Ubud

Between lush rice terraces, sacred temples, and a seriously spiritual vibe: your guide to Ubud.

Rice fields on the Sweet Orange Walk

Our Review of Ubud

  1. Flair

    Spiritual, lush, and genuinely unlike anywhere else in Bali — Ubud is the island's cultural heart.

  2. Travel season

    The dry season from May to September is the best time to visit — expect sunshine and manageable crowds.

  3. Travel Duration

    Three to five days is the sweet spot — enough time to settle in and explore the temples and rice terraces nearby.

  4. Price level

    Low to moderate — your money goes a long way here, especially if you're traveling independently.

  5. Food

    Don't leave without trying Bebek Betutu — slow-cooked duck that's a true local specialty.

  6. Transport

    The center is easily walkable, but rent a scooter if you want to explore the surrounding villages and terraces.
