Ananda Cottages

Just north of Ubud proper, Ananda Cottages is atmospheric enough for the Balinese experience you're hoping for, yet situated far enough from the town center to discourage the tourist hordes. The rice fields and thatched cottages of this bungalow campus are almost more "Balinese" than real villages you might visit (where you'll now find TVs instead of shrines, and power machines instead of hand tools). Ananda is also a spiritual place for yoga and meditation programs run every first and third week of the month; music and dance lessons are available from time to time. The cottages are brick huts with bamboo pavilion roofs. Downstairs rooms are the better choice, with outdoor tubs and patio living rooms. Upstairs rooms have modern bathrooms and small verandas. The small pool is set on an interesting raised rice terrace. The three new deluxe bungalows are very cozy and well worth the outlay.
