As befits an island where tourism is the main — practically the only — business, Bali has hundreds of luxury hotels, resorts and private villas. Every major destination has its share of POSH places to stay, so the first thing you need to decide is which part of Bali you want to stay in.

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.
