Peliatan is a village in Central Bali. It was once the seat of an offshoot of the royal family of Sukawati, renowned patrons of the arts. Peliatan has been recognised for its artistic traditions even before Ubud gained prominence.

The gamelan and dance troupes from Peliatan have gained international prominence, and have traveled abroad representing Bali. In addition to its performing arts, Peliatan is also a center for fine arts and handicrafts, particularly woodpainting.

To the south of Peliatan is the Agung Rai Museum of Art, established by Balinese collector Agung Rai. The museum, housed in three buildings, exhibits contemporary Balinese and Indonesian art.
