As the artistic centre of the island, you will find silversmiths, stone carvers, and painters in Ubud. Situated about an hour’s drive from the bustling southern portion of the island, Ubud offers visitors many cultural gems and close encounters with nature.

There is no shortage of sights to discover while visiting the area. Rich with history, Ubud is where the Royal Palace is located. Other sights also include The Sacred Monkey Forest and the famous Art Market along with its many temples and natural wonders. In keeping with the Balinese reverence for nature and trying to preserve it, here are some eco-friendly hotels in Ubud, Bali, for visitors to check out prior to booking a vacation to Ubud.

1. Swasti Eco Cottages (from USD 85)

While you enjoy your beautiful surroundings in this serene retreat just steps from the Monkey Forest, the Swasti family is working hard to preserve the natural beauty of Ubud through various eco-friendly programs. Here are some of their contributions to that cause. They farm half of their land to grow organic food for their guests to enjoy at their cafe during their stay and for breakfast which is served in the room each morning. The staff also raises goats, ducks, sheep, and rabbits to keep the land fertile for the organic produce.

The beautiful cottages are built using 100% recycled Java wood to help preserve Indonesian forests. Organic waste is composted while other wastes that can’t be recycled, are forwarded to Eco Bali. While enjoying that nice cool glass of water in the humid climate, you can feel good that it has been triple-filtered to help out the environment. As you enjoy your retreat to the fullest, you can rest assured that Swasti is helping keep this beautiful part of the world like this for years to come by each eco-friendly step they take.
