This is a guide to the best luxury hotels in Bali, in Ubud, Uluwatu and Seminyak. These top hotels offer incredible views, stunning infinity pools, mind-blowing rooms and spas to luxuriate in.
When one thinks of Bali, one often thinks of the boisterous nightlife of Kuta, the various beach areas or the culture and arts of Ubud, but do not discount Uluwatu, a superb resort at the southern tip of Bali.
Our first pick is the multi award winning 5 Star Viceroy Bali (pictured above), which offers a private pool in every single room as well as truly breathtaking views. Relax in your a thatched villa, dip in your private outdoor pool to soak up views of the Valley of the Kings, so called because Balinese royalty once made their homes in the little villages nearby.
We also loved Alila Villas Uluwatu which we stayed in recently and was peaceful and serene.
Whichever you pick, Bali is a magical island.
The Best Luxury Hotels In Bali
Review: Viceroy Bali
The multi-award winning 5 Star Viceroy Bali, one of the best hotels in Ubud Bali, is just 5 minutes drive to the thriving culture and arts center of Ubud, yet the location feels like another world. This is the perfect place to relax and renew in utter tranquillity. Viceroy Bali is family owned and operated, a rare affair for 5-star hotels in Bali and is situated only a 5-minute drive from the bustling Ubud shops. Wandering into the hotel's open lobby with its marble floor and high-vaulted bamboo and grass-thatched roof immediately washes away any stresses.
Review: Alila Villas Uluwatu
When one thinks of Bali, one often thinks of the boisterous nightlife of Kuta, the various beach areas or the culture and arts of Ubud. In my recent trip, I had the opportunity to visit Alila Villas Uluwatu, a superb resort at the southern tip of Bali, Uluwatu. Before this trip, I have only heard of the famous namesake temple in this place, Uluwatu temple, where they perform a fascinating traditional local dance, Kecak Fire Dance. However, I was completely blown away by my experience at Alila Villas Uluwatu.
Review: Hidden Hills Villas, Uluwatu, Bali
An intimate, exclusive, ultra-luxurious paradise resort with panoramic views, small enough to be personal but large enough that the first-class facilities can keep you occupied. This is beautifully sums up Hidden Hills Villas in Bali. The resort is nestled amidst the hills of Pecatu on the beautiful garden isle of Bali, also known as the ‘Island of Gods’. Poised on magnificent southwestern ‘Bukit’ tip of Bali, the resort benefits from a stunning 180-degree unobstructed view of the infamous Uluwatu sunset.
Review: Ametis Villa Bali
If the privacy of a villa combined with the impeccable service of a five-star hotel sounds like your idea of heaven, then consider staying at the ultra-luxury Bali boutique hotel Ametis Villa. Ametis Villa Bali features a collection of 14 private villa compounds designed with the highest standards of luxury and quality. Each sits within the tranquil confines of landscaped tropical grounds making this the perfect place to get away from it all. Located in the laidback beachside resort of Canggu, which has long been a popular spot for surfers, Ametis Villa brings luxury to this region.
Review: The Ritz-Carlton Bali
There are several excellent and unique hotels in Bali, from the 5-Star Viceroy to unique and luxury glamping. Ritz-Carlton Bali allows you to stay in a more mainstream brand on this idyllic island. The Ritz-Carlton, Bali is located 30 minutes from Ngurah Rai International Airport and is just minutes away from the Jimbaran Bay, Pecatu, and Uluwatu area, as well as cultural sites, including Jatiluwih and Ubud. This unique, luxurious, and locally-inspired resort is located in Sawangan, Nusa Dua, and is set on 12.
