"For surfers headed to Bali’s southwestern tip, there’s no sweeter destination in Bali than the independently owned Uluwatu Surf Villas, which has its own private staircase down a cliff that leads to some of the world’s most epic waves. But with 24 highly photogenic tropical modern villas and residences—each one uniquely designed in responsibly sourced timber and most with private pools—it’s an equally captivating destination for holidays that don’t include any surfing at all (multigenerational travelers will appreciate the accommodation configurations that range from one to five bedrooms)." - Kathryn Romeyn
