Bali is a tropical dream that draws in travelers with its lush landscapes, vibrant culture, and world-famous hospitality. But before you pack your bags and head for the Island of the Gods, there are a few things you should know to make the most of your stay—especially if you’re planning a stop at The Jungle Club Ubud, one of Bali’s most stylish jungle hideaways.
Here’s your essential pre-travel guide to Bali, with everything you need to know before visiting—and why The Jungle Club Ubud deserves a top spot on your itinerary.
1. Visa & Entry Requirements
Bali offers Visa on Arrival (VOA) for travelers from many countries, including Australia, valid for 30 days and extendable once. Be sure to:
- Have a passport valid for at least 6 months
- Bring cash or a credit card to pay the VOA fee (IDR 500,000)
Tip: You can apply online before your trip to skip the queue at the airport.
2. The Best Time to Visit Bali
Bali has two main seasons:
- Dry Season (April to October): Perfect for outdoor adventures, beach clubs, and pool lounging.
- Wet Season (November to March): Expect afternoon showers, but also fewer crowds.
The Jungle Club Ubud is especially magical during the dry season when the multi-tiered infinity pools shimmer under the sun and the sunsets over the jungle are unforgettable.
3. Ubud Is Cooler—Literally
Unlike the hot beach towns, Ubud sits in the highlands, making it cooler and more refreshing. Even better? The Jungle Club Ubud is nestled on a lush hillside just outside the main hub, offering gentle breezes and jungle views that make lounging even more luxurious.
4. Yes, You Can Escape the Crowds
If you’re looking to avoid Bali’s more crowded areas like Seminyak or central Ubud, The Jungle Club offers a more serene side of Bali—just 40 minutes from Canggu and tucked away from the noise. It’s the perfect base if you’re after privacy, panoramic views, and upscale daybed lounging.
5. Cash Is Still King in Many Places
While Bali is increasingly digital, many smaller cafes, markets, and transport providers still prefer cash. Carry small denominations of Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) for convenience. Most high-end venues, like The Jungle Club, accept cards and offer seamless billing.
6. Dress Modestly at Temples, Stylishly at The Jungle Club
When visiting temples and local villages, modest attire is expected. Pack a sarong or rent one on-site. On the flip side, The Jungle Club Ubud is your chance to go full boho-chic, so don’t forget your flowy dresses, stylish swimwear, and sunnies.
7. Book Your Jungle Daybed in Advance
To get the most out of your time at The Jungle Club, advance booking is highly recommended—especially for daybeds and sunset slots. The club’s panoramic views, handcrafted cocktails, and photogenic corners are in high demand, particularly for golden hour.
8. Wellness Is a Way of Life
Bali is known for its wellness culture—and The Jungle Club embraces it beautifully. Enjoy dry massages from the comfort of your daybed, surrounded by tropical sounds and the scent of nature. It’s the ultimate jungle spa experience, no walls or spa robes required.
9. Transportation: Getting There
Taxis and scooters are common in Bali, but for Ubud—and especially to reach places like The Jungle Club—a private driver or ride-hailing app is your best bet. The scenic drive from Canggu or Seminyak takes just under an hour and gives you a taste of Bali’s rural charm.
10. Bali Moves at Its Own Pace
The vibe in Bali is relaxed, and patience goes a long way. Embrace the pace, unplug, and let yourself fully enjoy the immersive jungle ambiance that The Jungle Club Ubud was designed for.
Final Thought: Make The Jungle Club Part of Your Bali Story
Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning Bali lover, The Jungle Club Ubud is a must for those seeking a more elevated, immersive, and picturesque side of the island. From lounging poolside in the jungle to sipping cocktails at sunset, it’s a luxury day escape you won’t want to leave.
