Ubud Accommodation
Some distance from the crowded beaches full of noisy teenagers, only an hours’ drive from Ngurah Rai airport or Kuta you’ll find Ubud, an island within an island. The difference in settings is amazing when you arrive here compared to coastal destinations. Ubud hotels are pure luxury, giving the best accommodation available in Bali. There are no beach resorts and Ubud has grown into one of the most amazing places to go to anywhere in Bali.
The Bali accommodation of Ubud is set amongst the beauty of the rainforest and mountains, with all the hotel and villa accommodation starting from the mid price up to the top 5 star deluxe Ubud Hotels. There are a scattering of budget places to remain but are not situated anywhere near the tranquil settings that makes Ubud such a popular destination.
When it comes to hotel accommodation, there are only a few places, not only in Bali, but anywhere in the world that may compare to Ubud extravagance. Some of the finest accommodation that Ubud has to offer is the traditional Bali Villas that have been adapted to provide pure lavishness and comfort. The most up market villas will be fully isolated from any other building and you will have a feeling that you are completely insulated from anyone else. You will be sitting on a deck area with a backdrop of some natural beauty that only Ubud has to offer, 24 hour room service, air conditioning, all the mod cons that you could wish for. The majority of the private villas have infinity pools for you to cool down in in the heat of the day. Spas and massage services will be available in the best places, along with 5 star restaurants and bar facilities.
There are many art studios and shops to be found in the main village of Ubud. Some of the paintings, sculptures and other designs can be picked up at very reasonable prices. When buying artwork just make sure that there isn’t any ivory, still very common as a medium for some artwork, as you’ll get it confiscated when you arrive home or worse.
In the village you’ll also find many spas and places where you can get a massage if the service is not offered to you at one of the Ubud hotels. Having such a glorious natural surrounding Ubud offers many cycle paths and hiking trails that connect some of the more impressive views, except for the mountains and rain-forest a trip to the volcano is always exciting. Personal guides will always be available if you are afraid of getting lost. The hotels and villas all offer day trip Bali tours if you want to do some diving or whitewater rafting and will organize everything you need.
There is such a lot to take in and experience in Ubud that when you have visited once you are certain to go back for another trip. The terrain around Ubud offers such a large amount of different gorgeous views that there will be many Ubud Hotels that you’ll be able to stay in over a few vacations and still want more ; it is just such an awe inspiring landscape and cultural haven.
As far as destinations in Bali go, Ubud is fully unique and so busy throughout the year. The Bali weather tends to affect the popularity of the seafront resorts more than Ubud. Even though Bali’s wet season is fairly long, October to May, there is still lots to experience in Ubud. Having the dense rain forest to explore in the wet stormy season, the cultural programs, and the art courses that are always available brings holiday makers here even when the beaches of Kuta and Sanur are comparatively quiet. The peak season is still from Apr to Sept, but it’s still significant that you book sufficiently early so you can stay in one of Ubuds wonderful hotels or villas.
