More than 2 million people flock to the island of Bali every year for its beaches, volcanoes and culture. Bali, the most visitor-friendly island in the Indonesian archipelago, is small enough to circumnavigate in only a day. The villas, hotels and bungalows in Bali offer value for the money they cost.

Villa Seminyak Estate and Spa

Only 10 minutes from bustling Kuta beach, the Villa Seminyak Estate and Spa offers villas with private swimming pools amid Bali's shopping and entertainment district. An on-site spa staff is available for a range of massage and spa treatments, and the villa's split-level restaurant serves Balinese and international specialties daily.

Bali T House

Located a short drive from Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali, is the charming Bali T House community. The layout of each house has been designed to promote harmony with the natural surroundings. Each private house features an outdoor garden bathroom and an open-air design, negating the need for air conditioning. The Bali T House staff comes to your house each morning to serve you breakfast on your patio overlooking the rice fields, and a staff driver is available to shuttle guests back and forth from central Ubud.

Martas

Gili Trawangan is one of three small islands off the coast of Bali. Trawangan, the largest of the three, is surrounded by pristine beaches, many of them undeveloped. Martas on Gili Trawangan is run by a British scuba instructor who came to Bali for a visit and never left. Each private two-story villa offers hot, fresh water, air conditioning, access to the pool and breakfast every morning. The hotel is a two-minute walk from the main beach, and Martas staff will arrange bike rentals and snorkeling/scuba trips.
