Where To Stay in Ubud – A Selection of 26 Hotels for All Budgets

People from all around the world travel to Ubud in Bali each year in order to find peace, relaxation, culture, great food and unforgettable experiences.

If you’re one of them, you must be wondering where to stay in Ubud during your trip, right? In which case, I’m here to help! In this post, I have gathered all my best recommendations for the best hotels in Ubud for all pockets – luxury, middle-priced and budget as well. Scroll down to find the perfect places to stay for you!

Ubud is one of the best places to stay in Bali for a couple of reasons. First, it’s a wonderful place full of things to do and sights to see, from fun activities in the centre to the rice fields on the outskirts. Plus, the lush, jungle location is pretty great. But, most of all, there are SO many excellent hotels in Ubud Bali that offer everything you can imagine, from superb rooms to gorgeous infinity pools. Trust me, depending on which resort or villa you choose, you might end up spending a big part of your time simply enjoying all the on-site facilities. 

Let’s find out where to stay in Ubud Bali:

First of all, which is the best area to stay in Ubud?

When deciding where to stay in Ubud, you must think about the best areas as well. This, of course, depends on what you’re looking for and what type of traveller you are. You have two big options here: inside Ubud town and outside of the centre, aka near the pretty rice fields in the surrounding villages.

INSIDE UBUD TOWN

A big part of the best hotels in Ubud are located around the main road, Monkey Forest or Penestanan. Choosing hotels in these areas means that you’ll be within walking distance of shops and restaurants, so you won’t need to struggle with transportation or carefully organising your itinerary.

OUTSIDE UBUD TOWN

If you’re looking to be surrounded by lush nature and big rice fields, staying a bit outside of town, in nearby villages, is the best choice. Tegallalang is the place where the rice terraces are, but you can also stay in Raya Bunutan, Pejeng, Tirta Tawar or Suweta.

All my recommendations for the best hotels in Ubud below are broken down by budget – luxury resorts and villas, hotels that offer a good value for money and budget places as well. I also have two bonus categories for those looking for romantic boutique hotels for their honeymoon or families travelling with kids. Enjoy!
