Easily one of the most instagrammable villas in beautiful Bali, The Cali Villas channels 1970s Pasadena vibes meets a cover straight out of Architectural Digest Magazine. We are obsessed with the white wash walls, cacti, pastel hues and funky works of art all set to the floor to ceiling windows out to your own private plunge pool (with plenty of kitschy pool toys included of course) for a romantic escape with your boo.

Echo Beach, Jl. Pantai Batu Mejan, Canggu COMO UMA Canggu

For the ultimate picturesque laidback vibes, treat yourself to this mesmerising luxury hotel right on the beloved Echo Beach in Canggu. Located on the south coast, this hotel’s jam is less about the beach club scene—though the drinks, pools and ocean views will not disappoint—and more about making little moments for you and your lover. Cue the onsite yoga rooms, pilates studios, dedicated Jungle Sports studio and let's not forget the COMO Shambhala Retreat home to the best massage you'll ever have.

Best Romantic Places To Stay In Ubud, Bali

Jl. Raya Dalem, Banjar Triwangsa Desa Keliki, Kecamatan Tegallalang, Ubud Capella Ubud

Hidden deep in the Balinese jungle, the Capella Ubud is the ultimate retreat for those looking to escape from it all. Offering an unparalleled experience, couples will find solace in 22 one-bedroom luxury tents, accessed via a suspension bridge that seamlessly connects to the hotel's communal spaces. Far from ordinary, the “tents” are lavishly decorated, boasting an eclectic mix of furnishings, including grand four-poster beds. The hotel also features a gym, tented spa and shared pool area, however guests can also take advantage of their own private deck and salt-water plunge pools located directly off their rooms. 

Jalan Raya Ayodya, 80552 Tampaksiring Moon Price

Disclaimer—Moon Price is technically located in Tampaksiring, which is about a 30-minute drive outside of Ubud but we really couldn't pass on including this beautiful luxury villa because 'exhibit A'—waterslide. This brand new bamboo villa is located inside the Eco Six Resort and you'll get to lap up all the sunsine on a the stunning outdoor patio which includes a net hammock. There's also a big ol' tub overlooking the tropics just in case you wanted to go full maxo-relaxo.

Penjiwaan Community Dragon House, 80571 Ubud Dragon House

We mean, just look at this stunning piece of art. From the carved stone tubs and the bath gardens to the vanishing edge pool and the immaculate attention to detail, Dragon House is easily one of the most swoon-worthy luxury villas in Bali. Keeping four bedrooms, a spa with a sauna and steam room this gorgeous jungle palace is hiden amid scenic rice fields that overlook a river. But enough talking, get booking.

Kedewatan II No. 9, Ubud, 80571 Ubud Villa Melati

Best Romantic Places To Stay In Uluwatu, Bali

Bingin Beach, Uluwatu Beachfront Luxury Suite

It doesn't get much more romantic than this spectacular Beachfront Luxury Suite in Uluwatu—wake up to the gentle sounds of crashing waves and soak in breathtaking ocean sunsets from the comfort of your private villa. Arguably perched in one of Bali's most unbeatable locations, we're obsessed with this smart textural design of this minimalist pad that lets nature speak for itself. Let the afternoon breeze saunter through the property while you unwind in the luxurious stone soaking tub, before heading down the cliff for an afternoon swim or snooze on the white pristine sands. 

Uluwatu Las Palmas Uluwatu

Boasting five ultra-chic boutique suites in the heart of Bali's best surf breaks and fine dining experiences, Las Palmas Uluwatu crept onto our radar for good reason. Blending Grecian flair with Balinese charm, you could easily lose a few days sitting poolside sipping a cocktail basking in that balmy Indonesian sunshine. We love their super plush furnishings and white wash design that give a little nod to Mykonos without the pricey round-the-world plane ticket. Perfect for a sneaky romantic long weekend away, we guarantee you'll love this one. 

Jalan Belimbing Sari, Tambiyak Desa Pecatu, 80364 Uluwatu Alila Villas

The breathtaking architecture of Alila has to be seen to be believed with cabanas suspended in what seems like mid air, dangling over the Uluwatu cliff tops looking over the dazzling azure seas below. This place oozes luxury and sophistication, and is perfect for a big celebration splurge trip with a choice of ridiculously decadent private villas offering unparalleled oceanfront views right from the privacy as well as perfectly furnished interiors and second-to-none staff ready to fulfill your every desire.

Jl. Pura Goa Lempeh, Banjar Dinas Kangin, 80364 Uluwatu The Edge Bali

If there’s a hotel in Bali you’ve seen on your Instagram feed, it’s been this one. The Edge Bali is a clifftop stay that will probably bring tears to your eyes, that’s how absolutely stunning it is. There’s only eight rooms so you can expect to be forking out a few payslips for this one but we mean, who can put a price on plunge pools, a 24-hour butler service, private gardens, endless views of the Indian Ocean, a bowling alley, karaoke room and rooftop tennis? It’s disgustingly perfect. On the food and beverage side of things, you’re also spoilt for choice too (how unfortunate)—One Eighty is a day club with a glass-bottom sky pool; The Cliff Bar is a cocktail haven with a equally frightening and fantastic glass floor; The Club Bar is a sophisticated nook to sip on fancy bottles of wine; and finally, The Cave is a 22-seat subterranean restaurant located in an ancient cave. Ridiculous.


Best Romantic Places To Stay In Nusa Dua, Bali

Nusa Dua Gladak Private Pool Villa

This rare Airbnb find is nestled into an enormous garden perched right on the edge of lush jungle, meaning you can feel completely removed from the chaos of everyday life with your lover by your side. Grab a good book and set yourself in the rooftop hammock, or take a splash in your epic private sparkling pool. With gorgeous views from your sweeping canopy bed and stone soaking tub, you'll never need to leave the property—but if you eventually do, there's a ton of great restaurants and bars right nearby for a candlelit meal or tipple.

Kawasan Wisata ITDC Lot. 1, 80363 Nusa Dua Meliá

There are several villa options secluded deep within the pristine grounds of Nusa Dua's Meliá: one primed for you and that special someone, and another set up for two couples wanting to experience a little Balinese escapism as a group. King-size beds, outdoor showers and tubs, and a private pool come standard, though it's the signature Meliá nuances that will have this villa at the top of your list. Meliá's villas are part of The Level, an premium program giving guests access to a private pool on the property, exclusive dining areas, discounts at the on-site spa YHI (opt for the trad Balinese massage) and a private beach—it's a true VIP experience.
