Where to stay
Where you stay in Bali shapes the rhythm of your entire holiday.
The island has many different sides, from the artistic and cultural heart of Ubud to the volcanic landscapes of Kintamani, the dramatic cliffs of Uluwatu and the polished resorts of Nusa Dua.
Rather than recommending a location simply because it is popular, we look at how you want to spend your time, what you want to experience and the kind of atmosphere you want around you.
Ubud & the Highlands
Green, cultural and deeply connected to Bali.
Ubud and Kintamani offer two distinct sides of Bali, from lush tropical forests, cultural experiences and exciting adventures to dramatic volcanic landscapes and peaceful mountain escapes.
Ubud is surrounded by rice terraces, waterfalls, temples, wildlife attractions and beautiful countryside. It is an ideal destination for travellers seeking adventure, cultural discovery, wellness or a chance to reconnect with nature.
Kintamani takes you higher into Bali's mountains, with cooler air, volcanic landscapes and breathtaking views of Mount Batur and Lake Batur. It is a beautiful choice for nature lovers, sunrise experiences and anyone looking to discover a quieter, more dramatic side of the island.
Together, these destinations offer a beautiful balance of culture, nature, adventure and time to slow down.
The Southern Coast
From lively beach culture to polished coastal escapes.
The southern coast offers some of Bali's greatest variety, with surfing, beautiful beaches, exceptional dining, beach clubs, spectacular sunsets and luxurious beachfront resorts.
Canggu is relaxed and social, with a strong surf, café and creative scene. Seminyak feels more polished and sophisticated, with stylish stays, dining and a long-established beach scene. Uluwatu is dramatic and expansive, known for limestone cliffs, spectacular ocean views, beautiful beaches and unforgettable sunsets.
For something calmer and more resort-focused, Nusa Dua offers manicured surroundings, beautiful beachfront resorts, calm waters and a quieter atmosphere. It is particularly well suited to guests looking for comfort, privacy and a relaxing holiday.
Sanur offers another gentler side of the coast, with calmer waters, a relaxed seaside atmosphere and an easy pace that works especially well for slower stays and families.
Each destination has its own personality, and we help you find the one that fits the way you want to experience Bali.
North & East Bali
Quieter landscapes, coastal escapes and a slower pace.
Discover a quieter side of Bali, from the lush hills and rice terraces of Sidemen to the underwater beauty of Amed, the peaceful coastline of Lovina and the cool mountain landscapes of Munduk. North and East Bali offer a slower rhythm, authentic village experiences and a chance to explore the island beyond its busy southern coast.
