After more than 40 years as one of Ubud's most beloved destinations, The Café Lotus proudly announces its re-awakening. This legendary venue beside the sacred Saraswati Temple has witnessed generations of travelers, artists, and cultural seekers, and now returns with renewed energy while honoring its timeless Balinese heritage.
Located alongside the enchanting lotus pond that has made it Ubud's living postcard, The Café Lotus has always been where authentic Balinese flavors meet cultural traditions, where guests gather to witness the beauty of dance, art, and community.
The re-awakening features a complete restaurant rebuild with refreshed design that carefully preserves every element of its authentic character. Traditional architectural details have been lovingly restored while new construction enhances the dining experience, all without compromising the venue's legendary authenticity. The refined culinary journey showcases traditional Balinese specialties, signature royal feasts, and contemporary inspirations crafted with local ingredients. The iconic stage once again comes alive with nightly Balinese dance performances set against the stunning backdrop of the sacred temple.
"The Café Lotus is more than a restaurant, it is part of Ubud's story. This re-awakening is a tribute to our roots and a promise to carry forward a tradition that connects food, art, and soul," said I Wayan Sudiarta, Resort Manager.
This revival coincides with the completion of Puri Saraswati Dijiwa Ubud's transformation, where all guest rooms have been fully renovated to blend heritage architecture with modern comfort. Together, the resort and its iconic restaurant create a complete cultural immersion experience steps away from Ubud Palace, the traditional Market, and historic Water Palace.
Guests can now experience the full circle of Ubud's essence. Mornings with breakfast overlooking the serene lotus pond, afternoons exploring cultural workshops in offering-making and dance, evenings filled with traditional performances, and wellness moments at Tirta Mandala Spa with authentic Balinese treatments. The Café Lotus returns refreshed and ready to welcome guests who wish to rediscover the essence of Ubud, where every bite, every dance, and every moment feels like stepping into living heritage.
