Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩

I think Bali is the ultimate must-see destination.

I visited Bali for the first time when I was running my own travel agency. Together with two colleagues, I scoured Bali to find the best areas, hotels and experiences.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 3

This meant that we didn’t spend much time in the typical tourist resorts, but were on the lookout for the “real Bali”.

I think we’ve found it, and that’s why I’d like to encourage you to get to know some of the lesser-known areas, where the experiences are perhaps even more authentic.

However, I assure you that I have also included a few well-known vacation destinations in the list – after all, they are not so popular for no reason

So let’s dive into the guide: Where to stay in Bali?

Best areas in Bali

Bali is a big island, and this guide to the best places to stay in Bali is relatively long. So if you’re in a hurry or want a quick summary, here it is:

  • 👉 Sidemen – the best and most beautiful area
  • 👉Canggu – Best area for young travelers
  • 👉 Ubud – Best area for yoga and nature lovers
  • 👉Nusa Lembongan – beautiful island 30 minutes from Bali
  • 👉 West Bali National Park – a hidden gem with fantastic snorkeling and beautiful nature
  • 👉Nusa Dua – best area for luxury hotels (near the airport)
  • 👉Sanur– Beach town with family-friendly hotels

Click on the name of the region above to see the best hotels in this part of Bali.

So let’s start with the guide.

1. Sidemen -the best & most beautiful area

When I traveled to Bali for the first time in 2018, Sidemen was pretty much a blank slate on the internet. It was very difficult to find information and there were no travel videos of Sidemen on YouTube.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 5

It’s fair to say that has changed, especially since travel vlogger Lost Leblanc threw his love on Sidemen.

WHY is NOBODY traveling here?! Bali

However, I can fully understand this love, because in this area you will find a more authentic Bali than in places like Ubud, which for decades has been considered the place to visit if you want to experience a tranquil setting in the middle of rice fields.

Find the best hotels in Sidemen. 👈

If you prefer to live in an area where tourism has already taken hold but which is relatively quiet, Sidemen is an excellent choice.

There are many good hotels to choose from, all built with respect for the area.

There is neither a center nor a big city in the Sidemen area. So you are staying in a place where you simply want to enjoy your incredible hotel, go on a few excursions and otherwise relax on your laid-back vacation.

Best places to stay in Sidemen

Of the hotels in Sidemen, I recommend the 👉 Samanvaya Luxury Resort & Spa if you are traveling to Bali without children, as the hotel is for adults only.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 7

I had one of the best meals in the restaurant here during my entire trip to Bali – it really is one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in, and it also scores a 9.2 out of 10 for hotels.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 9

I stayed in a standard room, but you can also book a luxury villa with a private pool if you want something particularly exquisite.

If you are traveling to Bali with children or the hotel does not meet your expectations, there are many other options in Sidemen in all price ranges.

I did a quick search and found a very good, reasonably priced, family-friendly hotel that also looks absolutely fantastic:

Now that we’re in the mood to research, let’s explore some more excellent hotels in Sidemen.

The 👉 Wapa di Ume Sidemen is the epitome of luxury in one of Bali’s most picturesque landscapes.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 13

The hotel is set in a landscape of lush rice paddies and tropical forests, creating an almost magical backdrop to your stay.

The rooms are designed in an elegant Balinese style with modern amenities.

Many rooms have a private pool and a terrace from which you can enjoy the breathtaking view of the rice fields and the nearby mountains.

Guided yoga sessions and meditations are also offered, allowing you to recharge your batteries both physically and mentally.

But what really sets Wapa di Ume Sidemen apart from other hotels in the area is its focus on wellness and relaxation. The hotel has a first-class spa area where you can pamper yourself with a range of traditional Balinese treatments.

If you want to experience Bali at its most luxurious while surrounded by unspoiled nature, the Wapa di Ume Sidemen is the place for you.

If you’re looking for a more affordable yet beautiful experience in the Sidemen area of Bali, then the 👉 Patal Kikian Villas is the place for you.

Each room offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside with its rice fields, rivers and mountains and conveys a sense of tranquillity and immersion in nature that is unique to this location.

The facilities are tailored to those looking for a relaxing stay.

There is a lovely swimming pool where you can cool off in the hot hours and a restaurant that has received excellent reviews from previous guests.

So here you get both the beauty of Bali’s nature and a high standard of service and comfort, all at a price that most people can afford.


2. Canggu – Best area for young travelers

Next, we head southwest to Canggu, which is located on the southwest coast of Bali and away from other popular vacation areas such as Kuta and Seminyak.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 21

I stayed in a nearby neighborhood called Seminyak, which is also highly recommended if you prefer to stay in a resort area with lots of stores, restaurants and lively city life.

View the best hotels in Canggu here. 👈

Canggu is a little less touristy than Seminyak and is particularly popular with digital nomads.

You’ll find a range of delicious, Instagram-worthy cafés, restaurants and bars in Canggu.

Visit the popular Copenhagen Canggu, which is run by a Danish couple.

Best things to do in CANGGU, Bali - 2022

Canggu is a beachside area, so there are many beach clubs, of which Finns Beach Club is one of the most popular. Of course, the area is also very popular with surfers.

I would recommend Canggu for young people and couples looking for some excitement, but not the wild “Australians on a weekend trip” atmosphere in Kuta.

Best places to stay in Canggu

As Canggu has been hyped by influencers for several years, there are a number of good hotels here.

Below I present some accommodations in Canggu that I would book for my next trip to Bali.

If you dream of luxury and want to experience the best of Canggu, the 👉 COMO Uma Canggu is the place for you.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 23

COMO Uma Canggu This luxury hotel is perfect for style-conscious travelers looking for a unique and unforgettable Bali experience.

With its location right on the beach, it’s the perfect place to laze in the sun, try your hand at surfing or simply enjoy the view of the azure blue sea.

Penthouse suite with large private pool and sea view.

The design is elegant and modern, and every detail has been carefully selected. Many rooms offer sea views, and some even have a private pool.

The price is of course correspondingly high, but if you are looking for a luxury hotel with the option of a private pool in Canggu, the opportunity is definitely there.

See more photos and book here. 👈

There are also communal pools – several are dotted around the resort. So if you’re looking for a mix of aesthetics, state-of-the-art facilities and Balinese charm, the COMO Uma Canggu is an excellent choice.

And now let’s take a look at a hotel in Canggu that I think is amazingly cheap!

If you want to stay right on the beach without breaking your budget, the 👉 ASTON Canggu Beach Resort is an excellent choice.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 29
ASTON Canggu Beach Resort rooms with sea view at a reasonable price…

This resort offers you a first-class location and comfort at a very fair price.

The ASTON Canggu Beach Resort has numerous facilities, and you can take a dip in the beautiful swimming pool or relax with a good book in a deck chair – even with a sea view from the roof of the hotel.

There is a beautiful infinity pool with sea views.

So if you’re looking for a place with a relaxed atmosphere and fantastic location without breaking the bank, ASTON Canggu Beach Resort is the best place to stay in Canggu.

Here you get good value for money and a real Canggu experience right on the beach.

If you are looking for something different and are dreaming of your own villa with a private pool, then 👉 La Numa Villas Canggu is the perfect place.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 33

Here you can experience a unique and personal atmosphere while enjoying the Balinese sun in your private oasis.

Best of all, the prices here are surprisingly affordable, making it an obvious choice for those looking for luxury on a budget.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 35

There are several different villas, but they all have a private pool. La Numa offers tastefully furnished villas with lots of comfort and amenities.

This place consistently receives good reviews from former guests, who highlight the excellent service, the cozy surroundings and the good value for money.


3. Ubud – Best area for yoga and nature lovers

No travel guide entitled “Where to stay in Bali” would be complete without mentioning Ubud.

Ubud is probably the most famous area in Bali, and it would be a shame to travel to this Indonesian vacation island without spending a day or a few nights in Ubud.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 37

If you see vacation photos of friends who have traveled to Bali, or if you search for Bali photos on Google, the rice terraces and nature around Ubud are often depicted.

Here you will find the best hotels in Ubud. 👈

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 39
The Maya Ubud Resort & Spa is located in a beautiful setting. You can find more accommodation in Ubud later in this travel guide.

Ubud is home to the epic rice terraces, among other things, and you should check out Tegallalang and the famous monkey forest, where you can experience the little rascals up close.

The movie “Eat, Pray, Love” was filmed in and around Ubud and has made Ubud a must-see on the map for many.

There is a lot of city life in Ubud, but it is more relaxed than in Kuta, Seminyak and Canggu.

The focus is on yoga, for example, and there are many retreats that only offer vegetarian food and sometimes no alcohol.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 41

Ubud is Bali for better or worse: breathtakingly beautiful nature mixed with quite a few tourists, but it would be a shame to visit Bali and not see Ubud.

For families with children, Ubud is a wonderful area full of fun experiences.

I think this travel Youtuber shows very well why you should stay in Ubud:

UBUD AND BEYOND (why this is the best area to stay in Bali)

Best places to stay in Ubud

Ubud is located in the heart of Bali. So remember to book a hotel with a pool, as there is no beach nearby.

If I had the choice, I would probably opt for the 👉 Maya Resort & Spa in Ubud, which looks like this:

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 43

The hotel has several outdoor pools, and you can also get your own villa with a private pool, as we know from many other hotels in Bali.

Let’s take a look at some of the other best hotels in Ubud.

The 👉 Puri Sebali Resort embodies Balinese luxury combined with an incomparable location.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 47

The hotel is situated high in the hills and offers a unique view of the famous rice fields as far as the eye can see.

The rooms are in a class of their own, decorated with local handicrafts and modern amenities.

Many have a private pool and a terrace that is perfect for enjoying the sunrise over the rice fields with a cup of Balinese coffee.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 49

See more photos and book here. 👈

If you’re looking for a luxurious yet authentic Balinese experience in Ubud, I don’t think there are many better places than Puri Sebali Resort.

The 👉 Kappa Senses Ubud is not your average luxury resort.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 51
Private pool with classic Bali view.

The hotel has a unique flair that combines traditional Balinese elements with a modern, artistic touch.

The rooms offer a mix of local art and modern design, each with its own character. Here you don’t have the feeling of staying in an impersonal hotel chain, but in a luxurious private residence.

In terms of facilities, there is an excellent on-site restaurant that focuses on sustainable, local ingredients and a menu that will fulfill any foodie’s dreams.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 53
The hotel in Ubud from above.

See more photos and book here. 👈

And as befits Bali, there is of course a large pool and another pool with a view of the rice fields – unless you opt for a room with a private pool (as is almost standard in these luxury hotels in Bali).

The 👉 Alaya Resort Ubud is an excellent choice if you want to experience luxury in Ubud without breaking the bank and stay closer to the city.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 55

One of the most important advantages of the Alaya is its central location.

Even though they say it can be difficult to walk in Bali, the center of Ubud and the famous monkey forest I mentioned above are within walking distance from here.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 57

See more photos and book here. 👈

So if you want the best of all worlds – luxury, a central location and a reasonable price – then Alaya Resort Ubud is the place for you.


4. Nusa Lembongan – beautiful island 30 minutes from Bali

Yes, the guidebook is titled “Where to stay in Bali”, but I’ll take the liberty of including Nusa Lembongan.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 59

I also have an old video on the Danish Youtube channel where I start with Nusa Lembongan, but I have to admit that I’m not doing the island justice as I’m not showing it at its best (I think I need to go back and film for the Destination Well Known channel soon!).

So here is a much better video from the island:

BALI: NUSA LEMBONGAN - Travel Guide to ALL Beaches & TOP Sights in 4K

You can reach Nusa Lembongan by sailing from the Sanur resort area on the east coast of Bali. From Sanur, you can also sail to the Gili Islands if you have such plans.

Here you will find the best hotels in Nusa Lembongan. 👈

Nusa Lembongan is described as “Bali as it was before the tourists arrived”, but I don’t think that’s quite true. Because the tourists have actually discovered Nusa Lembongan.

Nevertheless, it is much quieter here than in Bali, and there are some really great hotels. So if you are traveling in Bali for a longer period of time, you should consider a detour to Nusa Lembongan.

Best places to stay in Nusa Lembongan

Let’s take a closer look at some of the best hotels in Nusa Lembongan. I’ll start with a luxury hotel before I tell you where I stayed in Nusa Lembongan (which was also very good!).

You should check into the 👉 Batu Karang Lembongan Resort & Spa to stay in absolute top class.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 61

The resort is considered one of the best luxury hotels on the island, where you can expect exquisite service and high-quality facilities.

Batu Karang offers several inviting pools where you can take a refreshing dip and relax in the comfortable loungers.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 63

The complex is equipped with beautiful vantage points from which you can enjoy breathtaking views of the sea and the picturesque surroundings of the island.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 65

See more photos and book here. 👈

The rooms are carefully furnished and you will immediately feel welcome in the beautifully designed and comfortable rooms.

So if you are looking for a luxurious stay in Nusa Lembongan where quality, comfort and unforgettable experiences are paramount, then Batu Karang Lembongan Resort & Spa is the place for you.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the 👉 Lembongan Bay Shore Huts and can only recommend this excellent hotel if you appreciate a relaxed atmosphere and beautiful surroundings.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 67

Here you can enjoy the sun by the cozy pool while gazing out to sea and letting your mind wander.

You will be accommodated in a small bungalow where you can retreat and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 69

See more photos and book here. 👈

Even though the complex is an oasis of calm, the lively surroundings are not far away.

In just a 5-10 minute walk, you can be in Mushroom Bay, where various restaurants and bars offer local and international dishes and refreshing drinks.

Mushroom Bay also has a beautiful beach.

It is an excellent starting point for relaxing in paradise or exploring the island.

And now let’s take a look at one of the cheaper accommodations in Nusa Lembongan.

The 👉 Mega Cottages are perfect for anyone who wants to save on accommodation without compromising on location – because here you literally live right on the beach.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 71

The hotel is very reasonably priced, yet is located directly on the beach in one of the main towns of Nusa Lembongan, so there are many restaurants and bars in the immediate vicinity.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 73

See more photos and book here. 👈

It seems to be a place that is perfect for travelers who prefer to spend their money on experiences rather than accommodation, but still want to stay centrally.

The rooms are pretty basic but affordable. So if you’re willing to sleep in (almost) just a bed, then I think it’s a perfect place to stay.


5. West Bali National Park near Menjangan – Amazing snorkeling and beautiful nature

This area of Bali is relatively far from the airport and the most popular vacation areas such as Kuta, Nusa Dua, Uluwatu, Sanur and others.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 75

But that’s also the reason why you should consider a trip to the West Bali National Park.

Sorry for digging out the old Danish Youtube channel again, but here you can see the area and 2 of the places I stayed at:

Privat Pool, West Bali Nationalpark & Menjangan Snorkling | Bali Vlog #2

As the video above shows, you can stay in a national park and experience the beautiful Balinese nature at any time of day.

It is a hidden gem in Bali, as many do not consider traveling all the way to the national park. However, since you have already traveled to Bali, I would still recommend that you consider visiting this area.

Take a look at the best hotels in West Bali National Park.

I noticed that one of the most famous travel YouTubers has just visited the area:

I FOUND BALI

Accommodation in West Bali National Park

In my video from the national park, I stay in two places. Both were extremely good, so let me present them below.

The 👉 Menjangan by Lifestyle Retreats is an impressive resort in the heart of the national park.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 77

This place is a true experience, and the complex extends over a large area where nature is the focus.

Here you can choose between many different room types.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 79

A stay in the heart of a national park offers the unique opportunity to experience the local wildlife up close and explore the beautiful surroundings.

My stay at The Menjangan was an unforgettable experience characterized by nature and luxury.

At the top of the tower there is a bar with seating and a fantastic view!

See more photos and book online here. 👈

This place is ideal for anyone who wants to get away from it all and immerse themselves in a world of natural beauty and harmony.

The other hotel I stayed at in this area was the 👉 Naya Gawana Resort & Spa, and that was also an absolutely enchanting experience.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 83

Here I had the pleasure of staying in a luxurious villa with a private pool, where I could laze in the sun and take a refreshing dip.

It’s funny to look at the video I made (a few years later) – now I’ve stayed in more luxurious places, but my enjoyment there was really genuine

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 85
My villa with private pool and a huge outdoor “bath”.

There are many different types of rooms – “rooms” is a bad word, because you stay in villas spread over a larger area, so you feel very private.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 87

See more photos and book here.

The resort’s facilities are of a high standard and there are plenty of opportunities to relax, enjoy good food and take part in activities.

Whether you prefer spa treatments, exploring the area or simply lying by the pool, your wishes will be fulfilled at Naya Gawana.


6. Nusa Dua – Best area for luxury hotels (near the airport)

Nusa Dua is very different from other popular vacation destinations in Bali.

It is a specially developed resort area that offers visitors a private, luxurious and safe experience.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 89

So you won’t find as authentic a Bali here as in some of the other regions I mention in this guide.

However, for those looking for a relaxed and quiet vacation away from the crowds – possibly in a luxury hotel – Nusa Dua has a lot to offer.

The beaches of Nusa Dua are known for being some of the cleanest in Bali. The water is crystal clear and ideal for snorkeling and diving, something Bali is not usually known for.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 91

Another unique attraction is The Bali Collection, a large open-air shopping and entertainment complex. Here you can shop for everything from luxury items to local handicrafts, making a visit to the area worthwhile.

Compared to busier and noisier areas such as Kuta and Seminyak, Nusa Dua offers a more relaxed and luxurious experience where you can dip your toes into the calm sea, explore vibrant coral reefs and enjoy world-class dining and shopping at your own pace.

NUSA DUA Tour | Tips I Wish I Knew Before Visiting❤️🌎💰

It is an excellent place to stay in Bali if you are looking for a well-organized vacation area close to other popular vacation areas in the south of the island, where the airport is also located.

If you are traveling in Bali, it is a convenient place to start or end your trip.

Best places to stay in Nusa Dua

Let me start with one of the best hotels in Bali, the 👉 Apurva Kempinski Bali, which undeniably stands for luxury in a class of its own.

This hotel not only offers good value for money, but also a range of facilities to make your stay even more enjoyable.

The large swimming pool invites you to relax and the children can have fun in the children’s club, while the adults can enjoy a meal in one of the hotel’s restaurants.


7. Sanur – Beach town with family-friendly hotels

Sanur is a good choice if you are looking for the best place for a Bali vacation with children. Sanur is a good choice for families looking for a balance between comfort and a fulfilling vacation experience.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 107

The proximity to the airport saves long transfers, which is particularly advantageous for travelers with children.

Where to stay in Bali? The 7 best areas and places to stay 🇮🇩 109

One of the main attractions of Sanur is its beach. It is welcoming for families, with calm waters and a less crowded ambience compared to some of the more popular beaches in Bali.

This makes it a suitable place for children to play and enjoy the sea and for adults to relax in a peaceful environment.

Sanur has a tourist-friendly atmosphere without being overwhelming. The streets are lined with stores and markets that invite you to take a leisurely stroll and buy local handicrafts and souvenirs.

How is SANUR, Bali in 2023? (Beachfront Guided Tour)

For families, Sanur is a blend of convenience, relaxation and cultural experience. Its uncomplicated nature, coupled with key amenities and attractions, makes it an ideal base for a family vacation in Bali.

It’s probably not the most authentic area of Bali, but I’ve already mentioned a few in this guide, so I also wanted to introduce a family-friendly area that’s perfect as a base to relax and enjoy.

Best places to stay in Sanur

Da Sanur meiner Meinung nach der perfekte Ort für Familien ist, sind die Hotels, die ich empfehlen werde, alle sehr familienfreundlich. Fangen wir mit den luxuriösesten an und arbeiten uns preislich nach unten.

Das 👉 Andaz Bali – a Concept by Hyatt befindet sich direkt am Strand und bietet ein luxuriöses Erlebnis in einem modernen Ambiente.

This place is perfect for those looking for a comfortable stay without a high price tag, and the flexibility of the different room types adds to its appeal.

This was my personal opinion of the accommodation in Bali.

What I liked about Bali was probably the beautiful nature and the experiences you have when you enter “the country”.

It is easy and affordable to hire a private driver, for example, to ensure that transportation from one place to another is an experience.

For example, during our transfer from Sidemen to West Bali National Park, a trekking tour was planned in the village of Mayong.

This way, it didn’t feel like a long drive, but rather a day of sightseeing where we ended up in a new hotel in a new area.

I recommend traveling around Bali and not just booking 14 days in the same hotel.

But that is of course entirely up to you.

I hope this guide to accommodation in Bali has been helpful for you and you now know better where to stay on your trip.


Websites that I use to book my trips

  • 👉 Agoda is my favourite site for booking hotels and unique stays.

  • 👉 GetYourGuide is my top pick for booking tours and activities worldwide.

The best time of year to visit Bali depends on your preferences and what you want to experience on your trip. In general, the climate in Bali is tropical, so it is hot and humid all year round. The high season in Bali is from June to August and from December to New Year. During this time, hotel prices can be higher and the beaches are often very crowded.

The best time for sunny days and little rain is from April to October. This is also the best time to explore the island’s beautiful beaches and dive sites as well as Bali’s nature and culture.

Where should you not stay overnight in Bali?

If you are looking for charming, unspoiled places in Bali, you should avoid Kuta. This area is incredibly touristy and has lost much of its original charm and character. While there is a lively nightlife, stores and restaurants here, the overwhelming crowds and noise can be a little too much for those looking for a quieter, more authentic Bali experience. If you’re looking for tranquillity and the charm that Bali is known for, it may be more rewarding to explore other parts of the island.
