Bali airport to Ubud

Ubud is the most asked-about airport transfer: it sits in the centre of the island, around 35-40 km from the airport by road.

The drive usually takes around 1 to 1.5 hours. Traffic around the airport and Denpasar is the big variable: the busiest times are roughly 7-9 AM and 4-7 PM, when the trip can take noticeably longer. Late-evening and early-morning arrivals are usually the quickest.

Your options from the airport are a pre-booked private transfer like ours, the official airport taxi counter, or the Grab and Gojek apps. A pre-booked transfer means your driver is waiting when you land, the price is agreed before you fly, and there’s room planned for your luggage.

Ubud is inside our included pick-up area. Ask for an Ubud transfer quote.
