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 very possible 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 beas 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.
