Results for “Ubud”

Tegenungan Waterfall

Entry is 20,000 IDR (~$1.30), and honestly this one has been discovered — nowhere near as quiet as Sidemen earlier today, and there is a zipline operator right next to the falls that adds some noise.

Tegallalang Rice Terraces

Came right at opening before the tour buses — had the top viewpoint almost to myself. The Tegenungan swing photos are a tourist trap but the terraces themselves are genuinely stunning. Entrance donati

Ubud Palace

Free to walk through in the afternoon, and if you can come back for an evening Legong dance performance in the courtyard it's worth the small ticket price (~100,000 IDR / $6.50). Courtyard and grounds

Warung Babi Guling Ibu Oka

The original Ibu Oka warung near Ubud Palace — crispy pork skin, tender spiced meat, and a scoop of blood sausage on the side. Get there before 1pm or they sell out. A plate runs about 50,000 IDR (~$3

Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary

Hold your bag with both hands — a macaque unzipped my backpack in about four seconds flat. Still, the mossy temple ruins under the canopy are worth it. Entry is 80,000 IDR (~$5) for adults. Paths are

The Mansion Resort Hotel & Spa

Roughly 1,500,000 IDR (~$98) a night for a room overlooking the gardens, breakfast included. The grounds have five separate pools scattered through landscaped tropical gardens, and it made a genuinely

COMO Uma Ubud

Our one splurge of the trip — about 5,750,000 IDR (~$380) a night — and the infinity pool looking straight down the Ayung River valley is the reason every COMO Uma photo looks the way it does. Breakfa

Odi Ode House

About 330,000 IDR (~$21) a night for a room right on the edge of the rice fields, breakfast included — banana pancakes and real Balinese coffee every morning, made by the family who run the place. Roo

Grand Inna Bali Beach

About 1,370,000 IDR (~$90) a night at Bali's oldest international hotel, built in 1966, and it shows in places — some fixtures feel dated. But the beachfront gardens are genuinely beautiful and the po

Pajar House Ubud

About 370,000 IDR (~$24) a night — we moved guesthouses partway through the trip specifically to save on transport to Tegallalang and the Monkey Forest the next day, both a quick ride from here versus

Prime Plaza Hotel Sanur

About 1,150,000 IDR (~$75) a night — we moved base from Ubud to Sanur for the back half of the trip specifically because it's a 10-minute walk to the harbor where the Nusa Penida boats leave, which sa

Satria Coffee Plantation

Free tasting flight, kids got a cocoa/ginger-tea version and loved seeing the civets (kopi luwak) even though we skipped buying the actual luwak coffee — the ethics of that didn't sit right with us fo

Sidemen Valley Rice Terraces

Free to walk, no entrance fee at all — the real find of the whole trip. About an hour and a half past Ubud so most tour groups skip it entirely, meaning the rice terraces here (arguably more dramatic

Campuhan Ridge Walk

Completely free, no ticket at all. Did the full out-and-back at golden hour and the light on the grassland ridge was unreal, one of the best free things I did in Bali. Paved for the first stretch then

Local Warung Nasi Campur

A little family-run warung a few streets back from Ubud's main road — rice with a bit of everything: shredded chicken, tempeh, sambal matah, boiled egg. Under $3 and better than most of the touristy c
