The Balinese are a somewhat unusual island people. Instead of looking outward to the sea, they have always looked inward to the mountains. Ubud epitomizes this and for many Ubud is Bali.
Ubud has become known worldwide as a center and haven for the arts. A very special place to be sure, with spectacular hillside settings overlooking lush rice paddies. Close your eyes and listen to the sound of gamelans wafting through the hills and then you will know how Bali came to be the center of the universe.
There is a wide range of hotel accommodation from the most expensive hotel on the island down to the everyman losmen. As well there are a number of very fine restaurants, several respectable museums and lots of interesting folks wandering about.
