✈️ Ubud, Indonesia Travel Guide
🌞 Selamat Pagi! (or just “Pagi!”)
Start your mornings in Ubud right—with a hearty “Pagi!” (good morning in Indonesian). It’s the perfect greeting before you sip your kopi or stretch into a sunrise yoga flow.
📍 Places to Go:
Tegallalang Rice Terrace
Experience Bali’s iconic terraced greenery—best in the early morning. Paths wind through emerald paddies where local farmers often welcome small donations for access. Wear good shoes, bring water, and say "terima kasih" when passing locals.
Tibumana Waterfall
A serene, less-crowded gem near Ubud. Trek through lush jungle to reach a 20 m cascade with a refreshing pool—ideal for a mid‑day swim.
Sacred Monkey Forest
Home to ~1,260 long‑tailed macaques living among three ancient temples in Padangtegal.. Watch for cheeky monkeys—they’re known for grabbing sunglasses, bags, even phones. Respect the space, observe warnings at entry, and avoid eye contact to keep both your head and theirs safe
Sang Spa & Yoga Center
Not just spa treatments—think holistic Balinese healing, massages, and private yoga classes. Chill out or get restored after your adventures.
Yoga Barn
The spiritual heart of Ubud’s wellness scene. Drop into a morning yoga class with a global energy—it’s a melting pot of Vinyasa, sound healing, and mindful community vibes.
Morning Market
Wake early and wander Ubud’s bustling market—fresh fruit, fragrant spices, local snacks, vibrant textiles, and handmade crafts. A feast for the eyes and taste buds!
Hindu Temples
Ubud’s temples are community pillars—like Saraswati Temple with its lotus pond, built in the early 1950s by I Gusti Nyoman Lempad. Modest dress and respectful demeanor are a must—cover shoulders and knees, avoid stepping over offerings.
🛏️ Places to Stay
Love Ashram Villa – A peaceful Airbnb option with beautiful private space, ideally located for yoga, temples, and the rice terraces.
🍽️ Places to Eat
Livingstone Holyground Cafe – The BEST Nasi Goreng we had on our trip—flavorful, generous, and a spot locals and travelers rave about.
Tablespoon Ubud – Upscale atmosphere with creative plates and cocktails. Perfect for a relaxing evening out.
Sun Sun Warung – A cozy, friendly warung serving affordable, home-style Indonesian meals with local charm.
What to Wear:
Ubud's tropical climate calls for
lightweight, breathable fabrics to keep you cool and comfortable as you explore. We recommend packing pieces like our
Sage Wide Leg Cotton Pants for effortless comfort and style, paired with the
Sage Boyfriend Button Down for easy layering during cooler mornings or temple visits. For lounging or casual adventures, our
Bondi Lounge Set is a must—soft, airy, and perfect for the laid-back Bali vibe.
