COMO Shambhala Estate

Cheaper still:
Uma by COMO
Kayumanis Ubud
Any of the Komaneka
Alila Ubud

Remember, not every Amanjunkie has an unlimited budget. Many of the above can be several notches lower both in quality and in price than Amandari - and while it is a beautiful, and as a result, underrated, resort, if I were faced with a similar choice, I'd make the exact same change and keep Amanusa/Amanjiwo/Amankila, but swap out Amandari for something else.
In which case , just skip the Ubud stay as I mentioned a few times on various threads & make day trips instead ! Some do not belong here ( forum or thread ) ..
Stay at Kila or even Nusa .
We often pop by Dari for a meal transferring & doing our ( in ) Ubud " errands " between the 2 .
Or a pleasant evening drive from Kila to one of the restaurants in Ubud like Mosaic
