Ubud has been a place of great mystique
and fascination for several decades now. It wasn’t until the 1980’s
really that foreigners came here in any numbers or with too much
frequency. Clearly there were visitors, some substantial, well before
that, but up to that point Ubud was still a bit of a hidden mystery. To
have several “old timers” describe it, Ubud had no roads or electricity,
or at least not many, in those days to even make a phone call would
have been difficult except for a couple places in the center of the
city.Slow-paced and rural, practically everything in Ubud was shut down
and completely dark by 9:00 pm. In addition, most of the entire area of
Ubud was nearly all full of rice paddies until fairly recently.
Clearly you can see a lot has changed
since then. There has been phenomenal growth, which still remains
ongoing today, that has transformed the place in ways and to a point
that it must be nearly unrecognizable on some levels. However, that does
not diminish any of the city and this area’s charm and appeal. Ubud is
dynamic, exciting and unique in several ways compared to the rest of the
world. That is not to say it is best or devoid of problems as something
can be said for anywhere on Earth and all places face troubles, but
Ubud is different and special.
These
people have created and developed one of the most fascinating places in
the world. The fact is, there are very few places like Ubud and Bali.
Ubud is a bastion of strict mystical Balinese Hindu practices and
beliefs. It is also a superbly lush and verdant with unique geography
made sweet by a somewhat mild climate. The place has become the home and
heart of some of the more devout and conspicuous cultural and artistic
displays here. Commercially and socially, Ubud is robust and full of
entrepreneurs, tour operators, artisans, bohemians, connoisseurs, shop
keeps and restaurateurs, but it has always maintained a laid back and
free-spirited feel. New age, liberation, spirituality, well being and
healthy living are actively practiced on some level throughout. There is
also a strong love for art, literature, music and food here.
The ultimate peaceful destination, Ubud Villas has become a place-to-relax, unwind, meet people, seek romance,
learn-about-self, and get-back-in-touch kind of venue. If you’re looking
for culture, comfort, nature, entertainment, fun, culinary pursuits or
plain old inspiration, Ubud has some incredible things that make Bali so
interesting. There are picturesque rice fields, ancient temples,
rivers, waterfalls, palaces, museums, art galleries, wonderful people,
tons of great food, comfortable climate and a wild variety of
interesting adventure activities from horse, elephant and ATV riding to
canyoneering, mountain biking and river rafting. There is also an
incredibly varied amount of interesting accommodation from home stays to
luxury villas.
Ubud
is made up of a small main town and several small villages that
surround it. It is about 24 to 33 Celsius year round with typically
frequent, short rains (which can vary) that help to make the place very
green. There are a lot of diverse shopping, indoor/outdoor activities,
dining and entertainment concentrated in this place. There is also a
rich tradition of celebration, learning, goodwill and openness that
carries on to today. Almost anyone would have a positive, meaningful and
possibly unforgettable experience if they spent just a week in Ubud,
Bali.
