Favorite Cafe in Ubud 🥰 I always recommend this cafe for everyone I know when they come to Bali. The atmosphere of the place is unique and really cute. No matter how many times I come, I still feel like this place is really cute. The coffee & dessert are delicious 🥰 Even though the cafe here is vegetarian, it still suits my palate, who is not a vegetable follower. There is no space available for car parking yet. Yes, on average, in Ubud there is no parking space. But you can park near the cafe, right next to the road. Yes, a common problem for car users in the Ubud area is... No parking area 😌 Located : Jl. Raya Ubud No.11, Ubud, Ubud District, Gianyar Regency, Bali 80571 #balitrip #cafe

How many swings does it takes to get one shot

Also known as Bali Swing. You can find these huge swings set up all aroundbthe rice terraces at The Tegallalang Rice Terrace in Ubud, Bali. The entrance fee alone was roughly 10k-25k. The swing itself averaged 150k-500k ($10-35) depending on the swing location and dresses. As the seasons switch, each plot does as well. Plots belong to several owners and they all work together to keep the paddies nice. It takes approximately 2-3 months for rice to fully mature for the picking. Here, you'll see some of the most beautiful plots of rice, strategically placed along the steep hills of Tegallalang. During Covid, this place was pretty deserted and now, they are doing their best to revamp it. Gardens are being grown on the side of the swings and little local resturants are starting to reopen. To get to the lush green paddies, go down to the bottom of the hill and cross over. You'll have to buy a bottle of water for 10k (.50 cents). This goes to support the communities there as you visit and take photos. #tegalalangriceterrace #telagalang #ubud #riceterrace #blue #bluedress #fields #terrace #green #plants #bali #balitour @my_balibuddy #tripblazers #fallingforfall

Ubud Village Jazz Festival

#musicfestivals UVJF i think is the only Jazz festival whom the music and musicians are 100% Jazz. Most of the Jazz festival in Indonesia has a lot of influence of Pop. If you love jazz, you have to visit this. The vibes is super casual. And relaxing. They divided the performances into several stages, so you can choose which performers you’d like to see. The venue is always different each year. And the food stall is also something you can’t missed.

Ubud Traditional Spa

#massage Love this place so much. The massage was so relaxing and on point. We did an hour 4 hand massage, an hour reflexology, 45min body scrub and 15min flower bath. Personally, the 4 hand massage is pretty common, the pressure is uneven so I would just go for normal Balinese massage next time. It was a wonderful experience. It is very kind of them to offer cold towels and drinks before starting and tea after the massage. They also have a shuttle service to the center.

Trip to Bali, Indonesia

First time in Bali, but the experience is soo amazing! Experience the beautiful beaches, foods and amazing people! 5 days is really not enough to explore thos beautiful island! We explore Kuta for its amazing beaches and romantic sunset! Ubud, is the place to enjoy and connect with extraordinary nature, from exotic animals and ofcourse the people itself! We'll definitely come back! #baliindonesia #balitrip #balibeach

Black Eye Luwak Coffee

This shop must have been visited by several members, namely blackeye eatery. This time, we had the opportunity to visit its new branch located in Ubud. This shop not only serves coffee, but also provides lunch and dinner, so it is open longer. This shop is beautifully designed, combining wood and industrial elements. There are several areas in this shop: indoor areas on the first and second floors, where the indoor area on the second floor is very comfortable for working. In addition, there is also an outdoor area on the first and second floors, both of which are smoking areas. However, the first floor is more suitable for those who want to smoke while working. There is indeed the noise of vehicles if working from the outdoor area on the first floor, but the sockets and the composition of the tables and chairs are adequate for working. BLACK EYE LUWAK COFFEE & EATERY 📍Jl. Raya Ubud No.88, Ubud ☕ 24.5K - 105K 🍵 24.5K - 47.5K 🍽 48K - 155.5K 🥐 40K - 150K #indonesiatrip#cafein

Bali for quality me time

You can have all the healthy and delicious foods with an affordable price in Bali!❤️so living here for a month for a recharge or self retreat is very ideal. For me it’s a self discovery and development journey, you get to just be in every present moment with yourself (thought, feelings, limitations) fully here. To just let them flow here. To get massages as whenever your body need it. I know I’m coming back with better self, peace!

🌴Nice Ubud Street Market to see💚

🇮🇩Blissful Bali🇮🇩 Just beside the Ubud Water Temple is this street market, as we still had lots of time in Ubud we went through this street and found a few things we like. Strolling this market of Ubud, we see lots of dresses, bags, jewelry, little souvenirs and temples along the way. It is extremely hot as we walk here but there are plenty of food and drink stalls and cafes. Tip: One has to haggle here if you want to buy, no fixed pricing😂 #summerdestinations #familytrip #localguides #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #passionpassport #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #bali #foodie #asiatrip #mustdo #food #trip

🌴A Simply Amazing Cafe in Ubud💕

🇮🇩Blissful Bali🇮🇩 Snack break at this cool open aired place called Simply Social. We loved the ambiance of this place. It was very chilled and relaxed, you could just stay here all day! It is also very spacious and seats that are comfortable, cushioned and even rocking chairs where we sat on in front of the cafe, great for people viewing! Service was nice and fast. Food and drinks are reasonably priced too. We first sat inside and could see all the people and the whole place but we moved towards the entrance area as we wanted a better view of the the street while eating and drinking. Great place to just chill and relax especially after walking around in Ubud. Tip: They are recommended for Sushi, didn’t have a chance to try that as were quite full so we had quesadillas and their coconut coffee drinks #freehotelstay #familytrip #localguides #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #passionpassport #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #bali #foodie #asiatrip #mustdo #food #trip

Beautiful heavenly place

WYAH Cafe

Tree house cafe at ubud. Feel like sipping coffee, breathing in the middle of the mountain. . WYAH stands for While you are here. Here, it will be featured about architecture that imitates tree houses to feel like we are in the middle of the forest. Nature surrounds us (which is in the middle of a real forest). With this type of whip, one of my friends said that I thought of Chiang Mai, I feel like going to Mae Kampong. Well, it's true. It's as beautiful as our house, but it will be in a mood where people are not so popular. . The coffee here tastes very sour. Most of the time should be used medium to light roast. I think people in my village drink this because I can find it in almost every shop. If anyone doesn't eat medium/light roast, I recommend to order it as special ones. Otherwise, it's better to have a latte. 📍Location : Ubud, Bali 🕰️Open everyday : 6:30-20:00 #indonesiatrip #awesomepic #deliciousfood #cafe

Monkey in Ubud is everywhere, even in Starbucks. So, if you would like to enjoy your coffee on the open terrace, be sure that it is safety right now.
