Puri Gangga Resort Ubud: Harmony of Nature, Culture, and Wellness in Bali

Nestled in the peaceful village of Sebatu, just 30 minutes from central Ubud and Kintamani, Puri Gangga Resort Ubud offers more than a luxury stay—it offers a meaningful journey into the heart of Bali.

Surrounded by lush tropical greenery, rice fields, sacred temples, and the timeless rhythm of village life, Puri Gangga Resort has become a preferred destination for travelers seeking tranquility, culture, and authentic Balinese hospitality. Over the years, the resort has established itself as a place where nature, culture, and wellness come together in perfect harmony.

More than simply a resort, Puri Gangga embraces a deeper philosophy rooted in Balinese living. It reflects the spirit of Sebatu Village, a place known for its spiritual energy, rich traditions, and strong cultural heritage.

With its tagline, “A Home in A Living Culture: Balinese Cultures Live Naturally in the Village of Sebatu,” Puri Gangga invites guests to experience Bali beyond tourism—to discover Bali as it is lived every day.

The large pool features clear turquoise water with a stone deck to the right. On the deck, there is a row of wooden sun loungers with crisp white towels and vibrant red decorative pillows, positioned under matching red umbrellas. In the distance, traditional thatched-roof villas and an open-air bar/dining area can be seen among the palm trees.

  • Authentic village life

Unlike busier tourist destinations, Sebatu offers a peaceful atmosphere where guests can reconnect with nature and themselves.
