About Ubud accommodation
About Ubud resorts
Up in the hills of central Bali, Ubud is the island’s soulful heart. Jungle-backed rice terraces, sacred temples and yoga shalas set the pace for slower days, while resorts here lean into wellness, romance and relaxation. Think private pool villas overlooking the jungle, infinity pools with rice field views, and spas that specialise in Balinese flower baths and couples’ rituals. Travellers come for yoga retreats, floating breakfasts and rice paddy hikes, but also for slow afternoons by the pool or firefly-lit dinners. Whether you’re after a honeymoon escape, a family-friendly base, or a boutique eco resort, Ubud has a resort made to match your rhythm.
Where to stay in Ubud
- Central Ubud: Resorts here put you in walking distance of the Royal Palace, Monkey Forest and buzzing markets. Great if you want spa days and yoga without missing Ubud’s action.
- Penestanan: Smaller wellness resorts and retreat-style stays tucked among leafy lanes and artist studios. Perfect for yoga mornings, cooking classes and days that drift by at a gentler pace.
- Sayan: Home to Ubud’s most spectacular jungle resorts, with villas perched above river valleys and hanging gardens. Made for honeymooners, couples, and anyone chasing a luxury private-pool villa.
- Campuhan Ridge: Resorts here back onto rice fields and ridge walks, so you can trade infinity pool dips for sunrise treks. Ideal for nature lovers seeking rustic, boutique resorts.
- Nyuh Kuning: A laid-back village where boutique resorts meet yoga studios, smoothie cafés and temple ceremonies. Close to Monkey Forest but with a slower, family-friendly vibe.
