As befits an island where tourism is the main - practically the only - business, Bali has hundreds of hotels, resorts and guesthouses of all descriptions to fit all budgets. Although accommodation (especially the posh places) can be found all over the island, the main concentration is in the South Bali districts of Kuta, Legian and Seminyak.

The Editor's Picks below lists only those hotels which we've had some personal experience with, or had feedback from other travelers about. You can view a list of all the hotels in Bali that can be booked online by name, price, class ('stars') or by district. Many more options are listed on our hotel partner Agoda.

Villa Rentals

As one of the world's leading vacation destinations, there are a lot of options on Bali for accommodations outside of the standard hotels. Bali boasts a wide selection of vacation homes - "villas" in vacation-speak - for rent. Most of these have three or more bedrooms and are usually offered on a weekly rather than nightly basis. They are quite attractive for large family vacations or small self-organized groups.
