Set among working rice paddies on the edge of Tegallalang, Vacav Ubud Rice Terrace Homestay is run by the Wayan family, who have farmed this land for four generations. The six bungalows are built from local ironwood and open onto private verandas facing the terraces — the view changes colour through the day and is at its best just after sunrise. Breakfast is cooked to order and served on your veranda: black rice pudding, fresh fruit from the garden, and Balinese coffee. The family runs free morning walks through the paddies and can arrange a cooking class in the open kitchen. Ubud's Monkey Forest, Campuhan Ridge and the Saturday art market are all within a 10-minute drive, and the homestay keeps two scooters available for guests at no charge.
