Getting Around Ubud

Ubud is relatively tranquil place that many visitors to Bali enjoy. The day time scene on Jl. Raya Kuta can get a little hectic, but away from that immediate area and in the evenings, Ubud is peaceful. For people with a car or motorbike, Ubud and the surrounding areas are a joy to behold. Some of the most scenic 1-2 hours drives are in the Ubud area, a couple starting on Jl. Raya Ubud. It is possible to rent cars and motorbikes down town in Ubud, which is not a bad idea. Hiring a car with driver for the day is a good way to go also and ideally sohuld be booked in advance. For people arriving in Ubud by bus and who have no intention of renting a car or motorbike

Ubud Accommodation:
Ubud has accommodation to suit all tastes and budgets, ranging family homestays to 5 Star resorts. Downtown Ubud is the center of the budget accommodation, which is great for people arriving by Perama bus. Perama’s office is located on the bottom end of Jl. Hanoman, putting you very close to accommodation options.

Three budget locations in Ubud include Jl. Hanoman, Jl. Kajeng and Jl. Penestenan, in the west of Ubud. The first two are right downtown, with Jl. Penestenan being suitable for those with some transport.

Central Ubud also has mid-range accommodation such as Nick’s Hidden Cottages, just off of Jl. Raya Ubud for around 250,000rp, with shared pool. The Biyukukung Suites and Spa is another place centrally located, with a relaxing rice-field environment.

There are plenty of budget guesthouses, that are 50,000rp and up. They are not in any hotel booker, don’t expect to see them on any other website in Bali. Most are extensions of a family compound where the family still lives. An excellent way to observe the culture, right from the start of the day when a family member will give offerings and prayers, to the little bits of life that occur like the preparing of traditional food and religious events.

Most of these places offer a basic room with fan, twin or double beds, hot water, breakfast. Being located downtown makes life a lot easier on people without transport. Another thing is that for people on RTW trips who want to relax as well as explore, when you are only paying $6 a day you won’t feel too guilty for not having a productive day.

Staying slightly out of town in Penestenan costs more. People are prepared to pay for that rice field / Bali village feel. There are also some fine hotels in places like Campuhan and Sayan. In fact one of the Best Hotels in the World (the Four Seasons Sayan) according to Travel & Leisure, is only 15 minutes from downtown.
