Bali will heal things you didn’t even know were broken.

Widely considered one of the world’s last untouched elite travel destinations, Ubud mixes old world tradition and new world comfort.

WHY GO NOW?
Our recent Metro Travel survey showed Bali to be our readers' favourite destination in the world. So we thought it was time to take a closer look at one of Bali’s most sublime towns.

Ubud is not a beach resort, as it lies pretty much in the middle of the island. But for more than a century, it has been the island’s centre for fine arts, dance and music. Traditionally a haven for backpackers, would-be gurus, and bohemians -- and they are still very much here -- Ubud is now also a major hot spot for the discerning traveller.

Yes, five-star hotels now overlook the most prized views in Bali, but Ubud’s super-cool alternative feel, and indeed its magic, is still very much intact.

Ubud is arguably the best place to use as a base if you're visiting Bali.
