Best ATV Rides in Bali (2026): Prices, Route Details and Best Operators

Kj Villanueva August 25, 2026 No Comments

The best ATV rides in Bali aren’t all versions of the same muddy jungle track. Each region gives you different terrain, scenery, and riding conditions, so the right tour depends on the kind of day you want. In Ubud, ATV routes pass through rice fields, jungle trails, tunnels, and carved caves. Uluwatu combines limestone paths, forest, and muddy tracks near the coast. Mount Batur takes you across black lava fields, often at sunrise, with some tours adding a hot spring afterward. Munduk is the full-day option, with highland coffee farms, cooler weather, and a waterfall swim. This guide compares ATV tours in Ubud, Uluwatu, Mount Batur, and Munduk, including operators, routes, prices, and what each experience includes. You can choose

What To Do In Ubud at Night? : Ubud Nightlife ( 9 Best Bars & Late-Night Spots)

Kj Villanueva August 15, 2026 No Comments

In this guide we’ll share what to do in Ubud at Night? Ubud nightlife is smaller and more relaxed than the party scene in Canggu. You won’t find large beach clubs or warehouse parties running until 4:00 AM. Instead, evenings usually center around live bands, rooftop cocktails, casual bars, and a few dance floors near Jalan Monkey Forest. I lived in Ubud for more than a year, and these are the places I still recommend. Most of the nightlife is concentrated in one walkable area. Eight of the nine venues in this guide are on or just off Monkey Forest Road, with many only five to ten minutes apart. This makes it easy to start with a rooftop drink, move

Discover the 19 Most Spiritual Things To Do In Bali, Everyone Is Talking About

Kj Villanueva August 3, 2026 No Comments

Most lists of spiritual things to do in Bali name a few temples and stop there. They don’t tell you what actually happens when you arrive. After living in Ubud for more than a year and completing my 200-hour yoga teacher training here, I put this guide together to help you understand what these experiences are really like before you go. The island’s spiritual reputation spread worldwide after Eat, Pray, Love introduced millions of travelers to Ubud’s healers, yoga studios, and slower way of life. Since then, Bali has become one of the top destinations for people looking to reconnect with themselves. But no two experiences are alike. A water purification ritual (melukat) feels completely different from a sound healing

Kj Villanueva May 31, 2026 No Comments

Bali has more wellness resorts than almost anywhere else in Asia, and they are not all the same. If you’re looking for a place to relax or heal, it’s important to understand the different types available. For example, an Ayurvedic retreat in Ubud’s river valleys offers a very different experience from a cliff-top biohacking spa in Uluwatu or a multi-day detox program in Nusa Dua. Knowing which fits your goals before you book can save you time and help you avoid changing plans mid-trip. This guide introduces you to 15 of the best wellness resorts in Bali, spread across three regions. It gives details about what each place offerslike whether they have sauna and ice bath facilities, structured Ayurvedic programs,

Editor’s Choice: 12 Best Hostels in Ubud Bali from $4/night

Kj Villanueva April 14, 2026 No Comments

I spent over a year living in Ubud, and before that, I backpacked across Bali, hopping between hostels to save money. I also completed my yoga teacher training here, so I know this town well beyond the Monkey Forest and the rice terraces. The best hostels in Ubud, Bali, start at $4/night and are mostly clustered within a 10-15-minute walk of Ubud Palace whihc is the center of Ubud. Ubud’s hostel scene has a distinct personality. You’re not going to find the loud beach-bar energy of Canggu here. What you get instead: morning yoga at 7 AM, complimentary 15-minute massages, rice field views, wellness programming, and a crowd that’s generally there to do something beyond lying on a sun lounger.

Pilates Ubbud Bali

Best Reformer Pilates Ubud Bali (2026 Guide)

Kj Villanueva April 7, 2026 No Comments

I tried through every Pilates Ubud Bali studio on this list firsthand, these are my top picks for Pilates in Ubud, Bali depending on what you need. I completed my yoga teacher training in Ubud and spent extended periods living there between trips back to my base in Uluwatu. Pilates was already part of my routine, so I worked out at the studios here the same way I did in Uluwatu: by showing up and taking classes. Everything below comes from that. The Ubud Pilates scene is smaller than Uluwatu or Canggu, but what is here is genuinely good. You have a boutique reformer studio with jungle-view coffee, a sports-science-led reformer space, the most equipment-heavy studio in all of Bali,

16 Best Bamboo Tree Houses in Bali Worth Booking for a Honeymoon

Kj Villanueva April 2, 2026 No Comments

Bali bamboo tree houses are some of the most sought-after eco-luxury accommodations in Bali Indonesia, and for good reason. Staying in one means waking up above rice terraces with Mount Agung in your sightline, open-air bathing in a hand-built jungle structure, and a level of quiet that most of Bali’s popular areas no longer offer. Having lived in Bali and visited many of these properties across Ubud, Tabanan, and Sidemen, I put this list together for couples and honeymooners who want a stay that goes beyond a standard villa. The 16 properties here range from $60/night at Firefly Eco Lodge near Ubud to $625/night for the fully private Oniria in Sidemen. Most sit in areas remote enough that one night

Best Local Warung Ubud: 9 Authentic Spots to Eat Like a Local under $5

Kj Villanueva March 2, 2026 No Comments

The best local warung Ubud has to offer are family-run kitchens where you can eat babi guling, nasi campur, and freshly prepared gado-gado for less than $3. Many are hidden inside family compounds, along quiet side streets, or in village neighborhoods away from the tourist-facing cafés on Jalan Raya Ubud. After three years of eating my way around Bali, these are the Ubud warungs I keep returning to for fair prices, consistent food, and Indonesian flavors that haven’t been toned down for foreign visitors. Most dishes cost between IDR 5,000 and 75,000, or roughly $0.30 to $4.50 USD. Ubud makes exploring local food relatively easy because the main neighborhoods sit close together. This guide covers nine family-owned warungs across central
