Things to do in Ubud, Bali: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

October 6, 2021 Darwin Bolte

The village cluster of Ubud is the ideal place to try a famed Balinese massage and soak up the ambiance of one of Asia’s top spa destinations. Acupressure, reflexology, stretching and aromatherapy star in the island's distinctively firm massage treatments. Ubud is also the vivacious center of Bali’s arts scene, home to a small treasure trove of museums and galleries. Monkey around at nearby nature reserve Monkey Forest Park, home to hundreds of mischievous long-tailed macaques. Don’t miss the valley of tomb cloisters at Gunung Kawi.

Threads of Life

Threads of Life is a fair trade business that uses culture and conservation to alleviate poverty in rural Indonesia. The heirloom-quality textiles and baskets we commission are made with local materials and natural dyes. With the proceeds from the Threads of Life gallery, we help weavers to form independent cooperatives and to manage their resources sustainably.

We bought some unusual items on a trip to Flores Island when we were there in 2012...one was a ceremonial piece from Sumba that they had only seen one other time...They had some nice weavings there for sale and the work they do there to encourage the tribes on the islands to use renewable sources for weaving and dyeing was very good as they were using commercial chemical dyes before and they were polluting and expensive as opposed to natural and renewable with only their labor instead of money...this was.around 2012..so disregard the years posted below....

Lovely place. Knowledgeable staff and good atmosphere. I purchased a gorgeous piece of fabric which was a silkscreened batik. Prices are higher than Ikat Batik but the fabric I purchased - enough for a dress, was reasonable, $35 Australian. Worth a visit.

Beautiful, and high-quality clothing to match. Very friendly staff. They can really take a joke ????. I generally have my Bali clothes that I wear when I am here, but not back in California - but the coat and shirts I just bought at ATC, I will be sporting all over California. I met the owner here when I was trying on a coat a couple of weeks ago. Her name is Charlotte. A very remarkable lady with quite a history in the fashion business. She gives great fashion advice. I thank her the crew at ABC for these Beautiful new clothes! I think they have 3 shops in Ubud. Sampai Jumpa Lagi ????
