Rated as one of the top five studios in Ubud, but quieter than the more well known Yoga Barn. There are 3-6 classes a day with a mix of gentler spiritual practices and meditation and more dynamic flows. Its set on a quiet lane with a beautiful view down to the valley.

Don’t be fooled by the simple exterior - you can get a really good massage at Namaste. The staff are skilled and professional. Handy to the villa, about 5 mins walk on the way up to the main road, opposite Dream Cafe.

Museums and galleries
Jalan Raya Penestanan, #8 - 15mins walk from Villa Tenang
Just up the road, Blanco Renaissance Museum is the home gallery and studio of the late Don Antonio Blanco, set overlooking the lush Campuan valley and the Wos river.
The Philippine-born artist was best known for his lithographic artworks of Balinese women but the museum also includes paintings, collages and illustrated poetry. Some of the works are nudes and some are quite provocative - it's not for everyone!

Neka Art Museum brings together artworks by renowned Balinese artists, and other Indonesian and foreign artists whose works were inspired by the natural beauty, life, and culture of Bali. The collection traces the evolution of traditional Balinese art and the influences of the many international artists who made Ubud their home.

Masks and puppets play an important role in Balinese and other Indonesian cultures. This collection of 1300 masks and 5700 puppets from different regions in Indonesia and around the world are housed in several antique traditional Indonesian joglos, or wooden houses. Set in a hectare of grounds, and including a coffee shop and gallery shop, this museum is well worth a visit.

Out and about - Activities and Tours
There are so many things to see and do around Ubud - there’s something for every interest and age group.
Visit temples and waterfalls, take a cooking class, or try your hand at making Balinese offerings or Balinese shadow puppets. Hit the mountain bikes or downhill cycling, go off-road quad-biking or white water rafting, or do a trek up Mt Batur to watch the sunrise. Visit the elephant park, the safari park, bird park or butterfly park. The team are happy to help with suggestions, and can making bookings for you.
This walk will take you through ricefields and local villages, with stunning views. The walk starts next to Warwick Ibah Luxury Villas, on the left just past the Campuhan bridge on the way into central Ubud. Go up the driveway to the villas, and take the fork to your left just before you get to the villas, then take the stairs on the right. It’s an almost flat walk with only a couple of stairs. You can either do an 8km loop, or return the way you came. There are a few cafes along the walk, but take water and a sun hat, as there is little shade. Ask the team for directions.
