Bali has all the most beautiful hotels with infinity pools. Many hotels and resorts are actually so beautiful that we count some of them as must do’s in Bali. They are almost attractions and contribute to the wonderful Bali atmosphere. They are also fantastic in design and often very unique. To be honest it’s probably impossible to visit all of these beautiful places in a single visit. The choice is so overwhelming that it may prove difficult to choose from the many hotels on Booking.com. That is why we are here to help you choose. We have spent more than 16 weeks in Bali and actually live here now for some time. After all we have seen the list below has been our final choice of the in our opinion most beautiful and special hotels in Bali.
You will think that it will cost you your pension. And of course some hotels are a bit more expensive per night but you won’t really have to break the bank..
We sometimes choose to spend a few nights in a cheaper accommodation so that we can spend 1 or 2 nights in a super cool but slightly more expensive hotel or sometimes we take a day pass.

This way you have a perfect way to watch your budget and to see the coolest spots. In this article we will also tell you if the hotels can be visited with a day pass. We have to say that Bali has so many beautiful places that we could honestly have made this into a top 20. So if your favorite hotel is not listed, we will probably add it quickly (you can also leave a message).
# 10 Mercure Sanur
Location: South Bali, Sanur
Description:
Such a wonderful hotel in Sanur. The hotel is built in the old Balinese style and has beautiful gardens where you can stroll around. It is located by the sea and has its own beach. The hotel staff is so friendly and immediately knows you by name which we found really special. This is a wonderful place to start your Bali trip quietly, get used to the time difference and just relax before the trip starts.

Price: From € 55 per night

# 9 Padma Hotel Ubud
Location: North of Ubud
Description:
The reason that this hotel is on our list is because of the fantastic swimming pool. Because the hotel is located at a higher location in Bali, it is a bit cooler here. That is why the swimming pool is fully heated. It makes it all the more wonderful to watch the sunrise from the swimming pool early in the morning. There is nothing negative to say about the rest of the hotel facilities, but that is not the reason to go there. You really do this for this huge swimming pool.
Day pass: Yes this is available for € 22 per adult of which € 12 of this can be spent on food in the pool bar where you can have a delicious lunch.
Price: From € 170 per night

# 8 Bambu Indah
Location: Ubud
Bambu Indah is a resort that is completely eco and focused on sustainability. Almost everything you can eat is also organically grown on the complex itself. They have a number of beautiful houses in the middle of nature. In particular, we recommend the Riverbend house and Moon houses that are entirely made of bamboo and that overlook the Agung River. The nice thing is that you see the rafts passing by here in the morning.
Daypass: River Pool Day Pass for € 25,-
Price: From € 150 per night

# 5 Chapung Sebali
Location: Ubud
Description:
This hotel has secretly stolen our hearts. We have slept here in both a Pool Villa and in a Pool Suite. Both accommodations were super in terms of design and comfort. The kitchen of the hotel is fantastic from breakfast to dinner. The great thing about this hotel is that Jungle Fish (the only beach club in Bali that is not on the beach) is part of the hotel. Jungle Fish is a super cool place with a fantastic swimming pool that overlooks a jungle valley. Throughout the day fun music is played here (and not too loud) in short, a wonderful place to relax.
Daypass: Yes is available. It costs € 12 to visit Jungle Fish for a day.
Price: From € 175 per night

Beautiful small-scale complex situated on a large piece of land with rice fields and the most beautiful gardens. The hotel has the most special villas in beautiful Balinese style. This place is wonderful to relax and has a beautiful swimming pool. We found this a wonderful place away from the crowds in Ubud. Oh and bring your drone if you are here 😉 .

# 3 Munduk Moding Plantation
Location: North Bali Munduk
Description:
This pool is breathtaking. You will be amazed here especially during the sunset. The hotel guest will form a line for this view though. This is a hotel that you really don’t want to leave but because the area has so many cool waterfalls you sometimes have to get out to discover the area around. The hotel is located on a coffee plantation where you can walk around. The food is fantastic and because it is small, you have met all other guests in no time.
Daypass: You can also use the swimming pool here for lunch. (but not the jacuzzi: o)
Price: from € 150 per night

This house is really a fairy tale everything is beautifully decorated and feels super clean even though the house is open. The view is breathtaking.
