Bali is an island where you can live and relax for weeks or months, and still not see everything. The landscapes and types of recreation here are so varied. I really love both the rice terraces of Bali and the golden sandy beaches, and the cliffs where the waves crash. Therefore, my recommendation is to come to Bali for a long time and travel around the island. This selection features the 5 best 5-star hotels located near different beaches. The image galleries and prices get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on November 08, 2024.

The stylish hotel Potato Head Suites & Studios is located in Seminyak. I was attracted by the interesting natural interior with an abundance of wooden and plant details.
The hotel is located just a few steps from Batu Belig Beach. Popular attractions such as Petitenget and Seminyak beaches, as well as the Petitenget Temple, are also nearby the hotel.
Batu Belig is not the most vibrant beach in Bali; it is relatively uncrowded and quite spacious. This place is perfect for those who want to recharge and simply relax.
This hotel offers free bicycle rental, free private parking, an outdoor pool, and a beautiful garden. For me personally, the availability of bicycles is a great bonus. Riding along the beach at sunset is a great pleasure!
There is a terrace and a bar on the hotel grounds. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, a seating area, and an electric kettle. The more basic category rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the city or garden, while guests in the suite can enjoy their private pool. Rooms in the Desa and Oceanfront categories offer sea views from the balcony.
Breakfast is served daily and includes continental, English/Irish, or American dishes. The hotel restaurant serves Indonesian, Italian, and Mediterranean cuisine, as well as vegetarian, dairy-free, and vegan dishes upon request.
What I liked most about this hotel was the feeling of spaciousness. There are large floor-to-ceiling windows everywhere, a lot of light, space, and high ceilings in the rooms and common areas. This hotel is suitable for those who need to recharge, for those who are not currently chasing bright impressions, but want a measured and predictable rest.

- Massage
- Massage / Beauty Centre
- Aerobics on site
- Billiards
- Beach Soccer and Volleyball
- Bicycle Rental
SOL by Meliá Benoa Bali All Inclusive is a hotel offering an all-inclusive vacation on the shores of Tanjung Benoa beach. The place is literally immersed in tropical gardens!
The hotel has a private beach that can be reached through the hotel’s garden. It is a nice sandy beach, but not very large. However, to the right of the hotel, there are other beaches also worth visiting: for example, Pantai Samuh is a 5-minute walk or 400 meters away. You will definitely have plenty to do on the beach, as there are many cafes and other entertainments.
On the hotel grounds, there is a stunningly beautiful pool of an original shape. Here you can take advantage of spa services from a luxurious menu and the amenities of a private beach.
The rooms are decorated in traditional Balinese style, each with private balconies and elegant bathrooms with rain showers. They are spacious and filled with light.
In the hotel restaurants, you can try exclusive dishes. The Kitchen restaurant serves Spanish dishes with a view of the garden, Amarta Restaurant offers Italian delicacies, and Menega — the open-air restaurant — allows you to enjoy dining in the fresh air.
For active leisure, there is a fitness center, a game room, and karaoke. The business center provides wired internet for an additional fee, but free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms and throughout the hotel.
As soon as you arrive at this hotel, you will feel right at home. Everything here is very organically planned and organized, with beautiful natural interiors everywhere, spacious and bright. You can sense the luxury and high level of comfort, but without pomp and frills. Additionally, there is a very abundant "all-inclusive" to fully enjoy your rest!
Grand Hyatt Bali
- Distance from city center:
- 0.4 km
- Bar / Lounge
- Massage
- Massage / Beauty Centre
- Aerobics on site
- Tennis Courts
- Bicycle Rental
- Karaoke
The luxurious five-star Grand Hyatt Bali is located in the Nusa Dua area. The hotel features five outdoor pools, a modern spa center, and eight restaurants. What an abundance!
The private beach of the hotel is part of Nusa Dua beach. The distance to the beach varies depending on the location of your room, but the walking time will be no more than 5 minutes. You can walk directly through the well-maintained green area of the hotel. The beach is beautiful, with fine soft sand, but there can be litter – although cleaning work is carried out continuously.
Guests are offered luxurious spacious rooms with private balconies. They are decorated in a modern style, filled with natural light.
The hotel offers a variety of leisure activities: from tennis and workouts in the fitness center to water sports such as diving and canoeing. Currency exchange services and bike rentals are also available.
In the Salsa Verde restaurant, Italian cuisine is served, while the Garden Café offers Asian and European dishes. For lovers of Balinese cuisine, there is the Watercourt restaurant, where you should try local delicacies.
One of the swimming pools features water slides: they are sure to please both you and your children!
The pleasant and comfortable hotel is best suited for family vacations and relaxation with children of various ages. You can spend a lot of time in this hotel without getting bored. However, if you find yourself in Bali, I would not advise you to limit yourself to just one hotel.
Vouk Hotel & Suites
- Distance from city center:
- 2.7 km
- Bar / Lounge
- Massage
- Massage / Beauty Centre
- Golf Course
- Karaoke
- Free Wi-Fi
- Garden
VOUK Hotel and Suites Nusa Dua Bali is the last hotel in my selection. It is famous for its spacious rooms and four high-end restaurants.
The hotel is just a 15-minute walk from Nusa Dua and Geger beaches, and 10 minutes from the Tanjung Benoa area, popular among water sports enthusiasts. The hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service to and from the beach, but it can also be reached by foot, especially when the weather is not hot.
The hotel features an outdoor pool, a gym, and a 24-hour front desk. The rooms are decorated in elegant brown tones, each with its own balcony.
The Rasa restaurant offers dishes from Asian and international cuisine, while the Orchid Lounge and Gallery Café serve light snacks and drinks. The Splash bar by the pool is a place to enjoy drinks in the evenings and watch the day go by. Breakfast and lunch can be ordered in the restaurant or to your room.
In my opinion, this hotel is not ideally located. It is neither right on the beach nor in the city center, so getting to the nearest supermarkets or restaurants will also require some travel.
Bali is ready to offer its guests a variety of leisure options: from luxurious five-star hotels to simple budget options. In this selection, my favorite is Hotel Tugu Bali - a unique place that transports you through time and space, immersing you in history and culture. It's very important for me to learn more about the place I'm in. All these hotels are good in their own way, offering a high level of rest and are located close to the beach. I hope this selection proves useful to you.

I will open my selection of the unique hotel Hotel Tugu Bali. It was created to tell travelers from around the world the most romantic stories, legends, and folklore of Indonesia. By entering this hotel, you immerse yourself in the atmosphere of authentic Bali, rich in the history of its cultural heritage. Here, you will be surrounded by an amazing collection of Indonesian artworks and antiques.
The hotel is located near Batu Bolong Beach and in the heart of the trendy Canggu area, just a few steps away from the best cafes, restaurants, and boutiques.
The distance to the beach is 100 meters.
This certified CHSE hotel offers guests luxurious suites. Nestled in tropical gardens, it features an outdoor pool, an Indonesian spa, and themed restaurants serving both Indonesian cuisine and European and modern Japanese dishes on the rooftop with views of the ocean and sunset. My recommendation is to dine in the garden! It’s especially cozy and refreshing experience.
All suites are designed in Balinese and Javanese style with wooden furniture. The rooms are very spacious. Some rooms have access to private pools, while others offer views of the garden and private spa areas. Bathrooms are equipped with tropical showers and large bathtubs. Complimentary coffee and tea from the Tugu plantation, the oldest in Java, are also available.
If I found myself in this hotel, I would happily undergo wellness treatments and use the spa services based on the ancient traditions and spirituality of Bali. On Thursdays, the hotel hosts performances of Balinese dance and music - a rare pleasure available only at the Tugu Hotel in the south-western part of Bali.
This is truly an extraordinary hotel that immerses you in the depth of Bali's culture and traditions while surrounding you with five-star comfort.
