Ubud

The spiritually charged village of Ubud is the cultural and artistic pulse of Bali. The township is surrounded by a timeless landscape of tropical greenery that is crossed by a network of meandering rivers. It is an area that lends itself to inspiring outdoor activities such as white water rafting, cycling and eco trekking.

The main streets of Ubud are lined with galleries, cafes and small shops selling exotic gifts and unique trinkets. A traditional marketplace in the centre of town is a famous stop for day-trippers seeking inexpensive handicrafts. Ubud is the best place to see the most comprehensive selection of classic Balinese dance and music. Performances take place almost every evening at the royal palace. Ubud attracts creative travelers, academics and wellness enthusiasts looking for an enriching Balinese experience.
