Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Canggu — Batu Bolong
A brutalist-tropical hotel that single-handedly defined Canggu's aesthetic. Raw concrete meets tropical hardwoods, the pool is a gathering place for the surf-creative crowd, and the restaurant serves some of Bali's best modern Australian food.
Kuta — Jalan Pantai Kuta
A reborn heritage hotel with art deco touches, directly on Kuta Beach. Yes, Kuta gets a bad rap — but this hotel has a private beach entrance, a palm-shaded pool, and room rates that make beachfront Bali genuinely affordable.
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.
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.
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.
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.
