Ubud King Palace

Puri Saren or King Palace Ubud is located in Gianyar regency of Bali province. Located in the heart of Ubud. By the end of monkey forest street up to north. on the right side of king palace, there is a traditional market. a short stroll to Puri Lukisan Museum, Lotus Cafe, Casa Luna Restaurant, art performance stage and many other dining and entertainmentvenue in central Ubud, Puri Saren Agung has easy access to most of interesting places in Baliand only 1,5 hours drive from Ngurah Rai Airport. Puri Saren Agung is the place where Ubud’s long tradition of home stays all began, more than 80 years ago, When Bali first started to attract bohemian artists from around the world. Renting one of five traditional stone bungalows in the sumptuous royal courtyard is still quite an experience, and every night the palace comes alive with the sound of Gamelan music as Balinese dances are performed just across the wall from Puri Saren Ubud.

Important To Keep Cultural Integrity In a Cultural Destination

This is serious question which need taken seriously. Why did you come to Bali?
Just 20 years ago there was no doubt that people come here for, what I call, the right seasons: Culture , Art, Beach, Sea and sightseeing, but since then the season have become blurred as the support industries: Restaurants, Clubs, Bars, amusement centers, shop, spas and park, have grown to the point that they have become the primary reasons that many people come here!

In Fact, if you come to Bali and stay in Nusa Dua, Kuta, Seminyak, Legian, Jimbaran or even the bukit you may not see even a trace of “Real Bali” during your whole stay
There used to be rule that all hotels , shops, villas, well everything. had to be designed using Balinese architecture and motifs, but this has totally been ignored in recent years as “development” outpaced regulation and enforcement. So most of the buildings, road, infrastructure in the south of Bali, have little connection with the cultural and architectural norms of Bali.
This is not say that many of the new establishments are not of the highest quality, they are, but they are not Balinese, and make no attempt to be. this type of contrary development is not visible in Rome or Paris, where building code regulations are strictly observed. There are no African village in the middle of Edinburgh or Japanese temple in Amsterdam. It is very important to keep cultural integrity in a cultural Destination. Sadly, Bali has lost that in the south and is in danger of losing it everywhere. “Real Bali” is in serious danger of being covered over by “New” Bali.
I do not know if you are unhappy with what you have found here. Maybe not, and I certainly hope not, since as I said, many “out of context” establishment are really very good. But for me, I loved “old real” Bali with its astonishing culture, evident everywhere and beutiful as yet unspoiled nature. But if it is modern life you are looking for me, Bali has in it buckets. If it is real Bali, It is still there if you look for it.
