Best Luxury Hotels in Bali

Beautiful Bali – a destination synonymous with far-reaching rice fields, laid-back beach bars and dramatic rainforest-covered landscapes. A paradise setting where the barefoot way of life does not compromise the luxury offering. From treehouses in the sky to beachfront hotels, two things remain the same – the service is outstanding and the views are unparalleled. Chic, modern restaurants, day clubs and bars sit comfortably alongside traditional temples and a rich culture. The spas are some of the best in the world and the shopping may warrant some extra hold luggage. Elizabeth Gilbert famously fell in love with Bali during her ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ era, now it’s your turn.

Here are our favourite 5 star and luxury hotels to stay at on the island.
