A lot things that you can do in this quite tiny place, it's even better now after they renovated it last time about 2-3 years ago. The glory and serenity are felt here strongly, there are few ponds where you can feed fish, they are huge! And if the day is hot, I prefer to chill in one of two... More

If you are visiting Bali, you absolutely MUST stop by here. We stopped by here for half the afternoon, took a swim in their clearwater pool and enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. I definitely plan on coming back here one day!

A bit hidden and hard to find, it is east of the Ubud Palace right next to Starbucks. Probably due to its hidden location, there weren't nearly as many people here as there was in the Ubud Palace.

Cold air welcomes visitors who come to this place. Water which flows directly from springs makes swimming pool very challenging to try. Cool and very atmosphere pleasurable. There is a restaurant that offers good food with great scenery to the Water Palace Tirtagangga . Price of food is quite expensive but the food served does not disappointing.
