Ubud Palace and Puri Saren Agung

Historically, the palace was the residence of the last king of Ubud. Despite the fact that Ubud Palace was the home of the Balinese Ubud King and still houses the descendents of the last monarchical ruler of the area, the palace displays some very interesting Dutch-colonial influences amongst its designs. The numerous pavilions that surround the grounds of the main palace are intricately and decoratively designed with fascinating furnishings and finishings.

The inner courtyards of the palace are the main tourist areas of Puri Saren Agung. Here, visitors can catch an excellent glimpse of life for the royal family of Ubud. On most nights, the palace hosts traditional Ubud dancing, which attracts a large number of onlookers eager to take in the ancient culture and wonderful atmosphere of Puri Saren Agung.

For those tourists wishing to see more of the palace, accommodation is located on site. Puri Saren Agung was, interestingly enough, the very first hotel in the town of Ubud. Today, the lodging is more of a home-stay hotel, boasting beautiful boutique rooms in exquisite style.

Ubud Palace is situated on the corner of Jalan Raya Ubud and Jalan Suweta, in Ubud Kaja. This allows very easy access from anywhere in the town. Even though Ubud is renowned for its spectacular attractions, including the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary and Neka Gallery, the palace is certainly a must-visit destination for all travelers to the city.
