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

"This is Hoshinoya's first property outside of Japan, and though the rooms are larger, the room count is smaller than most of their properties, with 30 total villas. The resort was designed by Rie Azuma, who spent considerable time researching Hindu temples and traditional Balinese culture. It was important for them to keep an aspect of Japan in the design as a Japanese group, but they integrated it seamlessly with local design—beautiful wood and stone carvings can be found throughout the private and personal areas of the resort. There's a mixture of friends, couples, and even multi-generational travelers. Expect to see a celebrity, or anyone who wants the VIP treatment in a zen-like setting where near anonymity can be achieved." - Chris Schalkx, Kathryn Romeyn
