Whether celebrating a special occasion or you want to get away from it all, consider staying in one of the best beach resorts in Bali.
Bali is everything you would expect a paradise to be – abundant lush greens, crystal clear waters, and a serene tropical setting. Dubbed the Island of the Gods, Bali is the ultimate destination for a relaxing holiday. Its stunning natural beauty of lush greenery and spectacular beaches make it a haven for travelers seeking relaxation.
As one of the world’s top tourist destinations, Bali has no shortage of excellent accommodation options. If you want to splurge while experiencing the laidback and luxurious vibe of the tropical island, consider spending a night or two in a beach resort. There are plenty to choose from – others are nestled on a quiet corner of the island, while some are sitting atop a cliff overlooking the ocean.
If you need suggestions on where to stay, here’s my list of the best Bali beach resorts! Also, be sure to my guides on Planning a Trip to Bali, Glamping in Bali, and Things To Do in Uluwatu for more trip inspiration!
