Uma Ubud, Bali

At the centre of this magical island, Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali, is a mix of old and new against a backdrop of lush jungle.

The studios of Western modern artists sit next to galleries of traditional Balinese art. Funky organic cafes filled with expats are neighbours to ancient temples, where nightly dance performances have all eyes transfixed.

Like the town, Uma Ubud seamlessly blends old and new, with modern white interiors and traditional architecture. A 20-minute walk from the centre of town, Ubud life is still on your doorstep.

Don't miss the Neka Museum and the legendary Naughty Nuri's Warung and Grill (order mie Go:reng). Take advantage of the yoga classes to find inner peace.

WOW FACTOR: Visit Uma's sister property Como Shambhala Retreats, in the jungle, for one of its blissful treatments.
