The Property — ART Villas by Into
ART Villas by Into feels more like a private compound than a hotel: each villa is wrapped in tropical greenery and opens onto its own plunge pool. The lobby is a low-roofed, open-sided pavilion where you check in over a welcome drink while geckos chirp in the rafters. This place suits couples or solo travellers who want a quiet, design-conscious base near central Ubud but with enough seclusion to avoid the street noise. The USP is the price: for what you get – a private villa with pool – it undercuts most competitors in the area.
Chronicles of Ubud
Ubud was originally a central village in the Balinese kingdom of Gianyar, inhabited from the 8th century and known for its medicinal plants (the name comes from 'ubad', Balinese for medicine). In the 1930s foreign artists such as Walter Spies and Rudolf Bonnet settled here, turning Ubud into a magnet for painters and dancers. The rice terraces and water temples that define the landscape are part of the Subak irrigation system, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Today Ubud balances a global yoga-and-café culture with its traditional Hindu festivals and artisan villages like Tegallalang and Batubulan.
Best Time to Visit
Full Ubud guide →Best months
July and August for reliably dry days and clear skies; also June, when crowds are still building and the landscape is lush without being waterlogged.
Peak / festival surge
August and early September are peak: European summer holidays and the Ubud Village Jazz Festival (August) push occupancy above 90%. Hotel prices can double from their low-season average; advance booking is essential.
Budget shoulder season
April and October are the sweet spots: lower rain than November–March, far fewer tourists than July–August, and hotel rates often 30-40% under peak.
Weather & packing
Even in the dry season, a tropical downpour can arrive without warning. Pack a lightweight rain jacket (not an umbrella – the wind will snap it) and quick-dry footwear for temple visits where you must remove shoes.
Live City Briefing — Ubud
- The Ubud–Sanur by-pass road (Jalan Bypass Ida Bagus Mantra) has had lane closures for resurfacing since April 2026; allow 20 extra minutes for any drive to and from Sanur beach.
- Several new co-working spaces have opened on Jalan Hanoman: Outpost and Tribe are now accepting day passes (£8-10), useful if you need reliable Wi-Fi mid-stay.
- The Subak irrigation channels across Ubud's southern paddies have been issued a dry-season water-use schedule; you may see temporary rice-field closures for maintenance during July.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to ART Villas by Into, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the upper floors (2nd or 3rd) at the back of the villa complex, away from Jalan Sandat. These tend to be quieter and catch more breeze.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near Jalan Sandat — street noise from scooters and early-morning traffic is constant. Also skip rooms adjacent to the reception or common areas, as they can get foot traffic and chatter.
Best views
At 46 Jalan Sandat, the front rooms overlook the street and some local shops/rice fields beyond (if the building faces north-east). Back rooms may have garden/pool views with less traffic noise.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3 (if the villa has multiple levels) are generally quieter. Single-storey villas: request a unit set back from the street.
🔊 Noise notes
Jalan Sandat is a busy secondary road in Ubud — expect scooter noise from 6am, especially with deliveries to nearby hotels and cafes. Occasional temple processions can also pass by. The villa's limited height (likely 2-3 storeys) doesn't fully block street sound.
Insider tips
1. Check in early (before 2pm) to negotiate a quieter room; staff are flexible if you ask nicely. 2. The villas often have a communal pool — request a unit with pool access if you value a cool dip after exploring Ubud's humidity.
- 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.
