It’s no surprise that Bali has become a hotspot for luxury villas, with beachfront and hillside villas providing the perfect backdrop for any traveller looking to vacation in style.
These high-end accommodations are perfect for those who want to relax and enjoy themselves in a luxurious setting while being close enough to everything they need.
That’s why I’ve hand-picked the top luxury villas in Bali for your perusal.
These properties will give you everything you need to feel like a monarch wherever you go: private pools, personal chefs, and even your own masseuse. Once you go, it is hard to leave.
1. Villa Naga Putih, Ubud
Location: Br Umahanyar Pejeng Kaja Ubud
Starting Rate: $837/night
Villa Naga Putih offers an unforgettable experience for those seeking a place to stay in Bali.
You can expect nothing less than a luxurious retreat where you’ll feel like you’re in a dream. The materials used throughout are all locally sourced and sustainable.
When you arrive at the villa, you will be greeted by the smiling faces of the staff members.
There’s a great pool area with loungers so everyone can relax while they hang out in the sun, and there are also tables with umbrellas if you want to have lunch outside.
When it’s time to go inside, there are plenty of places to sit down and enjoy your meal, whether at the dining room table or on one of the couches in front of the TV. There’s even a study where you can go if you need some quiet time.
The best part about your stay at this villa was that it felt like home. If you’re feeling adventurous and want to get outside, there are hiking trails nearby that lead through the jungle and up into the mountains.
And if you’re lucky enough to visit during the rainy season, May–October, you might even find yourself surrounded by waterfalls.

2. The Ungasan Clifftop Resort, Uluwatu
Location: The Ungasan, Jalan Pantai Selatan Gau, Ungasan
Starting Rate: $550/night
If you’re looking for a luxury getaway that’s a little cosier than the average resort, I have just the place for you.
The Ungasan Clifftop Resort is located in Ungasan Cliff on the north coast of Badung Regency and offers some of the most breathtaking views you’ll find anywhere on earth.
Now, I don’t want to brag or anything, but I’ve been to about a million different resorts in my life. And let me tell you: this one takes the cake.
The resort is on a cliff overlooking the Indian Ocean, so every room has a private balcony to take advantage of those stunning views. You can watch whales swim by while you sip your coffee while waiting for your carpool to pick you up.
The rooms themselves are luxurious and spacious and feature private bathrooms with showers and minibars stocked with your choice of beverages from around the world.
When you arrive at your luxury villa, you will immediately strike by the beauty of the place. The infinity pool looks like it is made of glass and seems to stretch forever.
Several people are relaxing there, but it doesn’t feel crowded or overwhelming.
The fitness centre had gym equipment, yoga mats, and other items that would make working out while on vacation easy and fun.
This whole atmosphere makes you think it’s like your second house, and that’s extremely nice if you want to feel home when you are abroad.
Their attention to detail and care for your well-being are truly unique and made my stay even more enjoyable than I could have imagined.

Picture this: you’re sitting on an outdoor deck overlooking the ocean with your feet up and a glass of wine in one hand.
You’ve got your eye on the sunset and maybe a good book in your other hand. You’re just sitting there, enjoying the quiet, peaceful solitude.
That’s what Mandala the Bay is all about. It’s a villa tucked away from it all. If you’re like me, you want to get away from it all sometimes.
You want a place where you can be alone with your thoughts and recharge your batteries. And yet you still want the kind of service and amenities that let you know you’re still in a 5-star hotel.
The villa is perfectly situated on Nusa Lembongan so you can enjoy the beach in your spare time and have access to some of the best snorkelling spots.
The villa offers 3 bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom. In addition, you will have an open-air living area with views of both the ocean and the jungle canopy.
I’m a big fan of Mandala the Bay, Nusa Lembongan. It’s got 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms so that it can accommodate 10 guests.
This pick is also suitable for children under 5 years old. And if you have kids who aren’t quite that young yet, they’ll still love it because it has a deck overlooking the bay.

You’ll be surrounded by a pool that looks like it’s floating in the middle of the ocean, with views stretching across the horizon. It’s dotted with stars and maybe even a shooting star or two.
When you’re not taking in that view from your infinity pool, you can lounge on one of the many outdoor couches or wander around exploring all the different rooms.
You’ll find a dining area where you can enjoy some delicious food and drinks prepared by your chef.
You’ll have panoramic windows that let you look over the whole island and catch glimpses of other islands in the distance.
When you stay at the Grand Cliff-Front Residence at Karma Kandara, you get the experience that makes you feel like you’re living in a luxury hotel. With all the privacy and comfort of home.
