La proprietà — Anand Ashram
Anand Ashram in Ubud feels less like a hotel and more like a retired Dutch colonial villa that’s been adopted by a Balinese family. The open-sided lobby lets in the sound of the river and the sight of frangipani petals on the stone floor, and the staff remember your name without checking a screen. It’s a three-star with real character: no infinity pool, no yoga shala, just clean rooms, a decent restaurant, and a location five minutes on foot from the Ubud Monkey Forest. Ideal for independent travellers who want a quiet base with local atmosphere, not a resort bubble.
Cronache di Ubud
Ubud started as a cluster of villages around the Campuhan River, a sacred meeting point of two streams. In the 1930s, Western artists like Walter Spies and Rudolf Bonnet began settling here, drawn by the light and the dancers, and their influence turned Ubud into an art colony. The town grew slowly until the 1990s tourism boom, which brought boutique hotels and yoga studios but also preserved the temple ceremonies and the rice terraces that still define the place. Today, Ubud is a creative hub where Balinese Hinduism, international wellness culture, and organic café life coexist—sometimes awkwardly, but always with a visible thread to its ritual past.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Ubud →I migliori mesi
May and June: the tail end of the dry season with blue skies, lower humidity, and fewer tourists than July–August. August also works, but expect bigger crowds and higher prices.
Peak / Festival Surge
July is the busiest month—European summer holidays and the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival (late October is also peak). Hotel prices jump 30–50% from June, and traffic on Jalan Raya Ubud can slow to walking pace. The Bali Arts Festival in June–July adds cultural events but also road closures.
Stagione di spalla
April and September are the smart shoulder months. April: the rainy season is ending, the rice paddies are electric green, and accommodation is 20–30% cheaper than July. September: still dry, quieter after the summer rush, with good flight deals.
Meteo e imballaggio
Ubud’s microclimate means it can rain in the middle of a dry-season day, usually a 20-minute tropical downpour around 4pm. Pack a lightweight rain jacket or a poncho that fits in your day bag—umbrellas are useless in the sudden wind.
Briefing della città — Ubud
- The Ubud main road (Jalan Raya Ubud) is undergoing a long-term drainage and paving project between the market and the palace; expect lane closures and 10–15 minute delays, especially in late afternoon.
- New direct flights from Perth and Singapore to Ngurah Rai International Airport start in June 2026, which could push Ubud arrival numbers up in July.
- The Ubud Monkey Forest introduced a mandatory online booking system for visitor caps in early 2026—book your slot at least 24 hours ahead.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Anand Ashram, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a top-floor room (level 3 or 4) on the rear side of the building, away from the road. These rooms are quieter and catch more daylight through the high windows typical of older Balinese architecture.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms overlooking Jalan Raya – they face the main road and suffer from motorbike noise and morning coffee-shop bustle. Also skip any room next to the central stairwell (standard for budget lodgings), as footfall echoes up.
Best views
Rooms on the rear side (facing away from Jalan Raya) overlook the temple wall and a small garden. You get a green view, not the road. Top-floor rooms here also see over neighbouring rooftops towards the Campuhan Ridge, with a sliver of morning sun.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 (topmost) – removed from street level, with thicker masonry between floors in this type of building.
🔊 Noise notes
Jalan Raya Ubud is busy with scooters from 6am to midnight. The hotel's street-front terrace and small warung next door add voices and cooking clatter. Also expect occasional temple ceremony noise from the adjacent temple – drums and chanting, usually late afternoon.
Insider tips
1) Ask for a rear room on check-in – even if you booked online, they can often move you if one is free. 2) The best natural light is in rooms on floor 3 that face the rear garden; these dry laundry faster after a Bali downpour.
- 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

Best rates at reputable money changers in Ubud town, not at the airport or touristy shops; always count your cash before leaving the counter.
Credit cards accepted at mid-range restaurants, hotels, and larger shops, but most warungs, market stalls, and small businesses are cash-only; contactless is rare.
Not expected but appreciated: round up taxi fares, leave 5-10% at restaurants if service charge isn't included, and tip hotel staff 10,000-20,000 IDR for carrying bags.
Mangiare, fare shopping e viaggiare su un budget
Cheap car hire →Balinese kopi tubruk at a local warung, about 5,000-10,000 IDR.
Nasi campur or mie goreng at a simple warung, around 15,000-25,000 IDR.
A main course at a modest local restaurant, typically 25,000-40,000 IDR.
Along Jalan Dewisita and the evening market near Ubud Market; look for sate lilit and pisang goreng.
Coco Mart and Pepito Express are the common mini-markets for basics, not full supermarkets.
Ubud Market for cheap batik sarongs and cotton clothing, but bargain hard; better value in nearby Tegallalang for woven items.
Renting a scooter for 50,000-80,000 IDR/day is the cheapest way to get around; from the airport, take a shared shuttle bus (Perama/others) for about 100,000 IDR per person, avoid taxis.
Eat at warungs instead of tourist cafes; buy water in bulk at grocery stores; bargain at markets but not at fixed-price shops.

Principali attrazioni a Ubud
💡 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.
