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

"Built into a clifftop above one of Bali’s loveliest beaches, this resort’s chic mix of alabaster architecture and luxury villas makes for a stay fit for royalty, against glittering panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. A private entrance leads right onto buzzy Dreamland Beach, just seconds from the pool, where you’ll find the island’s best surfing. The design nods to Bali’s ancient maritime kingdom—you’ll spy many water features spilling into bubbling koi ponds and glassy pools—and exceptionally well-manicured grounds mean the only hair out of place is the odd creamy flower that's wafted to the ground from the waxy-leaved Japun trees. A top-notch spa, two excellent restaurants, and a majestic triple-tiered infinity pool flanked by friendly staff ready with a cocktail menu seal the deal." - Chris Schalkx, Kathryn Romeyn
