PURI SARASWATI BUNGALOWS
An offer to those are fond
of Art & Culture
This charming bungalows are set back of the street
in a tranquil and serene garden. It is hard to believe
that Ubud's activity is so close to these quiet and
calm surroundings. This is a proper place if you wish
to capture pure soul of Ubud Bali.
This intimate 18 rooms hotel in the center of Ubud
is newly renovated inside and out. Great care was
taken to retain the traditional Balinese architecture
and lush gardens, well known trademarks of this property.
New rooms are beautifully furnished and are air conditioned
or have ceiling fans and fresh breezes. Bathrooms
are either marble or terrazzo. Every room has its
own large, private veranda. The pool is inviting and
cold drinks are served at the poolside or directly
to rooms.
And at the Bungalows, activities vary from day to
day. One day it will be carvers creating masks for
the mystical barong; another day artisans will be
detailing newly created gamelan instruments; or perhaps
gala preparations for a temple ceremony could be in
process. Guests are surrounded by Balinese art, culture
and tradition. At Puri Saraswati Bungalows it is all
part of a normal day. The Bungalows have never been
separated from the old, traditional Balinese life
and guests can be as much a part of this as they choose,
perhaps as an observer, perhaps as a participant.
The Bungalows have served guests for over 25 years.
This very special hotel remains a part of the Ubud
Royal Palace property and today three generations
of the royal family make their home on the grounds.
Guests will see authentic Balinese ceremony and ritual
as family and friends come and go. It is very possible
they will be invited to participate in temple ceremonies
with the family.
LOCATION
Puri Saraswati Bungalows
is located in the center of Ubud Village, two minutes
walk from the Ubud Market, the Ubud Royal Palace and
Puri Lukisan Art Museum… but still only five
minutes from beautifully terraced rice fields. Ubud
is recognized as the artistic and cultural center
of Bali and appropriately, the goddess Saraswati represents
the arts, knowledge and wisdom.
The Bungalows are adjacent to the famous Lotus Pond
and acclaimed Café Lotus Restaurant. On selected
evenings each week, award winning gamelan and dance
groups perform on the Lotus Pond stage. During the
day, the stage is used to teach young boys and girls
traditional Balinese dance. In the surrounding pavilions,
young musicians practice gamelan. The area is alive
with traditional artistic activity.
