AC Collection / Bali / Ubud
Ubud is Bali's cultural heart. Temples, rice terraces, jungle valleys and some of the best spas in Asia, with cooler evenings and a pace that invites you to slow down.
Couples, families, wellness retreats and travellers who want to see the Bali of temples, ceremonies and craftsmen. Many guests split their trip between a few nights in Ubud and the rest on the coast.
Pool villas facing the rice fields or the jungle, often within small private estates with breakfast served every morning. The best ones are just outside the town centre: close enough for dinner, far enough for silence.
Every house is chosen by Anthony Campana, a Superhost for ten years with more than 1,000 reviews across booking platforms and a 4.9 average rating.
Around an hour and a quarter to an hour and a half by car.
Three to four nights is a good start to see the temples, rice terraces and waterfalls without rushing, before moving to the coast.
The nearest beaches are about 40 minutes away. Ubud is about nature and culture; the coast is for beach days.
