🌿 Discover Penestanan — The Hidden Gem of Ubud, Bali
If you love Ubud but want quiet mornings, jungle air, and rice-field walks, Penestanan is the sweet spot — close to everything, yet peacefully hidden.
Why Stay in Penestanan
1) Close to Ubud, Yet Calm
Penestanan sits on the western edge of Ubud, giving you cafés, markets, and temples within minutes — and a quiet jungle retreat to come home to. Many travelers describe it as “old Ubud”: intimate, green, and relaxed.
2) Rice-Field Paths & Jungle Views
Stroll the Penestanan rice-field paths at sunrise, watch farmers tending their plots, and feel the breeze roll in from the ravines. It’s not just a view — it’s a living landscape right outside your door.
3) Wellness & Creative Energy
Penestanan has a gentle, artistic pulse. You’ll find open-air studios and yoga shalas under bamboo roofs, plus local healers offering sound baths and bodywork.
