Ubud Palace (Puri Saren Agung)

This royal residence remains the heart of Ubud, blending ornate Balinese architecture with lived-in palace authenticity where the royal family still resides. Wandering through its open courtyards adorned with intricate stone carvings and lush gardens offers an intimate glimpse into Balinese royal culture without the stuffiness of a museum. The palace serves as a cultural anchor for the town, hosting traditional ceremonies and maintaining the artistic spirit that defines Ubud.
