Alila Seminyak is all about laidback luxury. Located right on the beach, this sleek, eco-conscious resort includes dreamy features like award-winning interior design, a beach bar, an on-site gym and a spa facility. Did we mention there’s also five pools? The rooms are contemporary and boast balconies that open out to the ocean or lush tropical gardens. You’re just minutes from Seminyak’s buzzing cafes, shops and bars, but with pools like these, you might not want to leave.

Set on ten hectares of lush Balinese rainforest, Maya Ubud Resort is a haven for travellers looking to disconnect and reset. The vibe here is peaceful and indulgent, think villas with private pools, daybeds that look out over the jungle and a luxurious day spa surrounded by tropical greenery. Here, you can join a sunrise yoga session, explore nearby rice terraces or sip cocktails as the sun sets behind the trees. Or, you can just do absolutely nothing. Sounds pretty good to us.

Can we let you in on a little secret? This is one hotel you’ll want to visit before the whole world finds out about it. Located on Lombok’s scenic west coast, Seven Secrets is a five-star hideaway that’s all about making your holiday feel as luxurious as possible. With just 24 suites, each featuring stunning views, a private terrace and an in-room jacuzzi, this place is a proper escape from the everyday. Lounge by the beachfront pool, book in at the spa or explore nearby secret beaches with a personal guide to make the most of the relative peace and quiet.

If your perfect day starts with a sunrise surf and ends with a massage and a cocktail, Como Uma Canggu is your spot. This sleek beachfront hotel blends modern design with wellness facilities, like a lagoon pool, state-of-the-art gym with two yoga and pilates studios, plus healthy dining options at the COMO Beach Club and Glow Juice Bar. Rooms range from sleek suites to sprawling residences with private pools, all just steps from Canggu’s epic surf breaks.

More than just a resort, Como Shambhala Estate is a sanctuary in every sense of the word. It’s nestled in the hills of Ubud (about a 90 drive from Denpasar Airport) and offers tailored health programs, organic meals, Kedara spring pools, holistic spa treatments and daily activities like Pilates, guided meditation and even a traditional Balinese Water Purification Ceremony. Accommodation is your choice of a luxury suite or private villa with infinity pools overlooking the Ayung River. It’s safe to say you’ll walk out feeling better than when you arrived.

If there’s one thing Bali knows how to do well, it’s a hotel pool – and this one’s hard to beat. Perched on a cliff above the Indian Ocean, Anantara Uluwatu is all about location, luxury and serious views. The resort’s modern suites and villas come with private jacuzzis and generous balconies, while the cliff top spa, multiple restaurants and private beach access cover the rest. There’s even a surf break right below the hotel. It’s honeymoon material, but worth it for the sunset alone.
-
Mulia Resort is one of Bali’s most famous stays, and for good reason. Located in peaceful Nusa Dua, this enormous beachfront resort has six pools, nine restaurants and bars, and palatial rooms with marble bathrooms, deep soak bathtubs and private balconies. The grounds and service are next level, and the secluded white sand beach out front is something straight off a postcard. Bring your best linen outfit and don’t skip the breakfast buffet.

Just a five minute drive from the Balangan beach surf break in south Bali, Cross Bali Breakers nails the brief for a stylish, no-stress escape. Each of the 57 guestrooms comes with its own private plunge pool, garden and breezy indoor-outdoor setup – perfect for slow mornings and sunset dips. When you’re ready to explore outside your villa, the resort has three big pools, a wellness centre and a surf-inspired bar for post-beach drinks. It’s quiet, relaxed and ideal for couples, families or groups chasing their own slice of paradise.
