Craving that boho lifestyle that Bali does so well? There’s no better place to find it than in the lush green jungle grounds of Ubud. Whether it’s your first or fifth visit, here are some tried-and-true places to shop, eat and spa that will nourish the mind, body and soul.
Shop
Biasa
Resort wear with an edge, Biasa uses natural, super-fine fibres that fold, flow and hug in all the right places; one of their kaftans is all you need to wear when you’re in Bali.
John Hardy Showroom
Add a beautiful Balinese treasure to your personal collection (knowing you’re supporting the local community at the same time). You’ll be treated to a personal tour through the open-air workshop and the new, striking architectural bamboo showroom – book at least a day in advance.
Eat
Moksa
Perfect for a reboot after a long flight, Moksa literally digs fresh ingredients from the onsite garden to create delicious plant-based dishes. It’s an ever-changing menu and they have great take-away sweets for late night jet lag cravings.
Nusantara
A Locavore creation, Nusantara cooks up food from around the archipelago served to you in Ubud. A homage to the richness and diversity of Indonesia.
Spa
Como Shambhala Estate
One of the best retreats in the world to shake up your chakras with a location high above the rainforest, arranged around the Ayung River and overlooking rice fields.
Five Elements
Traditional Balinese healing at its best. Five Elements isn’t just a spa experience, but a transformative, life-changing stay on so many levels, from daily yoga to raw food and mind-altering treatments.
