The Indonesian island of Bali, which is frequently referred to as the Island of the Gods and is situated between Java and Lombok, is a well-known island paradise, despite the fact that its fame has had an impact in some places. Bali’s vibrant, profoundly spiritual, and distinctive culture is set against a gorgeous backdrop of varied volcanic terrain, including rough coasts, sandy beaches, and lush rice terraces. The majority of Bali’s five-star hotels are found in Nusa Dua, Seminyak, and Ubud, making them some of the top hotels in the world. In contrast to the upscale beachside districts of Nusa Dua and Seminyak, which provide surfing and other beach sports, Ubud’s hotels offer the ideal Bali holiday tour from India who enjoy spas and cultural pursuits.
The former Banyan Tree property Jumana Bali Ungasan, which is located on the southern tip of Bali and is adjacent to the famous Uluwatu Temple, is 70 metres above sea level and has views of a beach with gold sand and the Indian Ocean. The majority of the 73 opulent villas at the resort have views of the ocean, and each one has a plunge pool, an outdoor hot tub, and lots of retractable floor-to-ceiling glass that transforms the bedrooms into outside cabanas. The interiors combine modern Asian and traditional Balinese elements, with sporadic carvings or statuettes changing the refined Banyan Tree style. The hotel has a number of top-notch restaurants and a top-notch spa.
In Bali’s cultural centre, Amandari, which was modelled after a traditional village, is surrounded by jungle and rice terraces. Visitors are sheltered under bamboo ceilings in alang-alang-thatched homes, some with pools and all with own tropical gardens, and their suites are tastefully furnished with teak and coconut wood. Children take dance lessons here, and religious processions frequently pass through. These activities lead down the steps that flow below Amandari to a 7th-century stone tiger, a design that can be seen all throughout the grounds of Aman’s outpost in Ubud. Visitors can take the road that leads out of the village and trek or cycle through the emerald-green countryside, or they can travel further to see artisanal villages, secret temples, and the palaces and shops of Ubud.
The elite Bvlgari group’s second hotel to open, the Bvlgari Resort Bali, is perched atop a jaw-dropping, 150 m-high cliff that cascades down to the Indian Ocean. An inclined elevator leads to a spotless private beach with a private beach club, ideal for leisurely walks along the beachfront. All 59 of the freestanding, private villas feature an open-air pavilion, a patio, and a private plunge pool, with the front row offering breathtaking ocean views. Every natural feature in the villas has been meticulously polished: floor-to-ceiling glass walls show off meticulously tended tropical plants, Indonesian wood floors sparkle.

In Pecatu, on Bali’s southernmost peninsula, which is also the location of “Pura Uluwatu,” a revered temple regarded as one of the island’s central spiritual pillars, is where you’ll find Six Senses Uluwatu Resort. From every perspective, the stunning Uluwatu resort’s continuous ocean vistas are influenced by Balinese architecture. The resort’s 103 rooms and villas were designed with local aesthetic inspiration to embrace nature while providing every modern convenience. The Six Senses Spa offers multi-day comprehensive wellness programmes, speciality treatments with local influences, and free morning yoga classes.
Alila Villas Uluwatu is located in the arid savannah region of the Bukit Peninsular in the south of the island. The view from the hotel’s setting is extremely breathtaking, with limestone cliffs dropping into the Indian Ocean. By merging the beauty of traditional Balinese pavilion design and countryside with a modern dynamic interpretation of space and form, the hotel’s architecture mixes in with these stunning surroundings. The simple design in the beautiful yet serene open-plan rooms is meant to evoke comfort and spaciousness.
