Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Seminyak — Jalan Kayu Aya
The grande dame of Seminyak, recently refreshed. Every suite faces the Indian Ocean, the three-tier pool is one of Bali's best sunset perches, and the location puts you walking distance from Seminyak's best restaurants and boutiques.
Ubud — Sayan
John and Cynthia Hardy's eco-compound of reclaimed Javanese bridal houses. No TVs, bamboo everything, a natural swimming pool, and an ethos that puts sustainability first without sacrificing comfort. The most soulful hotel in Bali.
Ubud — Sayan Valley
You arrive by crossing a bridge over the treetops into a lotus-pond roof. Below, thatched villas cascade down the Ayung River valley. The spa is one of the world's best, and the cooking class using ingredients from the hotel's garden is transcendent.
Ubud — Jalan Bisma
A Balinese-owned resort on Ubud's trendiest street. The valley-view infinity pool, the morning yoga sessions, and the traditional Balinese cooking classes make this the perfect mid-range Ubud choice. Authenticity without the backpacker vibe.
Ubud — Keliki
Tented luxury in the jungle canopy. Bill Bensley designed each tent as a theatrical set piece — clawfoot bathtubs, campaign furniture, and private plunge pools perched above the Wos River. The most imaginative hotel in Southeast Asia.
Uluwatu — Pecatu
Clifftop minimalism by WOHA architects. Cantilevered villas with private pools overlook the Indian Ocean from 100 metres up. The three-tier infinity pool defies gravity, and the spa treatments happen in open-air pavilions with ocean wind.
