Swept Away is an internationally celebrated fine-dining restaurant nestled along the banks of the Ayung River at The Samaya Ubud in the Sayan valley. Positioned right along the river's edge, the venue features elevated timber decks that offer diners tranquil views of rushing whitewater rapids and towering tropical rainforest. The restaurant is world-renowned for its exclusive 100-candle riverbank dining experience, where couples dine amidst a hundred glowing candles and floral petals set against the river rocks. The culinary team prepares modern Asian-fusion degustation menus that unite contemporary European techniques with aromatic Southeast Asian spices for an unforgettable romantic evening.
