The Property — Amomaya House
Stepping into Amomaya House feels like arriving at a friend’s tastefully restored family compound. The lobby is open to a tropical garden, with polished concrete floors and local art on the walls—unpretentious but thoughtful. It’s a calm, mid-range base in central Ubud, ideal for solo travellers or couples who want style without the resort price tag. Don’t expect frills; do expect clean lines, friendly staff, and a decent pool tucked behind the frangipani trees.
Chronicles of Ubud
Ubud began as a small market town in the Gianyar regency, named after the Balinese word for medicine (ubad) due to the abundance of medicinal plants in its river valleys. In the 1930s, Western artists like Walter Spies and Rudolf Bonnet settled here, founding the Pita Maha movement that fused traditional Balinese painting with European techniques. That artistic legacy still defines Ubud’s character: the Puri Saren Royal Palace remains a ceremonial hub, and the surrounding streets are lined with galleries, craft workshops, and yoga studios. Today, Ubud is Bali’s cultural heart, balancing temple ceremonies and rice terrace treks with a steady stream of wellness retreats, vegan cafes, and co-working spaces.
Best Time to Visit

AprilMayJune
Peak / festival surge
July and August are peak, driven by European and Australian school holidays plus the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival (late October) and Bali Arts Festival (June–July). Expect hotel occupancy above 85%, and Amomaya rates typically double from low-season 600K IDR to 1.2M IDR per night.
Budget shoulder season
September and October offer a sweet spot: rain is still limited, crowds thin out after August, and you can find Amomaya rooms for around 700–800K IDR. High-season surcharges drop mid-September.
Weather & packing
Ubud’s microclimate means sudden afternoon downpours even in the ‘dry’ season—a light rain jacket or packable umbrella is essential. Pack a pair of sandals that can handle wet stone paths and a sarong for temple visits; many local warungs won’t serve you without one.
Live City Briefing — Ubud
- The new Ubud Monkey Forest bypass road (Jalan Raya Ubud extension) opened in early 2026, reducing traffic jams near the sanctuary by diverting through-traffic around the town centre.
- Ubud’s main market (Pasar Ubud) is being renovated through late 2026, with temporary stalls relocated to Jalan Sugriwa—expect a more orderly layout but fewer vintage textiles until the rebuild finishes.
- The annual Ubud Food Festival has been cancelled for 2026, but the Bali Arts Festival (mid-June to mid-July) will still close Jalan Raya Ubud for nightly street parades, so book Amomaya well ahead if you want to be in the action.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Amomaya House, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the second or third floor facing the inner courtyard (away from the main road). These rooms are quieter and catch morning light without the street noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the lobby or any room directly facing Jalan Raya Ubud — the main road traffic and scooter noise is relentless from early morning until late evening.
Best views
From upper-floor rooms at the rear, you get green tropical foliage and possibly a glimpse of rice paddies in the distance. Street-facing rooms overlook the noisy main road.
Quietest floors
Second and third floors, especially rooms at the back of the building overlooking the garden or pool.
🔊 Noise notes
Jalan Raya Ubud carries constant scooter traffic, temple processions, and early-morning cock-crow from nearby villages. The hotel's own public areas can be lively until 10pm.
Insider tips
1) Book directly with the hotel and ask for a 'garden-view room on the second floor' — they often upgrade quieter rooms for direct bookings. 2) Bring foam earplugs: the neighbourhood roosters start at 4am regardless of room location.
- 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

Top Attractions in 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.
