Where To Stay In Ubud For Solo Travellers

Ubud may be Bali’s cultural heart, but not every guesthouse here feels welcoming when you’re travelling solo.

As someone who’s explored Ubud alone more times than I can count, I know the mix of excitement and anxiety that comes with booking your stay. You want somewhere safe, walkable, clean, and affordable but you also crave connection, not just a quiet room tucked behind a rice field with no one to talk to.

In this post, I’ll walk you through the best places I’ve personally stayed as a solo traveller in Ubud. All vetted for comfort, community, and kindness. Whether you’re looking to chat with fellow travellers over breakfast, find a place that feels like family, or avoid the dreaded Bali belly without being stuck alone in your room, I’ve got you covered.

Let’s find you a spot that feels like home and helps you actually enjoy your solo trip, not just survive it..

Quick Overview: Best Solo-Friendly Places to Stay in Ubud

If you’re short on time or want the quick answer, here are my top picks at a glance. I’ve personally stayed at all of them, so you’re not just getting a list—you’re getting real insights from a fellow solo traveller!

#1 Pecatu Ubud Guest House

Excellent for: meeting people, breakfast, pool, watching the sunrise, family environment, local culture

Indicative price: $22 per night

Pecatu Ubud Guest House is 5 minutes away from the centre of Ubud (or let’s say Monkey Forest area). This is a lovely family-run place. You can chat with the owner, get invited to various ceremonies and she actually acts like a mum when things happen to you, which is super sweet.

My room was perfectly clean and had a small kitchen, which was handy for when I didn’t feel like going out. There is a beautiful swimming pool upstairs with a nice view over Ubud. On the same floor as the pool, they would also serve breakfast, which is delicious!

This neighbourhood is perfect if you want to see the local culture as well. There will be women carrying the offerings for a ceremony, children going to school, and lots of dogs and chickens. If you are open to it you can meet some really lovely travellers by the pool or over breakfast.

#2 Kebun Indah Ubud

Excellent for: meeting people, breakfast, pool, watching the sunrise, family environment, local culture

Indicative price: $51 per night

Kebun Indah Ubud is fancy! Incredibly beautiful and in the heart of Ubud. The pool has the best background (forest) and each room has a patio with amazing greenery. The resort is so central you can walk literally everywhere. My room came with a stunning bathroom as well which had a pond and was partially outdoors.

Well, if you are going during the rainy season, be prepared to share your bathroom with some visitors! The staff is lovely but also the nearby farmers. I literally talked to everyone and made lots of friends. I unfortunately had a Bali belly whilst I was there and the staff took me to the clinic. They even took shifts to visit me at the clinic so I was never alone.

#3 Nugraha Guest house 2

Excellent for: meeting people, breakfast, pool, watching the sunrise, family environment, local culture

Indicative price: $21 per night

Nugraha Guest House 2 is run by a lovely man. He is very sweet and always makes sure you are happy and fed.

The Balinese pancakes I had here were amazing so I’ve asked for the same breakfast every single day! There is also a pool to relax and it’s located quite central, nearby some really good places to eat.

#4 Merthayasa Bungalow 2

Excellent for: meeting people, breakfast, pool, watching the sunrise, family environment, local culture

Merthayasa Bungalow 2 is located between the Monkey Forest and Ubud Palace. It’s run by a lovely family and at the time I stayed there they even had 4 puppies which were amazing!

The rooms are spacious and are either facing the pool or the forest. The staff is really helpful if you want to plan any excursion or join any local event.

#6 Amoya Inn

Excellent for: meeting people, breakfast, pool, watching the sunrise, family environment

Indicative price: $64 per night

Amoya Inn is quite central but more towards Ubud Palace. It’s a good location if you want to explore the cultural side of Ubud and local restaurants/warungs. A warung is a traditional food stand or small restaurant.

My room had probably the best view I’ve ever had in Ubud. There were many glass sliding doors, and it was on the top floor. I could even see the monkeys playing and jumping between trees!

The staff is lovely and super helpful. I even lost my passport in Lombok (true and embarrassing story), and they helped me track it down!

My list above contained mainly guesthouses and other family-run businesses. If you are looking for a hotel to stay alone, I would highly recommend Anumana Ubud Hotel.

It’s the by far best hotel for female solo travellers in Ubud! I felt super spoiled, never feeling lonely and the staff is very caring. Other things I loved were definitely the pool (biiiiig one!), massages and the breakfast buffet.

The food was so delicious I ended up eating there a few more times for lunch and dinner. Sounds lazy, but it was my first time in Bali and I loved being there, it felt very familiar. They also have cultural shows and dances at the restaurant!

👉 Check rooms at Anumana Ubud Hotels, you will love it! It’s also right next to the Monkey Forest. In the morning, I used to get monkeys visiting my balcony!
