Luxury Hotels in Bali

We went for our 20th wedding anniversary and could not have been happier with our choice! This place is stunning both inside and out. We were amazed by how beautiful the surroundings were with every detail well thought out. The room was stunning and well laid out. When we arrived they had cooled down the room and heated the pool which was the absolute perfect temperature the entire time. Having a wam pool was a big part of how much we enjoyed our stay as we spent quite a bit of time in it. The room and outside patio area was very private and we felt as though we were the only ones there at times. The food was also amazing whether we ate at the poolside restaurant, the high end restaurant Aperitif, or eating in the Pinstripes Bar. We really enjoyed the bar and the staff there. They were so attentive and everyone made us feel right at home. We enjoyed great conversations there and got some good recommendations on things to see in the area. The drinks were really next level as these bartenders know their craft. It was fun to watch them mix the drinks and they explained the science behind what flavors they were combining and how some of the spices and other ingredients were locally sourced. The entire staff was also another highlight. Everyone we encountered could not have been more friendly and attentive. The general manager even took the time to sit with us to see how our stay was going and asking other questions that showed he was very committed to the property. We also like that this is a family owned property. They were staying there while we were there and it was clear they too all had a passion for excellence. We researched properties for months before deciding on Viceroy. We did spend a bit more in the end than we may have for other 5 star properties, but after reading some of the reviews at the other places, we kept circling back to Viceroy. We are so glad we did and in the end, the extra money still made the stay seem like a bargain. We have paid about the same for a tiny room in a substandard hotel in New York City and here we were treated like kings in one of the most beautiful spots we have ever stayed in. Thank you to everyone who made our stay so special. We will be back! John and Dan

My beloved Regent Bali... ♥ My love, Regent Bali Canggu… 💚 Bali became a place I want to return to—all thanks to Regent… 🌴 We stayed here for our honeymoon, and for 4 nights and 5 days, it was nothing but pure admiration… I’m actually quite picky when it comes to hotels. I usually avoid even touching the bare floor, and I’m very sensitive about cleanliness—whether it’s utensils or the bathroom. But here… I walked around barefoot the entire time, completely at ease, as if I were at home. That alone says everything—the level of cleanliness is absolutely outstanding. Even the interior design was breathtaking. I heard that the wooden carvings on the bathtub and sink were all handcrafted, and you can truly feel the luxury and artistry in every detail. It made every moment of using the space feel special and joyful. Even the amenities were impressive—especially the conditioner! Usually, hotel products leave my hair stiff, but this one made it feel as soft as if I had just been to a salon. Also, I know many people worry about Bali belly. We usually bring a shower filter with us whenever we travel, but this was the only hotel where the filter stayed completely clean—just like in Korea. After checking it midway, we even brushed our teeth with the tap water, and we had absolutely no issues :) The beach club, Taru Restaurant Regent Bali, and everything else—the cocktails and food were simply perfect! And most of all, I will never forget the kindness and exceptional service from the staff. Thank you for giving us such beautiful memories. Next time, we’ll definitely come back with our parents!

Having visited Bali four times, this cliffside hotel offered the best experience, on par with Amankila, where I stayed a few months ago. With only eight villas in total, we booked a two-bedroom ocean view villa. It had a huge living room and even a game room (though we only played a racing game for a bit, unfortunately). The hotel's environment is beyond words; the ocean view is almost identical to the Alila I stayed at previously. My only regret was being overconfident based on past experience. Previous Chinese New Year trips to Bali were always sunny, but this year, Chinese New Year was late, and by the time we arrived, it was already the rainy season. We stayed for four nights and only got half a day of sunshine to explore the cliffside road; the rest of the time was gloomy and rainy. Important advice repeated three times: NEVER go to Bali during the rainy season, NEVER go to Bali during the rainy season, NEVER go to Bali during the rainy season, or you'll question all your life choices. Special shout-out: The hotel's in-room dining is incredible! The Tomahawk steak was the best I've ever had, far superior to even the most expensive French restaurants in Beijing. The portion was very generous, and the grilled lobster was also excellent; I had it three times. The value for money is exceptional, not expensive at all compared to Icon Bali mall. The only minor drawback was the lack of a Chinese-speaking butler. We've stayed at nearly twenty hotels in Bali, including Four Seasons, Amankila, Soori, and Banyan Tree, and this cliffside hotel would still be our top choice for a return visit.

The hotel offers free airport shuttle service, just make sure to contact them in advance to book it. While the facilities are a bit dated (even the doorknobs were broken), the original design is well-laid out and practical. I highly recommend the villas, they're perfect for family vacations. Each villa has a private swimming pool in the back, and you can access the saltwater lake directly from there, which is great for relaxing and watching the kids. The hotel's beach is beautiful and clean. After 4 PM when the tide goes out, the water is very shallow with small waves, making it ideal for children to play. The experienced snorkeling instructor provided excellent service. All the staff members were very friendly, but be prepared to tip for good service...

Review for The Legian Bali, Seminyak– Exceptional Service Beyond Expectations! I cannot say enough about the incredible service at The Legian in Bali. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. The resort itself is stunning, with beautiful surroundings, luxurious accommodations, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. What truly set them apart, however, was their unparalleled attention to detail and genuine care for their guests. During our stay, my daughter lost a sentimental earring, and despite searching, we couldn’t find it. We mentioned it in passing to the staff, not expecting much, but to our absolute surprise, two days after we checked out, I received an email from the resort—with an image of the earring they had found! Their dedication to customer service, even after we had left, speaks volumes about their commitment to excellence. It’s rare to find such a thoughtful and proactive team, and this experience alone guarantees that we will be returning to The Legian on our next trip to Bali. If you’re looking for a resort that truly cares about its guests and goes the extra mile, look no further. A huge thank you to the amazing staff—your kindness and attention to detail made all the difference! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It was my birthday month, so I booked a pool villa for one night. I communicated via WhatsApp in advance to reserve a seaside table at Segaran for dinner, drinks at Akasa, and a Rindik session at 5 PM. I was told the Rindik class was fully booked, but the hotel was incredibly thoughtful and arranged a private Rindik session for me at 1 PM. Check-in time was supposed to be 3 PM, but because they arranged a class for me and it was my birthday, they gave me the room at 12:30 PM. The room design was maxed out! The pool was quite large, 10x5 meters. There was a handwritten card, and after turndown service, they brought a cake, replenished coffee and tea bags, and the team even did mosquito repellent treatment during turndown. The pool bar is beautiful, right below Dream Beach, full of tanned, muscular men and women surfing [full moon R]. The staff offered various complimentary popsicles and small drinks, and placed insulated bags with ice water and cold towels at the base of the beach chairs. There were also hotel lounge chairs and staff on the cliff above Dream Beach. Segaran is the breakfast and main restaurant. This time, I got the best table. The menu mainly features Indonesian and Mediterranean dishes. The sunset was incredibly beautiful, and after dinner, the staff even sang 'Happy Birthday' to me and presented a cake for me to make a wish. Akasa is located at a high point in Jumeirah, a proper cliff bar. From below, it looks like the Temple of Athena. The first drink on the menu is 'The First King,' their signature. The view from Akasa is spectacular; you can see the waves crashing against the cliffs, the entire Jumeirah area, and Jimbaran in the distance. Oh, and breakfast was delicious too! 😋 It's à la carte plus a fruit and pastry buffet. There are three sets: Japanese, Balinese, and Middle Eastern. They have four types of honey, four types of eggs Benedict, and all sorts of sugars.... Besides, both check-in and check-out were incredibly smooth. I processed everything from a booth overlooking the ocean – it was fantastic! A perfect blend of Middle Eastern luxury and Balinese style, very unique with top-notch service. The public areas are excellent (you can see my previous post). While the food and drinks weren't mind-blowing, they were at least 85% good and not expensive. You could even say it offers good value for money.

Stepping across the suspended boardwalk, I entered the mystical realm of the Ubud rainforest. ✨ The rainforest villa, nestled amidst lush valleys, exuded a sense of Zen with its teak furniture and handmade textiles, while the private pool reflected the layered greenery. Waking up to bird song in the morning and falling asleep to the gentle murmur of the Ayung River at night, this tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle is truly a balm for the soul. The riverside restaurant was an even bigger surprise. Facing the river valley beneath swaying palm trees, the slow-roasted Balinese duck with satay sauce was incredibly aromatic, and the French gratin incorporated local spices, offering a double feast for both taste buds and eyes. As the evening breeze swept through, listening to the symphony of flowing water and chirping insects, this is truly the relaxation a vacation should embody~

I was worried about mosquitoes before going, but there were practically none. I chose to stay flat for three days; it was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the surrounding greenery. The additional cycling activities were also fun.

I recently had an unforgettable vacation at Alila Villas Uluwatu, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a tranquil luxury experience. Location and Atmosphere: Perched on the cliffs of southern Bali, the hotel offers expansive views of the Indian Ocean, with sunsets that are truly picturesque. Every return to the room, every quiet moment by the private pool, was filled with the beautiful fusion of sea breeze, sunset, and serenity. Room Type and Amenities: We stayed in a One Bedroom Pool Villa. The room design was modern and tasteful, with a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces; opening the glass sliding doors led directly to the private pool. The villa was fully equipped and impeccably clean, giving an immediate sense of 'this is where I want to stay.' Service and Details: The staff were friendly and professional, making every step from check-in to check-out comfortable and well-cared for. A special thanks to our villa butler/restaurant staff for arranging delightful little surprises that made the entire trip even more heartwarming. Dining Experience: There's a wide variety of dining options, whether you prefer Indonesian flavors, Mediterranean cuisine, or healthy light meals, each offering its own unique taste. Breakfast was abundant, and dining for lunch and dinner in such a scenic environment was particularly enjoyable. Reason for Recommendation: If you're looking for a resort where you can relax and be surrounded by beauty, Alila Villas Uluwatu is an excellent choice. Our trip was incredibly rewarding, and we will definitely return if given the chance.

For three adults with three breakfasts, Ctrip's quoted price already included an extra bed. So, upon entering the villa, an extra bed had already been set up in the living room. The private pool in the villa isn't small (pic 3), but there are no lights in the pool, making it unsuitable for swimming at night. The view looking down from the cliff is stunning (pic 2). The elevator down to the bottom of the cliff is fantastic. However, the beach at the bottom isn't great; it's all pebbles (I've been to the paid beach at Uluwatu, and it's also all pebbles). The sand is coarse. The Rock Bar directs villa guests to the topmost circular observation deck (pic 1). However, if you try to book via the Ayana app, you'll find you can't get the good spots. This is because no matter how early you book, the best seats on the circular observation deck are reserved for Europeans. If you're Asian, they won't let you sit in the prime spots. I went very early but was still assigned a seat partially obstructed by a pillar. Europeans who arrived later were directly guided to the best spots. Two Korean couples even got the best seats after arguing. Also, Dava Restaurant (exclusive to villa guests) is located behind the villa lobby, next to the infinity pool. The food is good, and there are live singing performances in the evening. I highly recommend this restaurant for villa guests. No reservations are needed; you can just walk in. The buffet in the non-villa area has a decent view, but the food is mediocre, it's crowded, and the restrooms in the restaurant tend to be dirty. If you don't mind, one visit is enough. Another positive point is that the deposit was directly deducted from our expenses (unlike at Bulgari, where they don't deduct the deposit from your bill, and it takes two weeks to get it back).
