PURI SARASWATI BUNGALOWS
Ubud - Bali

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.

ABOUT PURI 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.

ROOMS
Choose between Deluxe or Superior room accommodations. All rooms are light, airy and well lit with desks, a private dining table and a large secluded veranda. Some rooms offer high, peaked Balinese ceilings. Views include the tropical garden, swimming pool or the Lotus Pond.

• Deluxe rooms are individually air conditioned, with newly renovated and furnished interiors, large, private verandas and bathrooms designed in marble or terrazzo.
  
  
• Superior rooms offer ceiling fans, newly renovated and furnished interiors, private verandas and attractive marble bathrooms.

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 be as much a part of this as they choose, perhaps as an observer, perhaps as a participant.

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.
