Travel to Ubud
Ubud is a sprawling town on Bali’s fertile interior, often considered the cultural heart of this famed Indonesian island. While Bali’s coastline boasts some of the world’s most beautiful beaches, Ubud holidays offer travellers an opportunity to enjoy the unique artisan culture of its locals. Bustling street life with markets, restaurants, cafes and shops selling handmade goods gives way to verdant rice paddies on the outskirts and a stunning backdrop of a volcanic mountain range. Renowned artists have been inspired by Bali’s landscapes and their works are exhibited alongside those of local talent in Ubud’s many museums and galleries.
Ubud’s central location gives visitors the option of exploring the town’s arts and crafts culture, as well as allowing easy access to the rest of the island. Areas such as Monkey Forest and Jl Hanoman are within minutes of Ubud’s vibrant town centre and visitors can also enjoy outstanding hotel facilities – relax in an infinity pool looking out over Bali’s rich landscapes with a cocktail in hand or absorb the island’s serenity through yoga and meditation classes. Due to its elevation, temperatures in Ubud are somewhat cooler than on the coast and when planning your holiday you should take into account the rainy season in January and February.

Best of Ubud
Ubud was founded in the eighth-century as an important source of medicinal plants. The name itself comes from the Balinese word ubad, meaning medicine. In later years, the town became a popular centre for the arts and attracted many international artists. It has remained a beacon of culture for Bali, while its scenic surroundings have helped increase its popularity as a holiday destination.
Brimming with culture and creativity, Ubud’s town centre has plenty of museums and art galleries where you’ll find plenty of traditional and modern Balinese art. Your Ubud holiday wouldn’t be complete without taking in one of the regular cultural performances which highlight the island’s traditional dances. Once you’ve been inspired, sign up for a course in ceramics, Balinese cooking or a workshop in creative art.
Ubud holidays are packed full of rich history with temples, shrines and palaces within easy reach of the town. Take a trip to the Elephant Cave where large carved stone statues stand guard at the entrance. The Royal Palace is still partly inhabited with visitors allowed access to certain sections for a sneak peek into royal life. Any trips to the outskirts of Ubud will allow you to witness the awesome 1,000-year-old Sabak, Bali’s tiered irrigation system that is now enlisted as a World Heritage Site.
As a scenic and cultural holiday destination, Ubud ticks all the boxes. The range of accommodation in and around the town offers something for every budget and it’s ideal if you’re looking to experience Bali away from the beaches and bars. Street-side cafes and restaurants offering both Balinese and international cuisine enhance Ubud’s Bohemian character. This is a place to relax, enjoy awe-inspiring scenery and to drink in incredible feats of human ingenuity and artistic beauty motivated by Bali’s landscapes.
