Cretya Ubud – Swim Above the Rice Terraces
If you have ever seen those dreamy Bali pool photos surrounded by endless green rice terraces, there is a good chance you have seen Cretya Ubud.
Located within the Alas Harum area in Tegallalang, Cretya became known for its multi-level infinity pools overlooking Bali’s famous rice terraces. The combination of tropical greenery, stylish architecture, poolside relaxation, and scenic views makes it one of those places that instantly screams Bali holiday.
A Pool With a View
The biggest reason people visit Cretya is simple: the view is insane.
The pools are built across different levels, creating beautiful perspectives over the surrounding rice terraces and tropical landscape. You can swim, relax on the poolside, or simply enjoy the view while taking photos.
And honestly, you do not need to be a professional photographer here. The scenery is already doing most of the work for you.
More Than Just an Instagram Spot
While Cretya is definitely popular on social media, the experience goes beyond taking photos.
Visitors can enjoy food, drinks, pool areas, hammocks, cabanas, and different seating options while spending the day surrounded by nature.
It is especially nice for travelers who want to combine sightseeing with some serious relaxation.
Make It a Full Ubud Day
Cretya is located in the Tegallalang area, making it easy to combine with other attractions around Ubud and the surrounding rice terraces.
You can spend your morning exploring Ubud, visit the rice terraces, and then end the day by the pool. Basically, adventure in the morning, main-character pool day in the afternoon.
Important Visitor Information
There is one important update for travelers: Cretya Ubud’s official website currently states that the day club is closed until further notice.
Because operating status can change, visitors should check the official website before including Cretya in a current itinerary.
