A word from one of our experts

Bali is an island that I'll keep revisiting as there is always so much more to see. The scenery is spectacular and there is a lot of opportunity for being active whether you dive, raft, zip-line, cycle or even hike to the summit of an active volcano. The traditional Balinese gentle culture is prevalent on the island and especially in the east, which remains fairly untouched by tourism. For nice restaurants, bars and boutiques it’s wonderful to spend a couple of days in Seminyak. And I haven’t even started on the beaches…

Luxury accommodation in Bali

There are many incredible places to stay in Bali. Here are some of our favourites, handpicked by our travel designers:

Ubud

Capella Ubud
Discovered amid lush green forests and scenic rice paddy fields, Capella Ubud is a unique tented hotel presenting a luxurious experience and a relaxing oasis on the doorstep of Ubud’s most beautiful natural surroundings. The hotel consists of 22 individually styled one-bedroom tents and one tented two-bedroom lodge, all immaculate in their artistic décor and furnishings. Offering rice terrace, rainforest, river or valley views, each lodging is equipped with modern facilities to further enhance the comfort of your stay, as well as a private saltwater pool for relaxing soaks. The two-bedroom lodge offers a larger space in which to unwind and is well suited to a small family. Inspired by the early European settlers from the 1800s, each tent’s decorative theme is determined by the skill set of the various inhabitants of the area’s 19th century camps, with the likes of The Carpenter’s Tent showcasing the tools used by craftsmen and artisans, while The Naturalist’s Tent depicts the heritage of the camp’s zoologists and botanists. Seasonable and sustainable dining can be enjoyed at the Mads Lange dining room, while delicious Asian BBQ is served at the intimate Api Jiwa restaurant. For some refreshment after a cooling swim, the poolside Mortar and Pestle Bar serves up a range of snacks and drinks, including a creative cocktail menu. There is also The Camp Fire from where you can relax under the stars with a hot chocolate in hand, serenaded by the hotel’s jungle orchestra. A myriad of wellness treatments can be enjoyed at the hotel’s extensive spa, while the tented gymnasium allows guests to get active across the likes of yoga and pilates classes – perfectly in keeping with Bali’s sense of spiritual well-being.

Jimbaran thumbnail

Jimbaran

On the western side of the Bukit Peninsula, Jimbaran blends its working fishing village atmosphere with a collection of exclusive and tasteful hotels. Almost like a more chilled version of Seminyak, it boasts some of Bali’s most beautiful sandy beaches and calm, clear waters for swimming.

Sidemen

Located just inland from Bali’s eastern coastline, to the south of the dramatic and imposing Mount Agung, Sidemen is truly one of Bali’s hidden treasures.
