Complete Guide to the Alas Harum Group in Ubud, Bali: Swings, Rice Terraces, Infinity Pools, and Sunset Jacuzzis Made Simple
The Tegallalang rice terrace area in Ubud, Bali, has been completely taken over by one name in recent years: Alas Harum Bali. From Instagram-worthy swings, sky bikes, and zip lines to a three-tiered infinity pool and luwak coffee experiences, it packs nearly all of Ubud’s top attractions into a single complex. What’s more, this group is still expanding, with distinct brands like Cretya Ubud, Cretya Lite, Cretya Sunset, and Alasan Adventures under its umbrella. If you’re planning an Ubud itinerary, this guide will break down the entire Alas Harum group in one go.
1. What is Alas Harum Bali?
Alas Harum is located in the heart of the Tegallalang rice terraces (Jl. Raya Tegallalang, Tegallalang, Kec. Tegallalang, Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 80561), about a 20-minute drive from central Ubud. It’s essentially a ‘rice terrace theme park’—set against a backdrop of terraced fields, it combines thrill rides, photo spots, a coffee plantation, and dining pools. The park features the largest civet cat statue in Indonesia and serves as the flagship location for the group.
The name ‘Alas Harum’ comes from Indonesian, but in Bali’s cultural context, it also carries deeper meaning.
Language and Literal Meaning
‘Alas Harum’ is Indonesian, literally meaning ‘fragrant forest’.
Cultural Significance in Bali
This term carries another layer of cultural meaning in Bali. It is also the name of a traditional Balinese musical piece, performed during Wayang shadow puppet shows, typically played at the opening of the Mahabharata epic. Thus, ‘Alas Harum’ is not just a literal ‘fragrant forest’ but also embodies local art and cultural traditions.
Ticket Prices
On Klook, Alas Harum Bali boasts 969 reviews and over 20,000 participants, making it one of the most popular Klook experiences in Ubud.
Open daily from 07:00–19:00, the basic entrance ticket plus coffee tour costs around 75,000 Indonesian Rupiah, but this only covers entry—all rides and pools require additional fees or a package ticket. Last entry is one hour before closing. Bags are checked at the entrance; food and drinks are temporarily confiscated and returned upon exit.
Must-Try Attractions and Facility Specs
Bali Swing
This is Alas Harum’s signature attraction, offering over 15 different swing heights to choose from. According to Klook and related page specs:
- Super Extreme Swing: 25 meters above the ground
- Extreme Swing: 15 meters above the ground
- Single Angel Swing: Designed with floral motifs and angel statues, swinging from a height of 20 meters
- Couple’s Swing: Equipped with a double safety harness, soaring up to 45 meters above the ground for panoramic views of Bali’s iconic rice terraces
Each swing session includes 15 pushes lasting about 3–4 minutes, with a weight requirement of 35–150 kg for all swing types.
Sky Bike
After fastening your safety harness, cycle along a cable 15 meters above the ground, spanning 30 meters, offering sweeping views of the rice terraces. Participants must be at least 165 cm tall, with a weight limit of 35–90 kg.
Flying Fox
A 300-meter zipline with two launch points, offering a bird’s-eye view over rice paddies and jungle. Participants must be at least 150 cm tall, with a weight limit of 35–100 kg; the minimum age for tandem riding is 5 years old.
Giant Bird’s Nest & Glass Viewing Platform
These are free photo spots. The park also features creative installations like the Dance Bridge. The Instagram-worthy bird’s nest seating and transparent glass platforms, set against a backdrop of terraced rice paddies, are the easiest places to capture stunning shots.

▲ The gorilla cave is also a popular photo spot
Luwak Coffee Experience The coffee plantation within the park offers a free guided tour where you can see civet cats (Luwak) up close and learn the entire process of making civet coffee—from coffee cherries, through civet digestion, to roasting. You can also sample a variety of coffees and teas for free. Tasting the civet coffee itself requires an additional fee.
2. Klook Booking Guide: Package Options & Prices
Why Book on Klook?

This means Klook’s package prices are usually more affordable than buying on-site, and the booking process is simple with instant confirmation. Klook’s page shows prices starting from Rp 70,000.

3. Cretya Ubud: The Infinity Pool Overlooking Rice Terraces
Cretya Ubud is located within the Alas Harum complex, featuring a three-tier infinity pool area that directly overlooks the Tegallalang rice terraces. It operates as a “Day Club,” transitioning from a serene photo-taking spot in the morning to a DJ-led pool party vibe in the afternoon. Opening hours are daily from 07:00 to 21:00.
Payment Methods
Cretya Ubud operates on a “first drink” system: approximately IDR 220,000 per person, which includes the entrance fee and can be redeemed for one drink. The pool area is restricted to adults 18 and over. Sunbeds and hammocks have a minimum spend requirement, starting from around IDR 2,000,000–3,500,000, fully redeemable for food and drinks.
Real Reviews
Positive reviews highlight the stunning rice terrace views, the photogenic floating breakfast, and the fact that “your phone’s memory will run out from all the photo angles.” The general consensus on Reddit is: if you’re just going for photos, go in the morning and skip booking a sunbed; but if you plan to stay for several hours, reserving a sunbed is much more comfortable. Negative reviews mainly cite the high prices, the touristy vibe, and that “the food isn’t as impressive as the views.”
4. Cretya Sunset: The Group’s Latest Masterpiece
Cretya Sunset is the latest venture from the Alas Harum Group following the success of Cretya Ubud. Located in Bresela, Payangan (Jl. Raya Bresela No. 8, Keliki, Tegalalang), it’s about a 15-minute drive from central Ubud and is a different location from Cretya Ubud. Officially positioned as “Ubud’s first Jacuzzi day club,” its core appeal is the combination of rice field views, Jacuzzis, and sunset. Opening hours are 08:00–22:00, with DJ performances from Thursday to Sunday.
Seating & Minimum Spend Structure
| Area | Minimum Spend | Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Resto Area (No Minimum) | IDR 0 | For dining only, no pool minimum |
| Jacuzzi Tower (Single) | IDR 500,000 | Individual Jacuzzi tower experience |
| Poolside Daybed | IDR 1,000,000 | 1–4 people |
| Jacuzzi-side Daybed | IDR 2,000,000 | 1–5 people |
| Karana Lounge | IDR 3,000,000 | Up to 15 people sharing |
| Private Jacuzzi Tower | IDR 10,000,000 | Up to 15 people, includes private area & Sangria |
All minimum spending amounts are fully redeemable for food and beverages. If you don’t reserve a seat, you can purchase a Sunset Day Pass (IDR 127,500/person), which includes one beer and a towel, but no seat—seating is first-come, first-served.
Note: Children are allowed in the pool area (must be accompanied by an adult), but the Jacuzzi area is adults only.
Best Time to Visit
Official guide recommends: If sunset is your main goal, be sure to arrive early. The light is best for photos from afternoon to early evening, but afternoon traffic in Ubud is unpredictable, so allow extra time and arrange your return trip in advance.

5. Other Ventures Under the Group
Beyond Alas Harum Bali, Cretya Ubud, and Cretya Sunset, the Alas Harum Group operates several other brands, with a total workforce of about 201–500 employees, headquartered in Gianyar and founded in 2016.
Cretya Lite A dining brand under the group specializing in Asian cuisine.

Alasan Adventures The group’s adventure activities brand. You can also find the Alasan Adventure ATV experience on Klook, offering thrilling off-road adventures in the Bresela Tegalalang area of Ubud, with prices starting from Rp 807,000.

6. Itinerary Suggestions
If you only have half a day: Explore the main Alas Harum area + Cretya Ubud pool. Arrive right at 7:00 AM opening time to capture the stunning rice terrace views and swing shots (avoiding the crowds), then tour the coffee plantation, and finally unwind at the Cretya Ubud pool.
If you have a full day: Spend the morning enjoying Alas Harum’s attractions and coffee experience, then head over to Cretya Sunset in the afternoon (about a 15–20 minute drive) to watch the sunset from the Jacuzzi. Note that these two spots are not located together, so you’ll need to arrange transportation.
Getting There: Alas Harum can be reached by private car, about 20–30 minutes from central Ubud. Cretya Sunset is located in the Payangan area—private car is recommended, and booking a ride back in the evening may take longer, so it’s best to arrange in advance.
What to Wear: White or light-colored long dresses paired with a straw hat look best against the rice terrace backdrop. Colorful costume rentals are also available on-site; one traveler shared, ‘You can rent a 5-meter-long dress for about $20 and take stunning swing photos that leave a lasting impression.‘
