13 hotels in Ubud – how to choose
The addresses spread across some twenty kilometres of valley.
Capella Ubud Bali · TegalalangFurthest north, high above the gorges, sit the Buahan Banyan Tree above the river, the Cicada Resort Bali Ubud near Tegallalang and the Anantara Ubud in Payangan, whose categories are named for the view into the forest. Our recommendation: the Buahan Banyan Tree.
To the northwest, on the Ayung, come the Capella Ubud with categories facing the valley and the forest, the COMO Shambhala Estate in Payangan and the Alila Ubud. Our recommendation: the Capella Ubud.
Around Ubud itself stand five hotels: the Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve on the Ayung gorge, the Amandari just above it, the Viceroy Bali in the hamlet of Nagi, the COMO Uma Ubud on the road to Sanggingan and the Sthala Ubud in Lodtunduh. Our recommendation: the Mandapa.
And in the south, towards Denpasar, the Gdas Health and Wellness Resort facing the rice terraces and the Westin Ubud Resort. Our recommendation: the Gdas.
Our travel advisors' insider tip
Ubud is not a place but a valley – and that decides your day.
Between our northernmost and our southernmost address lie some twenty kilometres: from the Buahan Banyan Tree above the gorges to the Westin Ubud in the south. On Balinese back roads, behind scooters and ceremonial processions, that is considerably more than half an hour.
Book “in Ubud” and you are booking either ten minutes' walk from the market and the Monkey Forest – or a drive away from it, with mist in the valley and not a single scooter outside the window.
Both are right, but they are two different trips. Which raises the question that comes before the choice of hotel: do you want to walk into town in the evening? If so, choose among the hotels around Ubud itself – the Mandapa and the Amandari are there. If not, the north wins: more river, more forest, less traffic.
The selection starts at 89 € at the Mandapa and 102 € at the Sthala Ubud.
In nine of the 13 addresses the suitespot benefits apply from the first night; at the Buahan Banyan Tree, the Viceroy, the Gdas and the Alila Ubud from the second – which in this valley nobody experiences as a condition anyway.
Where to stay in Ubud: above the gorge, on the Ayung or in town
From Denpasar airport it is a good hour to Ubud with a driver; within the valley the hotel car is the way to get around.
Buahan Banyan Tree Bali · UbudStay in the north above the gorges if the landscape is the reason for the trip: the Ayung canyon, the rice terraces of Tegallalang, the morning mist. Our recommendation: the Buahan Banyan Tree.
Stay on the Ayung for the same quiet but closer to town (recommendation: the Capella Ubud).
Stay around Ubud itself if the evening should happen on foot: the market, the royal palace with its evening dance performances, the Monkey Forest, the workshops of the silversmiths and painters. Our recommendation: the Mandapa, for us the first address in the valley.
And in the south you are closer to the Denpasar road and to the rice terraces (recommendation: the Gdas).
For orientation: the southern beaches are a good hour away, the Tirta Empul temple half an hour, the Batur volcano about one.
Villas and rooms in Ubud
Ubud cooks a great deal of vegetarian food – not as a trend, but because that is what the Balinese cuisine of the highlands looks like.
Cicada Resort Bali Ubud · TegallalangOne figure stands out here: all 13 hotels include breakfast for two – as a fixed benefit, on every rate. At the COMO Shambhala Estate it applies at the Kudus House, at the COMO Uma Ubud at the Kemiri; at the Amandari it is a continental breakfast.
For the evening the way leads into town: the warungs on Jalan Hanoman, the kitchens on Jalan Raya, and the rice-field restaurants you reach along narrow dykes.
Do try bebek betutu – the duck that cooks for hours in banana leaves – and a cooking class that starts at the market.
What a stay in Ubud costs
The median is 260 € a night. The selection starts at 89 € at the Mandapa and runs to 1,366 € at the Buahan Banyan Tree.
Below sit the Sthala Ubud from 102 €, the Alila Ubud from 153 € and the Westin Ubud from 163 €; above it the Amandari from 907 €, the Capella Ubud from 771 € and the COMO Shambhala Estate from 621 €.
For comparison: the median for the island as a whole is 344 €, Seminyak 268 €. So on average you stay more affordably in the valley than on the beach – on plots that up here are considerably larger.
It costs least from January to March: those are the greenest months, the rice terraces are full and the waterfalls carry water. Book early for July and August, the days between the years and around Nyepi, the Balinese new year in March, when the valley falls silent for a day and the night sky opens.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year just as you do in the busiest.
Dining, temples and exclusive services
Ubud has been the place painters come to for a hundred years – and that still shapes the valley.
