Ubud is known as the cultural center of Bali. It is only fitting, then, that The Chedi Club Tanah Gajah Ubud, one of the best luxury hotels in the heart of Ubud, presents the famous Kecak Fire Dance featuring a dance group of local villagers followed by an epic Royal Balinese Dinner.
As opposed to the crowded venue of Uluwatu, this exclusive performance in the comfort and luxury of The Chedi Club Tanah Gajah Ubud allows you front row seats to capture every moment of the chanting and choreography from the 50 to 70 performers on the hotel’s outdoor amphitheater.
Immediately following the conclusion of the dance, guests are invited to transfer to The Restaurant for a Royal Balinese Dinner feast. From the video above, you can see how the main course dishes are ceremoniously served on the heads of the servers adding to the feel of a “royal” dinner.
Along with the Indonesian flavors, the whole evening is capped with the perfect ambiance by the rice terraces and Bali’s evening air making this dance and dinner one of the highlights of your stay in Ubud.
