Someone recently told me Bali has a branding problem. Mention the island and most minds drift towards beach clubs in Canggu. After all, it is almost like a private club for expats.
But, over the years the Southeast Asian island has had many flying in for the best wellness retreats and to be digital nomads. And of course, it is still one of those cliche honeymoon destinations. One really can’t help it.
The sunsets at Seminyak are obviously mesmerising, the clifftops in Uluwatu are dramatic and the cocktails for party-lovers are dangerously easy to keep ordering and so is an ultra luxury stay experience.
The best stays whether you decide to book yourself in a resort, a private villa or a luxury Airbnb are not too far away from the beaches. Some are hidden deep near the rice fields, others in deep forests, rest on the cliffs overviewing the Indian Ocean.
These are the best luxury stays in Bali right now:
