Central Bali
Bali's cultural heart - rice terraces, temples, art and jungle wellness retreats.
Ubud sits inland in the central highlands, about 1.5 hours from the airport. It is Bali's cultural centre, with a long history of painting, carving, dance and temple ceremony, and it is the base for the island's wellness and yoga scene. Days are cooler and greener than the coast, with river valleys, rice terraces at Tegallalang, the Campuhan Ridge Walk and the Sacred Monkey Forest. Accommodation leans toward jungle-view villas and retreat-style resorts.
