Hotels in Ubud

Far from the crowded beaches full of noisy kids, only an hours’ drive from Ngurah Rai airport or Kuta you’ll find Ubud, an island within an island.  The difference in settings is amazing when you arrive here compared with coastal destinations.  Ubud Hotels are pure luxury, giving the best accommodation available in Bali.  There are no beach resorts and Ubud has grown into one of the most amazing places to visit anywhere in Bali. 

Bali Accommodation of Ubud is set amongst the beauty of the rainforest and mountains, with all of the hotel and villa accommodation ranging from the mid price up to the top 5 star luxury Ubud hotels.  There are a handful of budget places to remain but are not situated anywhere close to the tranquil settings that makes Ubud such a popular destination. 

When it comes to hotel accommodation, there are very few places, not only in Bali, but anywhere in the world that may compare to Ubud extravagance.  Some of the finest accommodation that Ubud has to supply is the traditional Bali Villas that have been changed to provide pure lavishness and comfort.  The most up market villas will be totally secluded from any other building and you will have a feeling that you are fully isolated from anyone else.  You’ll be sitting on a deck area with a background of some natural beauty that only Ubud has to offer, twenty-four hour room service, air-con, all of the mod cons that you might wish for.  Most of the private villas have infinity pools for you to cool down in during the heat of the day.  Spas and massage services will be available in the best places, with 5 star restaurants and bar facilities. 

There are many art studios and shops to be found in the main village of Ubud.  Some of the paintings, sculptures and other designs can be picked up at very reasonable prices.  When buying artwork just ensure that there is no ivory, still very common as a medium for some artwork, as you can get it confiscated when you arrive home or worse. 

Within the village you will also find many spas and places where you can get a massage if the service isn’t offered to you at one of the Ubud hotels.  Having such a glorious natural surrounding Ubud offers many cycle trails and hiking trails that connect some of the more impressive views, aside from the mountains and rainforest a visit to the volcano is always exciting.  Personal guides will always be available if you’re afraid of getting lost.  The hotels and villas all offer day trip Bali tours if you wish to do some diving or whitewater rafting and will organize everything you need.

There is such a lot to take in and experience in Ubud that when you have visited once you are bound to go back for another trip.  The terrain around Ubud offers such a big amount of different gorgeous views that there’ll be many Ubud hotels that you’re going to be able to stay in over a few holidays and still desire more ; it is just such an awe inspiring landscape and cultural haven. 

As far as destinations in Bali go, Ubud is totally unique and thus busy throughout the year.  The Bali Weather has a tendency to affect the popularity of the seafront resorts more than Ubud.  Although Bali’s wet season is reasonably long, October to May, there’s still plenty to experience in Ubud.  Having the dense rainforest to explore in the wet rainy season, the cultural programs, and the art courses that are always available brings tourists here even if the beaches of Kuta and Sanur are relatively quiet.  The peak season is still from April to September, but it is still important that you book early enough so that you can stay in one of Ubuds wonderful hotels or villas.
