A Cultural Escape

Barong Resort Ubud welcomes you to a relaxing abode for your next Bali holiday that is centrally located in Ubud, a village town widely considered as the art and cultural epicenter of the island. Virtually endless rows of art galleries and museums, boutique shops and world-class restaurants are set side-by-side ancient temples, royal palaces and mysterious landmarks, such as the Sacred Monkey Forest of Padangtegal, which Barong Resort & Spa shares its vicinity with.

The monkey forest is within only a short stroll from the resort, past art shops and walking streets, while the Ubud Royal Palace, Ubud Art Market and the Ubud community hall where traditional Balinese dances are rehearsed each afternoon, is within only a 15-minute walk up north. Ubud’s various landmarks and attractions such as the Tegallalang Rice Terraces and the Petulu village, home to flocks of white herons, are within a 20-minute transfer.

Ubud has many to offer for the culture buff and art lover. Due to its central location on the island, staying in Ubud allows you ease of access to many of Bali’s other points of interest, such as the central highlands, with highlights such as Bedugul and Kintamani mountain range, Besakih Temple at the foot of Mount Agung, Bali’s highest peak, and many others.
