Ubud is surrounded by most of the things that bring people to Bali -- scenic rice fields, small villages, art and craft communities, ancient temples, palaces, and rivers. The central location of Ubud makes it easy to get from Ubud to the mountains, beaches, and major towns. There are plenty of interesting things on the main streets, but most of the magic of Ubud is hidden away.
The name Ubud is derived from the word 'ubad' meaning medicine, and refers to the myriad variety of healing plants found at Ubud and the surrounding environs.
