Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated July 2026
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.

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.

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.
★ 9.5 Hotelier's Choice score, 40+ criteria · Many rooms include free cancellation
Nusa Dua
A beachfront mega-resort that somehow doesn't feel corporate. The infinity pool is one of Asia's largest, the beach is pristine, and the all-day dining has more variety than most food courts. Families will never want to leave.
★ 9.3 Hotelier's Choice score, 40+ criteria · Many rooms include free cancellation
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.
★ 9.2 Hotelier's Choice score, 40+ criteria · Many rooms include free cancellation
Seminyak — Petitenget
The hotel arm of Bali's most famous beach club. Desso Potato Head is an architectural marvel — Kengo Kuma's wooden lattice rising from a working rice paddy. Suites are spacious and design-forward, and the beach club access is the real draw.
