, who fashioned the Balinese resort as a family retreat in the late 1980s, used the building, then known as Pondok Margin, as his place of residence when visiting the vast estate. The abode was left unused and in its original state until refurbished and reopened as a tribute to the late founder.


 
Anchored between the kind of lush rice paddies Ubud is known for and a serene swan pond, Huiyam, as the building is now called, is one of the property’s most scenic locations. The name Huiyam was a dedication to Hendra’s father and father-in-law, Hui and Yam.


 
Hotel guests get exclusive access to the founder’s story, during their visit to Panen Padi lounge. A passionate art lover, Hendra’s own life story has been created into artwork and adorns the restaurant’s ceiling. The piece takes visitors on a journey from youth to his golden years, with imagery of Bali, the property, and his time in the Netherlands.


 
A spacious terrace was added to create an al fresco dining venue, where guests can enjoy one of their club benefits - the daily afternoon tea with a view of sunset over the rice paddy fields and catch a glimpse of the hotel’s hot air balloon taking flight.


 
By turning Panen Padi Lounge into the ideal venue for guests to celebrate their special occasions or events, Tanah Gajah Ubud is bringing the spirit behind the beautiful memories and moments - from private parties to intimate dinners - that Huiyam (now Panen Padi Lounge) has been through back to life. This tranquil dining destination is the perfect location for private dining, marriage proposals, a working lunch for the board of directors, and even cocktail events.
