written by local expert Becky Rogers

Becky is an avid rock climber and outdoor enthusiast and is now living in France as an expat. When she is not writing about travel gear and various destinations she has visited during her travels, you can find her playing with her two dogs.

Popularized by the movie “Eat, Pray, Love”, Ubud has since become a destination frequented by many. If you’re looking for a bit of culture and relaxation, Ubud, Bali is the place for you!

Here, you can find yourself surrounded by rainforests and terraced rice paddies, dotted with many Hindu temples and shrines. Although it is known for its many peaceful retreats and meditation centers, if you’ve had enough relaxation and downtime, we highly recommend going white water rafting, off-road biking, and mountain biking!

To help you find the best accommodation in Ubud, here are our top picks for the best places to stay in Ubud, no matter your budget.
