Ubud sits in Bali's highland interior, about an hour and a half's drive north of the island's only airport, Bali Denpasar (DPS). This is not a beach town — it's the island's cultural and wellness capital, wrapped in the emerald rice terraces of Tegallalang, cut by river gorges, and dotted with Hindu temples, art markets and yoga shalas. The Sacred Monkey Forest, Ubud Palace, the Campuhan Ridge walk and the holy springs of Tirta Empul are all here or a short drive away.

What to See and Do in Ubud

The rice-terrace hills of Tegallalang. The most photographed rice terraces in Bali — steep, sculpted paddies worked by the traditional subak irrigation system, about 20 minutes north of the centre. Go early to beat the crowds and the heat.

The Sacred Monkey Forest. A forest sanctuary and temple complex at the southern edge of central Ubud, home to hundreds of long-tailed macaques. Keep bags zipped and food out of sight — the monkeys are bold.

Ubud Palace and the art market. Puri Saren Agung, the royal palace, hosts traditional Balinese dance performances most evenings; the adjacent Ubud Art Market is the place for sarongs, carvings, silver and paintings — haggle politely.

The Campuhan Ridge walk. A gentle, scenic ridge trail through green hills just west of the centre, best walked at sunrise or late afternoon. Free, easy and one of Ubud's loveliest ways to slow down.

Yoga and wellness retreats. Ubud is Bali's wellness capital — yoga shalas, meditation centres, sound healing and spas everywhere. The Yoga Barn is the best-known studio; many hotels here run their own classes and treatments.

Tirta Empul water temple. A 10th-century Hindu temple around 30 minutes north, built around holy springs where worshippers perform the melukat purification ritual. Wear a sarong and sash (provided) and dress modestly.
