24 Best Hotels in Bali, From Oceanview Villas to Jungle-Immersed Escapes | Condé Nast Traveler

"One of Bali’s most respected five-star all-villa retreats, and one of the first international chains to have arrived on the island, the Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay has been offering its own form of warm hospitality for more than three decades. After arriving at the open-air hilltop lobby, guests are gently ushered from the reception balé to a blessing from the resident Balinese Hindu priest—a completely magical welcome. Golf carts shuttle guests around the property, which is more compact than the winding lanes convey, not to mention perfectly laid out. Beyond its vibrant cultural programming, the resort is a beach playground in and of itself, with all manner of aquatic activities possible in the gentle bay out front plus a trio of divine swimming pools, including the 187-foot-long stunner just above the sand at Sundara, an “it” spot for live music and craft cocktails as well as bountiful Sunday brunches." - Chris Schalkx, Kathryn Romeyn
