Where
to
begin?
IBAH
has
become
my
favourite
place
to
stay
at
in
Bali.
My
first
stay
was
in
February
2023.
I
work
overseas
on
an
8
weeks
in,
1-2
weeks
out
contract.
In
February,
I
made
a
last-minute
decision
to
come
to
Bali
and
saw
that
the
one
bedroom
pool
villa
at
IBAH
was
available.
All
of
the
reviews
describing
it
as
a
secret
garden/hidden
sanctuary
still
close
to
the
heart
of
Ubud
caught
my
eye.
I
was
dealing
with
an
extended
period
of
burnout
and
looking
for
the
perfect
place
in
Bali
to
rest
and
reset.
The
pictures
of
the
pool
and
all
of
the
beautiful
stonework
and
greenery
were
the
final
seller.
So
with
one
weekβs
notice
I
booked
the
one
bed
pool
villa
π΄π§π»ββοΈI
had
such
an
amazing
time
that
I've
stayed
here
twice
again
this
year,
and
I
know
Iβll
be
back!
π
Everything:
the
service,
the
rooms,
the
atmosphere,
the
location:
is
perfect
and
if
you
are
looking
for
an
oasis
to
rest,
relax,
and
use
as
a
springboard
to
explore
the
rest
of
Ubud,
you
won't
be
disappointed.
IBAH
is
family-run
and
even
by
Balinese
standards,
the
staff
are
so
warm
and
friendly
and
will
make
you
feel
at
home.
Service
is
10/10
and
you
can
reach
the
front
desk
anytime
through
WhatsApp,
very
easy
communication.
The
landscaping
on
the
grounds
is
incredible
and
you
can
see
nature
really
thriving.
You
don't
have
to
worry
too
much
about
bugs
as
the
geckos,
water
monitor
lizards,
and
birds
keep
them
at
bay!
Otherwise
the
sounds
of
the
river
running
nearby
and
singing
birds
add
to
this
beautiful
gem.
There
are
yoga
studios
like
Intuitive
Flow,
Alchemy,
and
Ubud
Yoga
House
nearby,
but
you
might
want
to
just
stay
and
do
your
yoga
/
meditation
practice
outside
your
room,
and
soak
in
all
the
senses:
the
smell
of
incense,
chirping
of
birds
and
running
water,
maybe
the
faint
sound
of
a
gamelan
band
practicing,
etcβ¦
this
is
traditional
Balinese
charm
at
its
best
ππΌ
One
of
the
best
parts
is
proximity
to
Campuhan
Ridge.
Each
of
my
stays
has
been
about
a
week
long.
One
of
the
best
ways
to
start
the
day
is
a
sunrise
(or
shortly
after
sunrise)
walk
to
Campuhan
Ridge
before
it
gets
too
hot,
perhaps
through
to
Bangkiang
Sidem
village
to
admire
the
rice
fields,
and
come
back
for
breakfast
at
IBAH.
Then
the
pool
is
waiting
for
you.
During
my
second
visit
/
in
July
2023,
I
was
fortunate
enough
to
be
staying
during
at
IBAH
the
same
time
as
the
royal
cremation.
IBAH
took
care
to
leave
guests
notices
about
the
ceremony
in
their
room,
and
during
breakfast,
Tjok
Ibah
himself
was
walking
around
the
restaurant
personally
inviting
guests
to
observe
the
funeral
procession
and
cremation
at
the
temple.
It
was
a
once
in
a
lifetime
opportunity
and
I
was
so
grateful
to
have
witnessed
it!
IBAH
has
become
a
second
home
in
Bali
and
I
can't
wait
to
visit
more
in
the
future.
Thank
you
to
all
the
IBAH
staff
for
making
each
stay
so
special!
