Taman Ujung Water Palace lies just a short drive from Amed and Tulamben. This open-air royal estate offers a peaceful contrast to Bali’s jungle temples. Set against the sea, rice fields, and distant volcanoes, the palace stands as one of East Bali’s most graceful cultural landmarks.
🏯 A Glimpse into Bali’s Royal Past
The King of Karangasem built Taman Ujung in the early 1900s. He blended Balinese, Dutch, and Chinese architecture to create a space for royal retreats and ceremonies.
Although the 1963 eruption of Mount Agung and a 1979 earthquake nearly destroyed the complex, conservation efforts restored it. Today, the site reflects East Bali’s rich cultural heritage — offering visitors a tranquil setting for reflection and exploration.
