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!

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.
