The Property — Canang Gardens
Canang Gardens is a calm, mid-range hotel set back from Ubud’s main drag, with a two-tier pool framed by tropical planting and a small spa. The lobby is open-sided, cooled by fans and the scent of frangipani, staff greet you with a cold towel and ginger tea. Rooms are clean and simple, with hardwood furnishings, and the restaurant serves solid Balinese and Western dishes. It suits budget-to-mid travellers who want a quiet base within a 15-minute walk of the Ubud Palace and monkey forest.
Chronicles of Ubud
Ubud grew from a cluster of villages around the Campuhan River, long a centre for Balinese art and royal patronage in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Its modern identity was shaped by foreign artists like Walter Spies and Rudolf Bonnet in the 1930s, who helped establish the Ubud Artists’ Village and the Puri Lukisan Museum. The 2000s saw a boom in boutique hotels and yoga studios, but the town maintained its terraced rice-field edge and temple-focused layout. Today Ubud is Bali’s cultural and wellness hub, balancing traditional ceremonies, craft markets, and a tourist-driven café-and-retreat scene.
Best Time to Visit
Full Ubud guide →Best months
April, May, September – dry season, lower humidity, clear skies for rice-terrace walks, and fewer crowds than July–August.
Peak / festival surge
July–August and December–January are peak season due to European and Australian school holidays and the Bali Arts Festival (June–July). Hotel prices at Canang Gardens typically double in July and book out weeks ahead. The Ubud Writers & Readers Festival in October also drives a smaller spike.
Budget shoulder season
February, March, October, November – lower rates, rain showers but still plenty of sun, empty temples and rice fields. Good time for last-minute deals.
Weather & packing
Ubud is cooler than the coast but still humid; afternoon tropical downpours are common even in the ‘dry’ season. Pack a lightweight rain jacket, quick-dry trousers, and closed-toe sandals for muddy paths. An umbrella is essential every month.
Live City Briefing — Ubud
- The new Ubud Bypass road (Jalan Raya Ubud extension) opened late 2025, easing congestion on the main strip but adding noise at certain hotels – check if your room faces it.
- Ubud Monkey Forest introduced timed-entry tickets in early 2026 to manage crowds; book at least a day ahead on busy summer weekends.
- Several new plant-based restaurants and a co-working space opened on Jalan Hanoman, expanding evening options beyond the tourist-centre core.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Canang Gardens, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the second or third floor at the rear of the property, away from the street. These floors put you above ground-level noise and offer glimpses over neighbouring rooftops towards the treeline.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms, especially those at the front of the hotel. They pick up street noise from motorbikes and foot traffic on the Jalan Raya Ubud thoroughfare, and have less privacy with passers-by near the windows.
Best views
Rooms on the second or third floor with a rear-facing orientation overlook the hotel’s small garden or the neighbouring rice paddy strip—nothing dramatic, but a green respite from the street. Front-facing rooms look onto the road and shop fronts.
Quietest floors
2nd and 3rd floors.
🔊 Noise notes
Ubud’s main road is busy with scooters from early morning until late evening. The hotel’s address places it right on that strip, so street hum is constant. Roof or wall-mounted AC units in some rooms add a low drone.
Insider tips
1) If you drive, the hotel’s parking is a small alley accessed from a side lane—pull in slowly and ask reception to guide you on arrival. 2) For the best chance of quiet, email the hotel directly three days before check-in and request a ‘rear-facing, upper-floor room’—they often honour handwritten requests over booking notes.
- 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.
