ABOUT PURI SARASWATI BUNGALOWS
This intimate 18-room 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 poolside or directly to rooms.
The Bungalows are set back from 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.
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 verypossible they will be invited
to participate in temple ceremonies with the family.
 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.
LOCATION OF PURI SARASWATI UBUD
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.
Guests at the Bungalows are in the very heart of Ubud's activities,
where dance, gamelan and shadow puppetry performances occur nightly,
excellent restaurants are steps away, art and handicraft galleries
proudly exhibit their work, and the magical music and color of temple
processions pass at the doorstep.
