Hotels in Seminyak
Seminyak sits a little way along the coast from the famous Kuta Beach in Bali and is known for being a little less crowded and a little more serene compared to Kuta.

Seminyak has a focus on more chilled out beach clubs where you can sip a drink with your feet in the sand. There are also some great shopping malls and of course, hotels. Here are some of our favorite hotels in Seminyak
Anantara Seminyak Bali Resort
The Anantara Seminyak Resort and Spa in Bali is located on an expansive 3,500 square metres of sandy beachfront, only a convenient 20 minutes from Denpasar International Airport.
Close to restaurants and cafés, shopping and lively nightlife, the location is ideal if walking will be your main mode of transport.
An all-suite property, you’ll be treated to stylish accommodation channelling Indonesian design, living areas for extra space and a Jacuzzi bathtub big enough for two. Days can be spent relaxing beside one of the three swimming pools, getting pampered in the Anantara Spa and dining on grilled meats and fresh seafood on the beach as you watch the sunset.

One of the most luxurious hotels in Seminyak, this is the perfect hotel if you’re looking for an extra special getaway experience.
Hotels in Canggu
Canggu is the most up and coming spot in Indonesia – if not the whole of Southeast Asia. Only a few years ago, Canggu was little more than rice paddies, surfers and a few local warungs and restaurants. But Canggu has exploded and it’s now THE place to be in Bali.
With everything from some of the best hotels in Canggu, luxury villas, surf camps, beach clubs and up-market restaurants, it now attracts celebrities, influencers and a whole lot of hipsters!
It’s a pretty busy place these days but if you’re planning a trip to Bali, it’s a must-visit for sure! With everything you need for a great vacation – great Canggu hotels, places to eat, activities, day trips and more, you’re sure to have a blast in the ‘Gu!
COMO Uma Canggu
One of the most luxurious hotels in Bali, COMO Uma Canggu is a relatively new addition to the town. The 5 star resort has a bit of a surf theme, suiting it’s location close to Echo Beach and Batu Bolong Beach.
It has the exclusivity and privacy you’d expect from a high-end resort with a boho beachy feel. There’s a smart beach club, a swimming pool and Como Shambhala, one of the best spas in Bali.

A great place to stay in Canggu if you’re hoping to see some great sunsets during your trip – the views from Berawa Beach are legendary on the island!
Aradhana Villas
Not far from neighbouring Seminyak, and only a few steps from the popular Finn’s Beach Club, Aradhana Villas is a great option if you’re looking for a luxury hotel in Canggu.
You won’t have to worry about getting around as Aradhana Villas offers their own complimentary transportation services to take you wherever you want to go.
The villas have Balinese style private pools which you’ll want to dive into as soon as you check in and the hotel staff will be happy to organise day trips and experiences for you, including surf lessons, trips to the rice paddies, snorkel tours and more!
The Bukit
The southern peninsula, known as ‘The Bukit’(meaning ‘hill’ in Bahasa Indonesia) is becoming increasingly popular with visitors to Bali. Luxurious Canggu hotels perch on beautiful cliffs all along the coastline – hence the name!
The west coast (generically called Pecatu) is becoming a real hotspot. Balangan Beach and Bingin are popular with surfers due to the world-famous surf breaks all the way south to the important temple of Uluwatu.
This is the perfect spot if you fancy something a little less crowded than Canggu or Seminyak. Although The Bukit is becoming more well-known it still has that local small-town feel that many people look for when they come to Bali.
Ayana Resort and Spa
The Ayana is about 10 minutes drive from Jimbaran, which features seafood cafés along a perfectly curved beach. The resort boasts one of the largest grounds in Bali, so golf carts are provided.
The deluxe rooms are in a four-level block facing the gardens and are elegantly furnished with exquisite Balinese furnishings and carvings.
The cliff-top Infinity pool is connected to the renowned Rock Bar on the tiny beach below, the perfect spot to watch the sun go down. Regular shuttle buses to Jimbaran and Nusa Dua make getting around simple and easy.
The Ritz-Carlton Bali
The Ritz-Carlton oozes sheer opulence and utter extravagance. Perched high on a cliff, the views here are incomparable.
The private Cliff Villas with pools are designed as New York-style apartments complete with every modern touch you can think of. The suites in the four-level block are also luxuriously modest, with those at ground-level having direct access to the Infinity pool from their veranda.
The resort caters extremely well for families, and is connected by shuttle bus to Nusa Dua, with its cafés and mall, about 4km away.
Ulu Segara Luxury Suites & Villas
The Segara is contemporary, intimate and elegant, with endless sea views. Far smaller and less pretentious than neighboring mega-resorts, this hotel in Canggu faces a narrow private beach that disappears at high tide.
The Ocean Villas are massive, with a modern décor, garden inside and out, and plenty of windows. They also contain a bathroom as large as the bedroom, plunge pool with a gazebo and wooden decking, and a comfortable living/kitchen/dining area.

Ubud Village Resort & Spa is perfect if you’re looking for a luxurious stay in Ubud but you’re also looking to have a little bit of independence.

Hotels in Nusa Lembongan
Nusa Lembongan has slowly grown as a tourist destination thanks to its good surf and chill beach vibes.
