With breathtaking views of its picturesque rice terraces to its luxury resorts, Ubud is full of diversity and culture.
Known as the Arts Hub of Bali it not only attracts the budget conscious backpacker looking to loose and then find themselves again after weeks of Yoga and micro diets, but now also the luxury seeking tourist as well.
Its culture is a shining reminder that traditional Bali still has its place firmly planted on the ground no matter how many Yoga studios can be built here…and there are quite a few.
