Top 10 Classes & Workshops in Ubud, Bali
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.

We had a wonderful afternoon making jewellery with the team at Chez Monique. This class is more about making a piece of jewellery than learning lots of different techniques - in case anyone has expectations of formal learning. We were very happy with the session and instruction needed to make our pieces. The team were very helpful, and very patient when I decided to make quite a complex pendant! We weren’t concerned about the price (that seems to be a comment on some of the more negative posts here) - we had specific ideas of what we wanted to make and even though Wayan informed us it would cost a little more prior, we were happy as we would pay similar prices (if not more) for a shop bought piece. I was really happy with my finished piece and Wayan was so lovely to chat with. Thank you!

Ketut's cooking class is an experience for all senses. It starts of your morning fix of smell of the local produce in the Ubud market with probably the best guides in the area. Back at the class ketut provides a great insight into Balinese cuisine.

We had such a great time. We called last minute for an afternoon session and were there for about three hours. It’s a family business and they’re all lovely, super patient and helpful without being overbearing. Highly recommended as a way of engaging with a traditional Indonesian cultural art form and also as an activity off the beaten path and a way to relax for an afternoon in the middle of a busy, activity-filled trip. And we left with our beautiful, handmade batik pieces!

We were picked up at the airport by Pak Deking’s son and driven to their family home for the batik class. Had an excellent time at this family run batik class. Enclaved in an oasis of calm just a short turn from the main Jalan Raya Bedulu. Pak Deking was the main man in charge: walked us through patiently the batik process from design selection, to explaining the process of batik: drawing/tracing designs with hot wax, adding paragon, wrinkling, colour selection (was a little of a confusing process as different colour bases had to be matched to obtain the right colour), adding parafin again to protect colour, boiling and washing out the dye for the final product. Tea break was homemade banana fritters with shaved coconut pieces and palm sugar-super yums! My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our day and it was the best introduction to Bali culture and hospitality! Even transport back to Seminyak was arranged for our convenience.

My friend and I throughly enjoyed our cooking class at Janbangan Bali Cooking School. We were fortunate enough to have a private class and tour of the market, as we were the only people registered for the morning class. The entire family was welcoming and kind, taking time to answer all our many questions. It was very rewarding to consume the food we had prepared. Everything was very easy to prepare with the help from our lovely local cooking assistants. Thanks for the lovely experience. I would highly recommend others go to Jambangan Bali Cooking School too.
