Ubud has long been considered by international travelers as the cultural capital of Bali. Ubud was once a quiet, traditional market town, home to some of the island’s finest artists and artisans.
Nowadays, Ubud is a busy and bustling tourism hotspot, but the cultural significance of the town still reigns strong.
ARMA Museum and Resort is one of Ubud’s most significant heritage hotels. Sprawling over six hectares of simply stunning Balinese gardens, the ambiance at the ARMA Museum and Resort feels like you’re taking a step back in time.
Evidently, more than a place to lay one’s head during a visit to central Bali, ARMA Museum and Resort is a living monument to Balinese art, culture, and architecture.
The hotel makes for a pretty sophisticated getaway too.

The museum, restaurant, shop, and cultural shows at ARMA Museum and Resort are accessible to non-guests and day visitors.

The Rindik workshop is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. The rindik is one of the instruments used in a traditional Balinese orchestra, known as a gamelan.
During the workshop, guests get to grips with the basics of playing the rindik, which involves beating the different-length bamboo tubes that are bound together to make the instrument.
During a visit to Bali, it is almost impossible not to fall in love with the rich sounds of a gamelan orchestra playing late into the evening at a nearby temple. This truly is the sound of Bali.

I had thoughts about a trip to Bali in June of this year.I decided to join a group run by an Australian woman who resides permanently in Legian.The best idea she could suggest for things to do was to go to the midget wrestling at the Y Sports bar. Seriously that would be the one thing I would never consider doing.I have been coming to Bali since the late 70’s,and know a number of the long term expatriates,and yes it is 6 years since I was last there,but I find this disgusting.I’ll still probably come,but will stay away from the cheap beer and midget wresting.I mean honestly it’s hardly a Balinese activity. How this gross behaviour is allowed is beyond me.

@BaliDuck, If you want disgusting, rent a scooter and drive around in the villages and watch them cut down a 700year old holy tree for firewood because it's blocking the radio tower.

@Rod Wilkinson, Go to a disgusting beach club: Take selfies and stare at your phone all the time- just like all the other narcissists.

@Rod Wilkinson, If the wrestling is not for you they also offer "midget fun boxing". I'm more relaxed about this and look at this as a way for little people to make a living.
