5 Places You Haven’t Visited in Ubud and The Best Place to Stay!

There’s no such thing as enough when you talk about what to do in Ubud, Bali. Almost every time, you can discover new sites, temples or places to go. Now, I know everyone must have visited places like Sacred Monkey forest or Campuhan Ridge Walk. But, I’m going to talk about those sweet spots none has ever unraveled. So, you can also be among the first to explore the road not taken. 

5 Places You Haven’t Visited in Ubud

1. Ulu Petanu Waterfall

Ulu Petanu waterfall is an immaculate waterfall in Ubud. Here, you would be able to enjoy a beautiful and natural waterfall. There’s not many visitors around, so you can enjoy the sight by yourself.

2. Gunung Kawi, Sebatu

Sebatu Village’s Banjar Sebatu neighborhood is home to the Gunung Kawi Sebatu Temple. This 5000 square meter spiritual tourism product has been a draw for travelers since the 1970s. You may take in the serene, natural setting of Gunung Kawi Sebatu Temple here. In fact, there are cliffs and trees just behind the temple that keep the location cool and fresh.

3. Jero Dukuh

Jero Dukuh is one of many sacred places along the Petanu River. Balinese believe that water running on Jero Dukuh is holy water. Thus, the water has natural healing effects. Therefore, everyone can bathe in the location to get rid of any sickness. 

However, the place offers much more than just holy water. It is among the best places in Ubud to enjoy the natural environment. And the best thing about it is that the location is quite untouched. So, you won’t meet a lot of people and thus can relax and enjoy nature like you never did before. 

4. Delodsema Traditional Village

Delodsema Traditional Village offers a very engaging program and is intended to inform visitors about the native way of life. This trip focused on exploring the area, having an adventure, helping others, teaching about the environment, and tracking around the countryside.

5. Lembah Bidadari (Angel Valley)

You will be welcomed by a pool with exceptionally clean water when you arrive at Angel Valley. The pool receives its water from natural springs that pass through a few of the showers. Beautiful, serene, and cozy towering cliffs in many colors of green surround this swimming area. 

A secluded, still-rarely-visited location gives coziness that makes guests feel at home for extended soaks there. The pool’s bottom is clearly visible from the surface due to its transparency. This pool may be used by kids because it only goes as deep as an adult’s chest.

The Best Resort to Stay in Ubud

To visit all 5 locations above, you need to stay in Puri Gangga Resort Ubud. Thus, it would be easier to reach and enjoy all destinations. 

• Ulu Petanu Waterfall – 9 minutes by car/motorcycle
• Gunung Kawi, Sebatu – 2 minutes by car and only 10 minutes walking. 
• Jero dukuh – 10 minutes with motorcycle
• Delodsema Traditional Village – 15 minutes by car/motorcycle
• Angel Valley – 17 minutes by car/motorcycle

The resorts offers 3 kinds of accommodation: 

• Deluxe Room
• Suite Room 
• Pool Villa

But, I highly suggest the villa for family vacation or a romantic weekend getaway. The 167 sq. m. Puri Gangga Villa offers opulent living quarters with a King bed, flat-screen TV, and marble floors. 

The one-bedroom villa has a private patio that is roomy and a garden that overlooks the valley. It also has a private pool that is surrounded by sun loungers. 

The home is surrounded by large windows that let in warm natural sunlight and a breathtaking outlook. A standing shower and a sizable bathtub with views of the rice terraces are included in the private bathroom.
