The Bali airport to Ubud route starts at Denpasar Airport (DPS), Ubud’s nearest airport, about 29 km away in a straight line; the road distance is longer. Ubud has no airport of its own, so Denpasar Airport is the airport to use for this trip.

Ways to get from the airport to Ubud


A private transfer booked ahead suits travellers who want a planned pickup, families with luggage, and anyone arriving after a long flight. A driver can meet you in arrivals and take you directly to your accommodation. A taxi from the airport rank is useful if you prefer to arrange transport after landing, although you should confirm the destination and any details before leaving the rank. Public transport can suit independent travellers travelling light, but routes, connections, payment methods and availability can change, so check current information with the airport or relevant operator. A hire car gives you more freedom for exploring Bali, but suits confident drivers who are comfortable with local traffic, navigation and parking.

Booking a private transfer


Have your booking confirmation, flight details, accommodation name and a reachable contact method ready. Follow the arrival instructions for the meeting point and look for the driver or agreed sign once you have collected your luggage. Give the provider your flight information so they can advise what happens if the flight is late or delayed, and check how to contact them after landing. Tell them about the amount and size of your luggage when booking. If you need a child or infant car seat, request it in advance and confirm availability, as arrangements vary.

Ubud to Denpasar Airport


For the Ubud to dps airport journey, arrange pickup from your hotel or accommodation and confirm where the vehicle can stop. Leave plenty of time for the road journey, traffic and airport procedures, especially if your accommodation is on a narrow or busy access road. Check your airline’s advice before leaving, including the recommended arrival arrangements and any documents you need. A pre-booked transfer offers a set pickup plan, while a taxi or other local transport may suit travellers who prefer to decide closer to departure. Confirm the pickup details with your accommodation and transport provider before setting off.
