Ubud located almost an hour drive from Ngurai Rai International airport, located amongst rice paddies and steep ravines in the central foothills of the Gianyar regency. One of Bali’s major arts and culture centres, it has evolved a large tourism industry. Ubud is internationally reputed for its visual arts and performance, as well as extraordinary arts and crafts, making it one of the most important cultural and artistic centres in Indonesia. It’s hard to distinguish how pleasing Ubud is without sounding smug, but it truly is that nice.

Ubud is favourite in part nowadays because it is the best place in Bali to break out of the holidaymaker mode and get off the beaten course, although far from undiscovered. Hotels are ample; home stays and Indonesian guesthouses (losmen) are easily accessible to the foreign tourist. Many tourist simply stand their whole stay in the city and travel to different destinations from Ubud.

Among of the great things about Ubud is that it is settled 600m above sea level, making it significantly cooler than much of Bali. A lot of people visit Ubud thinking to stay for only a day or two but end up extending their trip, seduced by the cool climate, natural beauty and fascinating attractions.

This is a great place to use as a base to explore the surrounding towns and villages. Neighbouring villages offer elegant art such as weaving, wood-carving, shadow puppets and village crafts. The main castle is settled in the centre of Ubud, opposite the town market and village theatre where nightly traditional dance performances are held.

A private Bali Ubud villa can be anything from an intimate 1-bedroom riverside hideaway, to an exclusive, custom-built, 8-bedroom, ‘destination villa’ with a 5-star standard of service and every imaginable comfort, designed to ascertain that guests do not feel the need to go out for top quality dining and entertainment. All of this could be yours by staying in one of Bali villas located in Ubud.
