Bidadari Royal Balinese Rijsttafel
The true Balinese cuisine is like all else in Bali, a matter of contrast. There are every day foods and there are festival foods. The staple of daily fare is rice, accompanied by vegetables, a small amount of fish or meat, and a range of condiments, usually cooked in the early morning, and consumed whenever the need arises, often as snacks.

Most Balinese meals are eaten quickly and without fanfare. Dining out and in groups is not a normal social custom. Festivals are the major exception food is prepared in an elaborate and decorative manner and is eaten communally, marking the occasion as something out of the ordinary.

All of the dishes at the Bidadari are therefore created with a festival mood in mind, the meal is served“ family style “ as food should be, placed in the middle of the table to be shared and enjoyed by all.

Discover a mystical village
Discover this mystical village called Ubud and find out why it is special in more ways than one.

Only 4kl from Bidadari Private Villas & Retreat, It has its own magic, and its particularly beautiful surroundings and gracious way of life have drawn celebrities and artists from all over the world in recent decades; some have even adopted Ubud as their own home.

Balinese women carnival – peed
Ubud is now more than ever in the spotlight due to the famed book by Elizabeth Gilbert and movie “Eat Pray Love”. If I have to describe Ubud Bali in one word I would say “mystical village”.

Despite the large numbers of tourists visiting this little village with streets that are too narrow for touring buses, Ubud has been able to maintain its traditional life.

discover-mystical-village It is the meditation capital of Bali, many people come here purely to recharge their batteries from the past paced western life, here you just surrender to the energies and let go.

Ubud has been voted the 6th best city in Asia in October 2012 by the Condé Nast Traveler, it is not hard to see why; everywhere you look is paradise with dense green jungles, myriads of rice fields and beautiful tropical gardens.

Here Balinese men and women still place offerings gracefully on the side of the road and on temples; every day you will see them riding beautifully dressed on motor scooters to temples and ceremonies while holding colourful woven baskets, sometimes you can witness even up to four on a bike.

This is not a village were you should be up and running…the order of the day is to RELAX and live in the NOW. It is more a place where you’ll want to stroll around or just sit with a book and watch the colourful and delightful pictures pass by.

If you can’t resist some action though, there is the Monkey Forest where you’ll be greeted by the many Macaque monkeys. There is also the Ubud Market. This market starts off early in the morning as a food market by 11.00 am it is a maze of shops that sell everything a traveler in Bali can imagine…and more.

Monkey Forest Ubud
In Ubud and its surrounding hamlets cultural influences and artifacts are still found. Besides absorbing the cultural beauty of Ubud there are many other things to do which always seem to be intertwined with the daily village life.

For instance the nearby temples show you the historical and religious influences that are still present today while the many museums offer you the opportunity to learn about their Bali paintings, drawings, carvings and statues.

Besides this you can also actively learn about the village’s culture by participating in dance, paint, mask-making and cooking classes, for which you will do some shopping at the local market.

These courses are pretty exceptional for Bali and the tourism foundation of Ubud Bali encourage this as this is one of the ways to create a balance between tourism and the locals. Only through this balance can the natural and cultural beauty of the village be preserved.

The stunning location of the village also provides enough opportunity to explore the rice terraces or the river valleys that are found in and around the village. When walking through the panoramic scenery you will find yourself up close with the local people who are working in the fields throughout the day.

But remember once you are there, take your time and just experience it, The village is surrounded by fertile land which has resulted in the beautiful rice field terraces you always find in travel and photo books on Bali.

This is also an ideal location to explore the terraces yourself and take beautiful pictures while standing in the midst of it all and feeling part of it.

From here an unique place has emerged into a painter’s village that has attracted many people, including foreigners who have played their part in forming various painting styles.

It is not surprising to see that many artists feel at home in this village considering the mystical and inspiring setting. Today painting still plays an important role in Ubud and around.

There are many galleries where painters sell their work. Additionally there are several important art museums that show unique paintings that will create even more appreciation for this form of art.

Rice Terrace in Ubud Bali
You can continue your cultural adventure in the evening where you can choose from many Balinese performances such as the graceful Legong dance, the cool-looking Kecak-trance dance and the Jegog with its amazing sound created by playing the giant Bamboo, also the funny Wayang Kulit shadow puppet plays.

This is a great way to end your cultural day experience in Ubud Bali followed by a cocktail, glass of wine or a local Bintang in one of the many garden restaurants.

Getting Around Ubud
Ubud is an ideal place to walk around, especially if you check out the small streets and alleys on the side of every road. They lead you to amazing places such as rice fields, river valleys, temples and Balinese living court yards. Ubud Bali has three big main roads which are all one way-streets.

So you will definitely drive through them regularly if you are finding your way through Ubud by car, bike or motor scooter. The busiest and one of the longest is the Monkey Forest Road. This road starts in the south when you come into Ubud and ends all the way in the north at the crowded Ubud Market.

This street is overdeveloped with shops, restaurants and places to stay. Monkey Forest road already looks cramped, but there is even more behind the many buildings along this road.

The many alleys (gang) on both sides of the road are passages to tucked away hotels (many cheap homestays), spas and restaurants. Jalan Raya (the Royal Rd) is a road that crosses Monkey Forest Road in the center of Ubud Bali. To the left, this road leads you to the Campuhan area.

Main Street Temple in UBud 
Within these sacred grounds you can start a rice field walk that goes on further north of Ubud past the ancient-looking villa complex Ibah. Another road that you’ll certainly come across is Jalan Hanoman.

Like Monkey Forest Road, this street is long and it has many shops, restaurants, hotels and homestays. Going towards Monkey Forest Rd, Jalan Hanoman comes to a fork, the right vias off to Monkey Forest Rd, whilst to the left is still Jalan Hanoman and goes on passing the ARMA museum then becomes Jalan Raya Pengosekan that takes you on to Lutundoh village.

Ubud is relatively small so if you have the time you can easily walk around and see a lot. The streets and footpaths are a little bumpy, occasionally you might find a hole or two or a loose pavementso be careful (Hati Hati) of your footing.

However look out for the colourful offerings which are placed along the streets and in front of shops. Along Monkey Forest Road there are many bicycle and motor scooter rentals, usually the price drops the longer you rent them.

Before you hop on, check the profile of the tyres are still good. It can get really slippery when it rains. An accident is the last thing you need during your well-deserved holidays… Everywhere in town you will find many private drivers sitting in the shade of a tree only to jump up when you come in sight.

Instantly they will make this driving movement with their hands and at the same time wiggle a little with their body. ‘Transportation…?’ is the first thing they say.

If you reply with: ‘No thank you…’ or ‘Tidak Teramikasi’ (pronounced as ‘tear out my car seat’), you can immediately expect the next question ‘How about tomorrow…yes?’ They are harmless but can get on your nerves after passing dozen of them within minutes.

But if you are considering touring around for a day then a private driver is what you need. Check out if you like their car and then bargain for a price that suits you.
