Ubud Vacation Guide

Two years living in Ubud, distilled into one guide—the food I kept coming back to across every cuisine and budget, the coffee worth going out of your way for, two rice field walks most visitors drive straight past and the shopping worth doing.

Restaurants from local warungs to the best steak in Bali. Where to base yourself and why it matters. What to do beyond the obvious—pottery and tea ceremony, the waterfall temple worth every rupiah, the walks that lead through ricefields. Not the classic spots.

An honest take on Ubud that only comes from actually living there. The real things Ubudians do.
