Imagine waking up to endless rice fields, the sound of jungle and flowing water in the background, and a day filled with unique experiences ahead. Welcome to Ubud, the place where you truly experience authentic Bali.
Located in the center of Bali, about an hour’s drive from Canggu, Ubud is a world apart from the busy coastal areas. Here, everything revolves around nature, culture and slowing down. And trust us, it feels surprisingly good.
The nature around Ubud is simply breathtaking. Think green valleys, rice terraces and hidden waterfalls.
An absolute must is a visit to the Tegallalang Rice Terraces. These iconic rice fields are among the most beautiful in Bali. Go early in the morning for soft light and fewer crowds, and enjoy the views in peace.
Looking for a walk? The Campuhan Ridge Walk is one of the most scenic routes in the area, especially at sunset.
And then there are the waterfalls. Think hidden gems like Tukad Cepung Waterfall, where sunlight shines through a cave, or the tranquil Tibumana Waterfall. Perfect for a refreshing dip in the middle of the jungle.
Evenings in Canggu revolve around one daily ritual: watching the sun slowly disappear into the Indian Ocean. Echo Beach is one of the best places to experience this.
The black sand, surfers catching their final waves and relaxed beach bars create a unique atmosphere. As sunset approaches, the beach fills with people gathering to enjoy the moment together.
For a more comfortable experience, head to a stylish beach club like La Brisa Bali, where wooden decks, palm trees and lounge beds create a tropical setting. With a drink in hand, you can watch the sky shift from golden tones to shades of pink and purple.
For those who love action, Ubud won’t disappoint.
Go quad biking through muddy jungle trails, try white water rafting on a river or explore the surroundings in a unique way with tubing.
One of the most famous spots is the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary. Here you walk among hundreds of monkeys in their natural habitat. A small warning: they love sunglasses and phones, so keep your belongings secure.
Ubud is perhaps the ultimate place in Bali for relaxation and self-care.
From yoga at The Yoga Barn to luxurious spas and traditional massages, this is where you truly unwind.
An absolute recommendation is a flower bath. Not only relaxing, but also an experience in itself. Combine it with a massage and you’ll feel completely reborn.
Ubud is full of cozy cafés and restaurants. From healthy smoothie bowls to refined dinners overlooking the jungle.
For a unique experience, Cretya Ubud is a must. Think infinity pools, rice field views and a relaxed luxury atmosphere.
Hidden gems like Swasti Beloved Café offer a peaceful oasis where you can easily spend hours without noticing.
Getting lost in the streets of Ubud is part of the experience. Be sure to visit the Ubud Art Market, where you’ll find handmade souvenirs, jewelry and art.
Tip: bargaining is the norm here, so keep it light and friendly.
