Perfect for Healing, These are The 5 Spots to Hit in Ubud, Bali

The natural beauty of lush greeneries combined with the fact that you are far from the hustle and bustle of urban life make Ubud a perfect getaway spot to spend some time away from the routines, especially if you come from someplace metropolitan. There are plenty of activities you can do to recharge your body, mind, and soul in fun ways. To help you decide, TRAC has compiled them, especially for you.

Activities and attractions in Ubud that are perfect for healing

1. Participate in Yoga Class

You could say Ubud is the island’s Yoga capital. You can attend countless Yoga classes when you visit Ubud, from open classes with a pay-as-you-feel method to exclusive and full Yoga packages.

Several Yoga studios that we recommend are The Yoga Barn, Om Ham Retreat, Samadi Bali, Taksu Yoga, Blooming Lotus, Soul Shine, and Morning Light Bali. For you Yoga and wellness activity aficionados, Bali Spirit Festival will return to this beautiful island in May 2023.

2. Relaxation and Spa

A body “recharge” without topping it off with a pampering package won’t make two. Spas can be an option if you’re looking for high-quality body pampering. Moreover, there are many choices of quality spa places in Ubud. You can experience a unique riverside spa and Tjampuhan Spa and Maya. You can also easily find resorts that offer this facility, such as the Kedaton Spa at Bhuwana Resort or Plataran Ubud.

3. Watch and even take part in traditional dance class

Up for some new experiences? You can come to dance studios and participate in traditional Bali dance classes. Some of the dance classes we recommend are Como Uma Ubud, Visesa, and Komaneka. Classes here are open for beginners, so don’t worry.

After taking the class, don’t forget to watch classical dance performances such as Legong and Barong at Balerung Tirta Sari Peliatan. You will be awestruck by the grace and the beauty of the dancers’ movements. Besides that, this activity can bring you a step closer to the traditional Indonesian culture.

4. Walking along the paddy fields

Walking along a paddy field is certainly not an experience you can get every day. Step a little further out of the Ubud area, where you’ll find the terraced rice fields in Tegalalang. Taking a leisurely stroll along the fields while sleeping in the fresh air of Ubud can be an alternative to expel the “excess energy” you have stored in the body. Tegalalang is also included in the book and is one of Eat Pray Love filming locations, starring the infamous actress Julia Roberts.

Another option you can try is the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces, located in the Tabanan area, about 1 hour’s drive from the center of Ubud. The interconnecting terraced rice field here has become a world cultural heritage. It must be amazing!

5. Try some of the most delicious healthy foods in Ubud

Another experience you can get while traveling in Ubud is trying delicious and healthy foods. You won’t have a hard time finding organic, vegan, and vegetarian food stalls in Ubud. One of the recommendations is Sari Organik, which grows its own produce. The menu that you must try is the unique Nasi Campur Vegetarian or vegetarian mixed rice.

If you fancy a more international taste, you can try Seeds of Life which is famous for its raw food. Don’t miss out on the vegan pizza and other Italian dishes at Bella by Sage.
