Restaurant Recommendation in Ubud

Take a look at some vetted restaurant recommendations to enjoy in Ubud. You can use this as a reference once you're there or, if you want reservations, send a message in the chat and we'll be happy to make those.

Your Stay: Buahan Banyan Tree

Why we love it for you: Located nearby a small village and nested behind infinite layers of impenetrable flora in the heart of the Balinese jungle with glimpses of rice fields, is Buahan, Banyan Tree Escape, a 40-minute drive from the north of Ubud.

Stretching over a site far out of the commercial areas, where you can contemplate the unobstructed views of the mountains, have access to the Ayung River and stroll its untouched waterfall.
