Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
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 — 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.
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.
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 — 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.
