Luxury Bali Resorts: Where the Dream Stay Goes Furthest
Clifftop infinity pools, jungle villas and beachfront estates - the three luxury styles where Bali's value is unmatched.
Table of contents
Bali's luxury is a different animal from hotel luxury elsewhere: it is clifftop infinity pools, jungle spa pavilions and rice-field views that cost a slice of their European equivalent. The island is where the 'dream stay' budget goes furthest.
The three luxury styles
| Style | Where | The stay |
|---|---|---|
| Clifftop resort | Uluwatu / the Bukit | Infinity pools over the ocean |
| Jungle villa | Ubud's hills | Private pools, spa pavilions |
| Beachfront estate | Seminyak / beach strip | Steps from the sand |
What the price really buys
- A private pool room (family scale) - the reason most splurge once
- Breakfast anywhere, anytime - the quiet luxury of the villa style
- A spa treatment set among the rice paddies
- The transfer, the included extras and the service with the memories
Splurging smart
- Book one or two luxury nights instead of the whole trip at that rate
- Choose dates or shoulder seasons - the cliff resorts drop at the edges
- Ask about the villa package: transfers, breakfast and spa credits often bundle
