La propiedad — Ithaca Ubud Villa
The Ithaca Ubud Villa is a compact, plant-shrouded retreat in central Ubud, with a small pool and open-air common area that feels more like a mod guesthouse than a full-service hotel. Its USP is location: a quiet lane a three-minute walk from the Monkey Forest and five from the main market, making it a solid choice for independent travellers who want to be in the thick of things without the noise. Standing in the lobby, you smell frangipani and hear the trickle of a water feature, but there's nothing luxurious — expect firm beds, limited breakfast and thin walls. It suits budget-conscious soloists or couples prioritising walkability over amenities.
Crónicas de Ubud
Ubud began as a cluster of hamlets centred on a royal palace, the Puri Saren, built in the early 19th century by the Gianyar kingdom. Its name comes from the Balinese word 'ubad' (medicine), referencing the medicinal plants used by local healers. The town became a hub for Western artists in the 1930s after Walter Spies and Rudolf Bonnet settled here, founding the Pita Maha cooperative that fused Balinese craft with European modernism. Today Ubud is Bali's cultural and wellness capital, its main street lined with yoga studios, silver workshops and art galleries, while rice terraces still lap at its edges. The 2002 Bali bombings reshaped tourism — security is now visible and visitor numbers have grown steadily to over 3 million a year.
El mejor momento para visitar
Guía completa de Ubud →Los mejores meses
July and August: dry season peak, clear skies and low humidity; excellent for trekking and temple visits. September also works — slightly fewer crowds and still bone-dry.
Peak / Festival Surge
July and August are absolute peak, driven by European summer holidays and the Bali Arts Festival (June-July). Ubud hotel prices double or triple, and Ithaca's rooms book out weeks ahead. The Ubud Writers & Readers Festival in late October creates a secondary spike.
La temporada del hombro
April, May, October and November. These months have moderate rain (still plenty of sun), noticeably lower prices (30-50% off peak), and the rice paddies are brilliantly green after rains. Crowds thin out and restaurants are easy to get into.
Tiempo y embalaje
Ubud sits at ~300m elevation, so nights can be cooler than the coast, sometimes dropping to 22°C. Pack a light jacket or pashmina for evenings and a rain shell even in dry season — brief tropical showers can appear without warning.
Briefing en vivo de la ciudad — Ubud
- The Ubud Monkey Forest adjacent to Ithaca has introduced timed-entry tickets (required for all visitors from 2025) to manage crowds; book online at least 24 hours ahead during peak season.
- A major road-widening project on Jalan Raya Ubud, running through the town centre, has caused traffic snarls since March 2026 and will continue through 2027; expect 15-minute delays for car journeys of a few blocks.
- The Ubud Food Festival is confirmed for 25-27 July 2026, bringing extra visitors and street closures around the market; book dinner reservations two weeks in advance.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Ithaca Ubud Villa, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request upper-floor rooms at the rear of the property, away from Jalan Cocoa II. The two-storey villa layout means first-floor rooms (level 2) are quieter, as ground-floor rooms adjoin the lobby and pool area.
Rooms to avoid
Ground-floor rooms near the front entrance or pool—they catch street noise from Jalan Cocoa II and foot traffic. Also avoid rooms directly above the breakfast area if the property has one.
Best views
Rooms facing the rear garden or rice paddies (common in Ubud) instead of the street. Upper-floor rooms may get a glimpse of treetops or distant hills, but don't expect a panorama.
Quietest floors
First floor (level 2) of the villa block—no lift likely given a 3-star property, so upper floors cut street buzz.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Jalan Cocoa II (motorbikes, trucks, roosters) in front-facing rooms. The pool area can be lively in afternoons. Early morning temple chanting is possible—standard in Ubud.
Insider tips
1. Request a room at the back of the property when booking—mention 'quiet garden view'. 2. Bring earplugs: Ubud's roosters start at dawn, and street noise is unavoidable on ground level.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

💡 Haggle firmly but politely – start at 30% of the asking price. Go at 8am before the tour buses arrive. Avoid the stuff sold near the palace, it's mass-produced.
💡 Pop in for 15 minutes between 9am and 5pm when the lotus flowers are open. No sarong needed – they lend them at the entrance for free.
💡 Start from the north end near the Ibah Hotel for a quieter stretch. The walk is about 2km round trip but you can extend onto dirt trails if you want more.
💡 Leave your sunglasses and loose items in your bag. Monkeys will snatch them. Go after 4pm when it's quieter and the light is softer for photos.
💡 Skip the busy main path – take the steep stairs down to the left of the waterfall for a quieter spot to swim. Go early on a weekday to avoid crowds. Bring swimsuit and towel.
