Healthy Food - Healthy Body - Healthy Mind
Ubud is one of my favourite places, I spent 4 months there last year and I am looking forward to going back for another month later this year. I miss drinking fresh coconut water every day!
I have put together a route which makes a great day in Ubud and you can walk between all the places. I hope you like it and it gives you some inspiration of where to go if you visit beautiful Bali! Enjoy :)
Ubud is one of the world’s top yoga destinations. There are so many great yoga schools here, so what better way to start your day than by putting your hair in a yoga bun and heading to a class.
After building up an appetite you will want a healthy and delicious meal. You are spoilt for choice but I will let you know some of my favourite places. The health scene is so advanced here and it's a dream for anyone following a holistic, vegan or raw food lifestyle, or if you just want to try something different!
People tend to be pretty chilled out here but we still need a bit of pampering to make ourselves look and feel good. Treat yourself to a pedicure at Fresh, as the value for money and quality you get is second to none. Then take a walk through nature, along the stunning Campuhan ridge walk, enjoying the quiet of the rice fields.
Finish the day with a relaxing massage at Karsa Spa. Ahh pure bliss, you will have a brilliant day and your body will thank you for it.
1st stop) Yoga Barn
Classes run all day long with everything from Yin to Kundalini, so there is something for everyone. For something less strenuous, you could try a meditation class such as crystal or Tibetan bowl.
2nd stop) Atman
After working up an appetite you will be ready for a healthy brunch. Head to Atman on Hanoman street to try some of their delicious and creative meals. A favourite of mine is the scrambled tofu on red rice toast, it’s amazing! Walk through to the back of the restaurant for a view of the rice fields.
3rd stop) Fresh
Time to let the food go down and give the legs a little break. Spa’s are everywhere in Ubud and such good value for money. For a top quality pedicure, Fresh is the place to go. They do get busy so it might be good to book ahead if you are visiting during high season.
4th stop) Seeds Of Life
For something sweet keep walking to Seeds of Life. This is raw food heaven. Seriously, this place is so advanced in the health scene, you won’t believe how food that tastes this good is actually packed full of nutrients to keep you fit and healthy. I especially love the brownies and vegan ice cream.
5th stop) Lazy Cats Cafe
This gorgeous cafe is a cool place to relax and enjoy a coffee or fresh smoothie. They have homemade cashew coco milk as a perfect alternative for vegans.
6th stop) Campuhan Ridge
A hidden gem in Ubud for anyone who loves walking and natural scenery. The views from the ridge are stunning and you feel a sense of calm from being out in the rice fields. After the ridge keep going and you will reach a small village with some interesting little art galleries.
7th stop) Karsa Spa
Spas and healers are everywhere in Ubud but Karsa spa has something different. Set in the rice fields, it’s a totally different vibe to the wonderful but hectic Ubud town. For a special treat to remember, opt for the intuitive heart massage.
