Our favorite luxury Bali hotels

The 22 most luxurious hotels in Bali.Some Bali regions offer many high end luxurious resorts, while other regions are more basic. Your best chance to find luxury accommodation is in the south Bali region of Uluwatu (famous for its beaches cliffs and temples), and the jungle town of Ubud in Central Bali. A third good option is Seminyak, the lively beachside town nestled between Kuta and Canggu. Lately, an increasing number of luxurious hotels have opened in more remote regions of Bali, including the town of Sidemen and the mountainous area of Munduk.

There are great hotel options in the surf & hipster town of Canggu too, however they can’t compete with the extravant luxury offered by some of the hotels in Uluwatu, Ubud and Seminyak. If you do want to stay in Canggu, check our Canggu Honeymoon Guide for some great accomodation options.

There are hundreds of hotels in Bali. This top 21 consists of absolute best 5-star hotels (all are rated at least 9 out of 10 on booking sites). You can’t go wrong booking any of them. The hotels are displayed in no particular order, we have just organized them by region of Bali:

Luxurious hotels in Uluwatu

Uluwatu is a town on the cliffs that originally became popular amongst surfers, as one of the world’s best and most consistent waves can be found here. The region has a lot to offer, including some of the best beaches of Bali and a spectacular temple on the cliffs inhabited by monkeys. You won’t find better sunsets in Bali than in Uluwatu.

Below we list our favorite luxurious hotels in the region. Some are located north of Uluwatu in the Jimbaran area, while others are located on the cliffs on the south side of the peninsula.

• 3. Bvlgari Resort Bali

  Uluwatu or Pecatu

  The Bvlgari Resort Bali offers unparalleled luxury, blending local volcanic stone and traditional thatched roofs with Milanese elegance.

  Every time we wake up, we see a beautiful blue sky, unaware that we’re on top of a cliff.

  They offer more private villas because of their spacious grounds and their focus on resort privacy.

  All rooms, including the couples' massage spa, offer beautiful ocean views that promote relaxation.

  Love it? Check prices now!

  Having experienced Bvlgari Resort Bali firsthand, we can say that its setting is hard to beat. The resort is perched more than 150 meters above the Indian Ocean on the Uluwatu cliffs, and it holds a Forbes Five Star rating as well as Two MICHELIN Keys. Italian architect Antonio Citterio blended Balinese volcanic stone and hand woven thatched roofs with signature Milanese style, so the private pool villas feel modern and elegant while still having real Balinese character. That's why it is our pick for a polished clifftop honeymoon in Uluwatu.

  The grounds follow the steep cliff with grand stone staircases and hilly paths, although a private buggy is always on call. A highlight of our visit was the funicular that glides down the cliff to a secluded beach, which felt incredibly private. The food was just as memorable. Il Ristorante – Niko Romito, created by the three-MICHELIN-starred Italian chef, served the finest dishes of our whole trip, while Sangkar offers casual dining on the cliff edge and La Spiaggia serves fresh seafood. The remote location keeps the resort wonderfully peaceful, but it also means you will need a car to reach restaurants and beach clubs outside the resort.

There are two Four Seasons hotels in Bali, one on the beach in Jimbaran, and one in the jungle near Ubud. This Four Seasons on the beach in Jimbaran is a great option: it is located on one of the best spots on the island, between the airport and Uluwatu, on a white sand beach, from where you can watch the sun setting over the Indian Ocean.

  You won't regret booking a thatched-roof private pool villa - in the morning you may enjoy a floating breakfast, and in the late afternoon it will feel like the sun is setting just for you and your partner. High quality fine dining and wellness options will make your stay perfect.

But there's plenty to do around the hotel too. Make a visit to the Talise Spa, inspired by a Turkish Hammam from the Ottoman Empire. Or dine at the Akasa restaurant overlooking the Uluwatu cliffs. The beach near the resort is actually good for surfing.

  Jimbaran, 25 min from Uluwatu

  Luxury villas tucked away on a green hill sloping towards the ocean.

  The Panoramic pool villa is the best option for couples. Enjoy uninterrupted views of Jimbaran's colorful sunsets.

  A unique feature of the Raffles: private dining in a natural cave!

  While most villas offer a private pool, anyone is welcome to enjoy the large beachfront pool too.

  Love it? Check prices now!

  Raffles Bali keeps things intimate with only 32 pool villas on a forested hillside above Jimbaran Bay, and that is exactly why we like it. The resort lies just south of Jimbaran, about 20 minutes from Bali's airport and 25 minutes from the cliffs of Uluwatu, yet it feels completely tucked away. It holds Two MICHELIN Keys, and it is one of the few resorts in the area that is still surrounded by mature tropical forest.

  Every villa has its own pool and garden with views over the Indian Ocean, and the Raffles butlers are on call day and night. For a special evening, couples can book a private seafood dinner in an oceanfront gazebo or even inside a cave! Rumari is the signature restaurant at the highest point of the resort and focuses on produce from across the archipelago, while guests also love the relaxed Loloan Beach Bar. The Writer's Bar is a nod to the literary history of the original Raffles in Singapore. Because the resort sits on a hillside, you will take buggy rides between your villa, the restaurants and the beach, but in our view the privacy is worth it.

  The Ungasan offers a luxurious selection of villas and bedroom suites. The one-bedroom ocean-view suite is our personal favorite for a perfect romantic getaway. It features a king-sized bed with direct ocean views, a large en-suite bathroom, a private plunge pool and garden.

Luxurious hotels in Ubud

Ubud is our favorite destination for couples visiting Bali. While Ubud is inland (there is no beach), the region offers some of the best high-end resorts on the island, often tucked away in river valleys with spectacular views over the Balinese jungle.

Ubud is the cultural capital of Bali. The town is rich in arts, culture and history. Explore the Saraswati temple complex, enjoy traditional Balinese dance performance at the Ubud Palace or visit one of the many museums. Outside of the town, you will find some of the prettiest views over jungle and traditional rice terraces. We have lived in Ubud and are keen to share our suggestions. Check our Ubud Honeymoon Guide for everything you should to know for a great vacation in Ubud.

  One of the luxury rooms in Viceroy.

  The Viceroy is tastefully designed and fits well in its surroundings.

  Romantic poolside dining paired with luxury night views.

  Love it? Check prices now!

  Viceroy Bali is our favorite luxury resort in Ubud, and it proves that a family-run resort can compete with the biggest international brands. It opened in 2005 with only 11 villas and was made for couples and honeymooners who want a quiet, private and upmarket stay. In 2018 Condé Nast Traveler readers voted it the No. 1 resort in the world, and it earned a MICHELIN Key in the 2026 selection.

  Today its 40 pool villas overlook the Petanu River valley, which locals call the Valley of the Kings, with Mount Batur in the distance. The marble bathrooms with sunken or soaking tubs are magnificent, and we love the jungle views from CasCades restaurant. There is also a pool with a swim-up bar, a hillside spa and a modern gym, while the private helipad means a helicopter transfer from the airport takes just 12 minutes. Best of all, the resort feels secluded but is only 5 to 10 minutes by car from Ubud's main street, and a shuttle is available. The villas are spread across a hillside, so expect some walking. And since there is no beach, this is a stay for jungle lovers, so check our Ubud honeymoon guide for everything else to do nearby.

• 10. Buahan by Banyan Tree

  Payangan, North Ubud

  The bale structure is barely visible from above as it blends in with the trees in the Buahan Valley.

  A lantern lit wooden staircase led us up through the garden to our bale.

  A canopy bed sits right at the edge of the deck offering a view of the valley glowing outside at dusk.

  Soaking in a copper bathtub on the terrace while clouds drift over the forest, that is the true essence of relaxation at an eco stay.

  Love it? Check prices now!

  Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape is the most daring stay on our list. It sits in the village of Buahan in Payangan, about 40 minutes north of central Ubud, and it opened in 2022 as the first property in Banyan Tree's Escape collection. This adults-only retreat has held Two MICHELIN Keys since 2025, and the inspectors even praised its "intimate (and very fine) restaurant". The Balinese architect Gede Kresna designed its 16 bale villas without walls or doors, so the pool villa we stayed in had nothing between us and the rainforest, the river valley and the mountains beyond.

  Meals at the Open Kitchen are made with ingredients from the resort's own gardens and local farmers, and daily yoga and meditation are included in your stay. Guests must be 18 or older, which keeps the atmosphere peaceful, and we don't see that as a downside at all. Before you book, though, know that living this close to nature means insects and humidity are part of the experience. The steep paths have many steps, so hold on to each other, and the portions are fairly small, so ask for extra protein from the first night. The drive from the airport also takes about two hours, so plan enough nights to make the most of it. For couples who truly want to unplug, we think it is worth every step.

  An open-kitchen concept serving food fresh from the chef, theirs usually give us a triggered but it's fun and fancy.

  There is a public outdoor cinema where you can warm up together while watching a movie.

  Love it? Check prices now!

  A sense of calm washed over us the moment we arrived at Capella Ubud. Bill Bensley designed this camp in the rainforest of Keliki village, north of Ubud, and his tents are styled like the camps of 1800s explorers and face the Wos River Valley. We are clearly not the only fans, because Travel + Leisure readers voted it the No. 1 hotel in the world in 2020. Today it holds Two MICHELIN Keys and a Forbes Four-Star rating, and it is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.

  There are only 22 tents and one lodge across nine acres of jungle, and the small details made our stay feel magical. Each tent has a copper bathtub and its own saltwater pool surrounded by the Keliki forest. We loved the cozy chef's table dinner at Api Jiwa and the laid back atmosphere at the Officers Tent, while the restaurant Mads Lange is named after the Danish trader once known as Bali's unofficial king. Be prepared for a few trade offs, though. The canvas walls let in the sounds of the jungle and the neighboring tents, the pool water feels very cold in the morning and the terraced grounds have many stone steps. Still, if you love nature and a good story, Capella offers a truly memorable jungle adventure.

  While the Four Seasons is a large resort, it blends well with its surroundings.

  The riverside infinity pool is also the starting point for daring couples who'd like to give rafting on Ayung river a go.

  Love it? Check prices now!

  If you are ready to splurge on your honeymoon, you can't go wrong with Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan. It sits in a lush jungle valley about 15 minutes west of Ubud, and it helped put Ubud's river valleys on the world map of luxury travel. Travel + Leisure readers named it the best hotel in the world in 2018. Today it still holds a Forbes Five-Star rating together with a MICHELIN Key, and only five resorts in Indonesia can say they have both.

  The arrival is one of the most dramatic in Asia, because you walk across a suspension bridge onto a lotus pond that is actually the roof of the main building. From there you descend into the Ayung River valley, where private villas with infinity pools look out over the jungle, the river and the terraced rice paddies. Add superb wellness at the Sacred River Spa, which has its own Forbes Four-Star rating, and staff who go out of their way to make your honeymoon perfect. We know this resort is above the budget of most honeymoons, and its many steps and slopes make it less suitable for guests with limited mobility. But if you are going to splurge, do it in Bali, because the value for money here is better than almost anywhere else.

These textiles are of important significance in the Balinese culture. We believe Sidemen it is a great off-the-beaten-path destination for couples on a romantic holiday. Surrounded by lush rice terraces, rolling hills, and a backdrop of majestic mountains, Sidemen offers a tranquil escape from the bustling tourist areas. This hidden gem is the perfect destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat, where time seems to slow down and nature takes center stage. Explore rice fields, go on treks, discover the authentic Bali life or discover hidden waterfalls.

  This is where the Kardashians stayed when they visited Bali. While you should judge for yourself, it can't be denied that the Soori resort is special. It is located on a remote black sand surf beach where you won't encounter many other people, and is one of the few places in Bali that offers private beachfront villas. The resort prides itself on having genuine connection with the surrounding villages and local culture.

  Soori is located in the Tabanan region, roughly 40 minutes further up the coast from Canggu. This area is remote, not many tourists venture here. Fortunately the resort offers everything you need, and if you really miss the buzz of a popular tourist town you can just grab a taxi to Canggu for the night!
