The Property — Ashoka Tree Resort
The Ashoka Tree Resort swaps Ubud’s frantic centre for a quiet lane near Campuhan Ridge. Expect a compact three-star with a small pool, balconied rooms and an open-sided restaurant surrounded by greenery. Staff are friendly but the place feels more functional than charming – think base camp for budget-conscious couples or solo travellers who plan to explore rather than lounge. Standing in the lobby you smell frangipani and hear distant gamelan, but the decor is basic.
Chronicles of Ubud
Ubud began as a gathering point for Balinese healers and artists, growing around the Ubud Palace (Puri Saren Agung) built in the 1800s. The town’s modern identity as a cultural hub was shaped by Western artists like Walter Spies and Rudolf Bonnet in the 1930s, who drew attention to its temple dances and woodcarving. Today Ubud is a knot of yoga studios, organic cafés and art galleries, though traffic and tourism development have strained its once-bucolic charm. It remains the spiritual and artistic heart of Bali, with rice terraces, monkey forest and a calendar of temple festivals.
Best Time to Visit
Full Ubud guide →Best months
April, May and June: dry season with blue skies, lower humidity, and fewer crowds than July and August. Perfect for trekking and temple visits.
Peak / festival surge
July and August: European summer holidays and Ubud Writers & Readers Festival (October) drive prices up 30-40% at resorts like Ashoka Tree. Roads clog and queues at popular sites like Tegalalang Rice Terrace lengthen.
Budget shoulder season
September and October: still dry but quieter, with hotel rates dropping by 20%. November sees wet afternoons but even bigger discounts before the rainy season peaks.
Weather & packing
Ubud’s elevation (around 300m) makes mornings cooler than the coast, but the sun still scorches by 11am. Pack a light rain jacket for sudden January-style downpours – even in July brief showers can appear – and always carry a sarong for temple entry.
Live City Briefing — Ubud
- Ubud’s main road (Jl. Raya Ubud) has new one-way traffic restrictions from 7am-9pm to ease gridlock; use scooter taxis or walk instead.
- The Ubud Monkey Forest reopened its main trail after a landslide repair in May 2026; visitors must follow new sign rules (no bags showing food).
- July 2026 sees peak temple festivals (odalan) at Pura Taman Saraswati and Pura Desa Ubud, with processions that cause short road closures around the palace.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Ashoka Tree Resort, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms at the back of the property, away from the main road. Upper floors (2nd or 3rd) reduce street noise and may catch a breeze, but there's no lift, so stick to 2nd floor if stairs are an issue.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the front entrance or any roadside-facing wing — Jalan Raya Ubud traffic noise starts early and runs late. Also skip rooms next to the restaurant or kitchen if you want quiet mornings.
Best views
Rooms at the back likely face the rice terraces or garden, away from busy Jalan Raya Ubud. That's your best bet at a 3-star resort — don't expect sweeping panoramas, but green and quiet.
Quietest floors
Floors 2-3 at the back (no lift). The resort is set back from the road, so higher back rooms are best for peace.
🔊 Noise notes
Jalan Raya Ubud has constant scooter and tourist traffic from 7am to late evening. Some rooms may also pick up noise from the pool area or restaurant if they face inward.
Insider tips
1. Request a room in the older block at the back — they often have more space and better garden views. 2. Check-in early (by 2pm) to snag a back-room allocation; otherwise, ask nicely at the desk for a quiet wing.
- 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.
