About this Destination
Ubud is the cultural and spiritual heart of Bali — a highland town ringed by emerald rice terraces, ancient temples, and dense tropical jungle, where traditional Balinese arts have been practised for centuries. The terraced landscape of Tegallalang — recognised by UNESCO — is one of the world's most photographed scenes.
This is Bali's creative capital: the streets are lined with woodcarving ateliers, silversmith workshops, batik studios, and traditional dance schools. The town's wellness culture runs deep — from time-honoured Balinese massage and healing rituals to yoga shalas in the forest canopy. The Ayung River gorge, sacred Goa Gajah elephant cave, and Campuhan Ridge Walk complete the picture.
