Through meaningful experiences and responsible practices, we aim to protect Bali’s natural treasures and support the people who make Ubud special.
Cultural & Community Experience

Guests can join guided visits to local rice terraces and see how farmers collaboratively manage water, plant, and harvest rice through ceremonial practices.
