Ubud

Nestled deep in the Balinese countryside, Ubud feels like a world away from the gorgeous resort towns that line the coast. 

Ubud is a hub for arts and culture that might remind you ever so slightly of Byron Bay—without the ocean, of course. But it’s the surrounding hills, made up of green rice paddies, dense rainforest and traditional farms, that give this place its true character. Tip: a bicycle ride out in the countryside is one of the best ways to see the place.
