Surrounded by lush rice fields, tropical forests, and peaceful hills, Ubud exerts a fascination that invites contemplation, creativity, and reconnection.
What Makes Ubud Unique

- Markets and local crafts: the Ubud market (Pasar Seni) is a must-see for batik fabrics, wood carvings, paintings, and Balinese handicrafts.
- Nature as a backdrop: Ubud offers landscapes of sculpted rice fields, winding trails such as the Campuhan Ridge Walk, and the sacred monkey forest, populated by macaques roaming free.
- Art and expression: The Puri Lukisan Museum, one of Bali’s oldest art museums, exhibits traditional and contemporary Balinese paintings.
- Iconic events: Every year, Ubud hosts the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival, an international literary festival that combines conferences, readings, workshops, and performances.
