Location

Bali is a beautiful, enchanted island full of mystery and adventure. It is located near the main Indonesian island of Java. Unlike the rest of Indonesia, Bali stands alone as an oasis of Hindu culture. It is filled with temples and everywhere one goes you are constantly reminded of their deep spirituality. Its landscape is lush and tropical. Rice paddies terrace down hillsides like giant steps. Volcanoes soar through the clouds and the beaches are lapped by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.

Ubud is a remarkable town in the middle of the island of Bali. For more than a century, it has been the island's preeminent centre for fine arts, dance and music. Ubud is a hot spot for literati, glitterati, art collectors, connoisseurs, cosmic seekers, artists and bohemians to name a few.

Ubud is arguably the best place to use as a base if you're visiting Bali; if you're looking for culture, comfort, nature and inspiration. Ubud is surrounded by most of the things that bring people to Bali - scenic rice fields, small villages, markets, art and craft communities, ancient temples and places. Its central location makes it easy to get from Ubud to the mountains, beaches, and major towns.

What's near Ubud

Beaches - About an hour and a half from Ubud is Kuta, Seminyak, where long stretches of beaches belong to unbelievable sunsets - surfers paradise

Activities - Scuba diving, trekking, white water rafting, sacred sites and temples, shopping, art galleries, amazing wood carvings, Balinese cooking classes, art lessons, visits to healers including

EAT PRAY LOVE: The real thing!

Some of you might remember the healers in the Bali chapters of Eat Prey Love. We can arrange readings and visits with both Ketut, the Medicine Man and Elizabeth Gilbert's healer friend in Ubud, named Wayan for those of us who want to go! And if you haven't read Eat, Prey, Love then it's a must read getting you ready for Bali - buy it here...
