Bali and Ubud: local warungs, homestays and guest houses worth finding

Bali is more than beach clubs. Away from the busiest strips, family-run warungs and homestays are where many travellers find the island's warmth. Here are the places worth finding, with a map link for each.

By the Xuru Technologies team · 23 October 2026

Key takeaways

  • Base yourself in Ubud for rice terraces, temples and culture, and on the coast for surf and sunsets.
  • Warungs are small, often family-run eateries serving Balinese and Indonesian dishes.
  • Homestays let you stay inside a Balinese family compound and see daily life up close.
  • Every place below links to its Google Maps listing so you can check photos, hours and recent reviews.

Bali's beauty is in its contrasts: emerald rice terraces carved into hillsides, temples perched on sea cliffs, volcano sunrises and black-sand beaches. Daily offerings of flowers and incense sit on doorsteps and shrines across the island. The best way to feel it is to eat and sleep local.

Why these places are featured

We feature these local businesses to give them visibility and help travellers discover them. We use only public information (the business name and location) and link to each place's public Google Maps listing, where you can check photos, opening hours and recent reviews yourself. We are not paid by or affiliated with any of them. Own one of these places and want a change or removal? Message us and we will update it.

Ubud: rice terraces, temples and art

Ubud sits in Bali's green interior. Walk the Tegallalang rice terraces early in the morning, visit the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, and spend an evening at a traditional dance performance. It is also the island's centre for crafts, yoga and slow food.

Around the island: beaches, surf and sunsets

From Canggu and Seminyak to the cliffs of Uluwatu, the south and west coasts are made for sunsets. Inland, a pre-dawn hike up Mount Batur rewards you with a view over the caldera lake.

More homestays and guest houses

Small guest houses and villas across Bali often include breakfast, help with scooter hire and know the best local spots.

Run a guest house, café or restaurant in Indonesia?

Many of the places above are found mainly through booking apps and maps. A simple website of your own, with your photos, menu or rooms, location and a WhatsApp button, helps travellers plan their visit around you before they arrive. We build these for small hospitality businesses and will design a sample before you commit, with a fixed written quote.

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to visit Bali?

The dry season, roughly April to October, is the most popular. The wet season brings short heavy showers, greener landscapes and fewer visitors.

What is a warung?

A small, usually family-run eatery serving local dishes such as nasi campur, mie goreng and satay, often at modest prices.

Is a homestay a good choice in Bali?

Yes, if you want a local experience. Homestays are often set inside a family compound, with breakfast and helpful local advice.
