EXPERIENCES AT ALAYA SUITES

Located next door to Alaya Suites, the Agung Rai Museum of Art (ARMA) is dedicated to preserving and celebrating Balinese art and cultural heritage. Founded by Agung Rai, the museum is set within tranquil grounds and presents a collection of classical and contemporary works, along with live performances, workshops, and educational programmes.

Located in the centre of Ubud, The Yoga Barn offers a space for inner exploration through movement, breath, and quiet restoration. Its wide range of classes, therapies, and workshops supports all levels of experience and intention. Amid the energy of the town, it remains a calm and grounded place to return to presence.

Ubud Market is where tradition and daily life meet. In the early morning, stalls brim with fresh produce, temple offerings, and handmade crafts. As the day unfolds, vibrant textiles, wood carvings, and artisanal souvenirs fill the lanes, offering a colourful glimpse into Bali’s local spirit and creativity.

At the centre of Ubud’s cultural life, the Ubud Royal Palace stands as a living monument to Bali’s artistic heritage. Just a short walk away, the Pura Taman Saraswati temple enchants visitors with its lotus-filled pond and intricate carvings, an elegant reminder of the island’s deep spiritual roots.

In Ubud, dining is a journey through taste, tradition, and creativity. From family-run warungs to elegant restaurants set among rice fields, the town’s dining scene invites you to savour authentic Balinese flavours, bold fusions, and comforting local favourites at every turn. At Alaya Suites, this spirit is reflected through in-house dining at Carbón, a Latin American restaurant centred around open fire, and BBB, a relaxed corner offering coffee, comfort dishes, and grilled cuts by the gram. As part of the broader Alaya experience, Alaya Grounds features a curated selection of dining spots just moments away.
