Elegant five-star hotels, villas and luxury mansions now stand on its prime areas. They make Ubud the best place to use as a base on your visit to bali looking for culture, comfort, nature and inspiration. Ubud offers panoramic rice fields, small but charming villages, art and craft communities and ancient temples and palaces.

Ubud has a population of about 8,000 – 12, 000 people. It is famous as a source of medicinal herbs and plants. That is how the place gets its name which is the Balinese word for medicine.

Tourism on the island developed fast after the arrival of foreign painters such as Walter Spies Willem Hofker and Rudolf Bonnet to the area. Celebrities like Charlie Chaplin, Barbara Hutton and H.G. Wells came to the village and spread the good word when they returned to their western countries.

There are some museums that are worth visiting such as Museum Puri Lukisan, Museum Neka, Rudana Museum and Agung Rai Museum of Art.

The Ubud Atmosphere is perhaps the major attraction. So, enjoy the unique atmosphere in Ubud. There is a saying that you have not been to Bali if you haven’t visited Ubud.
