Hospitals in Ubud: what is actually within reach

By Covered Abroad Research Desk · Last verified July 2026

Ubud has clinics and small hospitals rather than a major tertiary centre — the big referral hospitals are down in Denpasar, around an hour away depending on traffic. The US Consular Agency's list names several facilities in and around Ubud, and the important detail is geographic: Ubud sits in Gianyar regency, and a number of "Ubud" hospitals are in the surrounding regency rather than the town.

What the consular list names around Ubud

The maintained list worth using is the one the US Consular Agency in Bali keeps. In and around Ubud it names, among others:

  • Ari Canti Hospital — Jl. Raya Mas No. 69, Ubud, Gianyar
  • Bali International Medical Centre (BIMC) Ubud — Jl. Raya Sanggingan No. 21, Ubud
  • Kenak Medika Hospital Ubud — Jl. Raya Mas, Ubud, Gianyar
  • Ganesha Hospital — Jalan Raya Celuk, Sukawati, Gianyar
  • Kasih Ibu General Hospital — Jl. Pantai Saba, Saba, Gianyar

The list is curated rather than ranked, and it states its own limits — see below.

The geography is the part that matters in an emergency

Three of the facilities above are in Gianyar regency rather than Ubud town — Sukawati and Saba are closer to the coast than to the rice terraces.

That is not a criticism of them. It is a planning point: an address containing "Gianyar" can mean a materially different journey time from central Ubud, and Ubud's roads are narrow and frequently congested. Work out now which facility you would actually reach, rather than at the point of needing it.

For anything complex the answer is likely to be neither — the tertiary referral capacity is in Denpasar, and for the most serious cases the pathway leads offshore entirely.

Check my policy

Read the disclaimer, because it is the honest part

The consular list is explicit that it is not a recommendation: the agency "assumes no responsibility for their professional competence or integrity; however, the names are selected with care", and "the order in which they are listed has no significance".

Elsewhere on the same list the wording is firmer still — inclusion "is in no way an endorsement by the Department of State or the U.S. Embassy".

We are not going to rank them either. What we will say is that the practical question is rarely which hospital is best in the abstract — it is which one your insurer settles with directly.

What we can and cannot help with

To be clear about scope: we do not recommend individual hospitals, and nothing here is medical advice. We are an insurance introducer for international health and life cover for people.

What we can do is the cover behind the visit — in particular whether your insurer settles directly with the facility you end up at. Pre-existing conditions are excluded and cover is governed by the Regency Assurance policy wording.

Before you request a quote: cover is worldwide but excludes treatment in the United States, and pre-existing conditions are not covered — including conditions you did not know about. We say this up front so a quote is worth your time.

Common questions

Is there a hospital in Ubud?

There are clinics and small hospitals in and around Ubud, including Ari Canti, BIMC Ubud and Kenak Medika. The major referral hospitals are in Denpasar, roughly an hour away depending on traffic.

Where is the nearest major hospital to Ubud?

Denpasar holds Bali's tertiary capacity. Several facilities with Ubud or Gianyar addresses sit between the two, so the nearest by address is not always the nearest by journey time.

Do Ubud hospitals speak English?

The international-facing clinics serving foreign residents and visitors generally work in English. Language is usually less of a constraint than capability and whether your insurer settles directly with that facility.

Is the consular list a recommendation?

No. It states that the agency assumes no responsibility for professional competence or integrity, that names are selected with care, that the order has no significance, and that inclusion is in no way an endorsement.

What happens if I need serious treatment near Ubud?

Expect referral — to Denpasar for tertiary care, and offshore for the most complex cases, where the realistic destination from Bali is Singapore. That makes evacuation cover the part of a policy worth checking.
