For an Ubud adventure that’s easy on the pocket, we’ve found the top accommodations at Ubud that don’t just provide the beautiful nature experience we all love – but are also affordable!

1. Look out of your wooden wonderland at Bliss Bungalow Ubud

Be awoken to the first dawn of golden light shining upon the view of promising paddy fields, and stunning gardens to take an evening stroll around in.

Imagine sipping tea to such a view!

If you love wooden furnishing, you would love a night in either a room or a bungalow that is wonderfully crafted with a timber theme.

Where one can wake up to the sun shining over the paddies, and the sound of ducks quacking on fields of newly cut rice along with the symphony of countryside animals.

Suitable for families, a deluxe room comes with a queen sized bed along with a single bed, especially essential if you’re travelling with your older children.

At Tegal Sari, you can even choose to sign up for some hands on culinary classes in an open air kitchen, and learn the best of Bali’s homemade cuisines – yum yum!

As you step into the hotel, you’ll be greeted by the friendly and hospitable host, who will make you feel right at home.

Despite its budget-friendly prices, Buana Home Stay offers plenty of amenities to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. The entire place has a very Balinese homestay vibe, with traditional decor and a cozy atmosphere.

7. Learn to Make Traditional Temple Offerings – Puri Garden Hotel and Hostel

Get lost in nature amidst decorations of traditional statues and temple-like architecture, with the perfect mixture of modern and all things old school.

If you’re looking for things to do, Puri Garden Hotel offers culinary classes where you’ll visit the local market for ingredients, and learn all about ingredients and techniques used in Indonesian cooking.

Otherwise, take a stroll through the rice paddies with the hotel guide; or even get creative and learn to make traditional temple offerings while learning about Balinese beliefs and culture.

A stay at Puri Garden Hotel guarantees you’ll be refreshed, waking up to the perfect harmony of the cool morning skies and chirping of birds.

And a last tip from us, a morning stroll around the compound can provide great relaxation at a place this serene!

The spacious rooms all come with balconies to hang out on during days where you don’t feel like exploring out of the comfort of your room.

Outdoor seating areas are found throughout the property to replicate the villages of Bali where people enjoyed sitting together in mini huts – spending time with each other talking and having tea and snacks together as a pastime.
