PinkCoco Uluwatu
When you think of PinkCoco Uluwatu, Barbie probably isn’t far from your mind. Almost everything here is pink – playful, a little kitschy, but somehow effortlessly cool. It’s one of our favorite picks when it comes to the best boutique hotels in Bali’s Uluwatu area.
There are just 8 rooms, each with its own style and set at different price points to suit various budgets.
PinkCoco promises you’ll be constantly surprised during your stay. We already know one surprise… but you’ll have to check the hotel yourself to find out. Hint: there’s a reason this is an adults-only escape.
Ikigai Uluwatu
At Ikigai Uluwatu, everything carries a Japanese influence. Starting with the name, which means “what makes life worth living”.
This Bali boutique hotel is a beautiful fusion of Japanese minimalism and Balinese warmth. The design is Zen-inspired, with clean lines, open spaces and soft ochre accents. It’s calm, airy and instantly puts you at ease, while the staff are every bit as welcoming as you’d expect in Bali.
It’s also one of the most beautiful hotels in Bali.
La Cabane
This little Bali boutique hotel even has its own beach. Just make your way down a few steps and you’re right on the sand.
But La Cabane is much more than its location. With six individually styled bungalows and a private villa, it’s small, peaceful and wonderfully laid-back. Think swaying palm trees, thatched wooden huts around a pool and the feeling you’ve stumbled into your own little slice of paradise.
Each room has been put together with real attention to detail – a blend of rustic charm, boho touches and Balinese design. And the bathrooms? Covered, yet open to the outdoors. Simply beautiful.
Autentik Penida Glamping
Ever camped in the jungle? If not, Autentik Penida Glamping is your chance, but with all the comforts of a boutique hotel.
Forget sleeping bags and lumpy mats. These luxury tents come with a proper bed, a private bathroom and all the amenities you’d expect from the best boutique hotels in Bali, including a pool.
The best part? The tents are set on platforms above the jungle. Slide back the canvas in the morning and you’re greeted by sweeping views over the treetops. It’s a perfect mix of comfort and raw nature.
Pramana Natura
At Pramana Natura you can choose between a stylish room or a spacious villa. The villas come with a private pool and plenty of space, while the rooms are more compact and give you access to the beautiful infinity pool.
This is one of our most favorite hotels by the sea in Bali, decorated in an elegant, maritime style. Every room, as well as the pool, offers breathtaking ocean views that make it easy to linger for hours. There’s no beach directly in front of the hotel, but the scenery more than makes up for it.
Villa Kayu Lama
While there’s no ocean in the heart of Bali, staying near Ubud means you’re right in the middle of lush rice fields, swaying palms and tropical greenery. Villa Kayu Lama is one of those affordable boutique hotels Bali is known for – peaceful, beautifully designed and surrounded by nature.
If you book early, you can sometimes find rooms from around 1,000,000 IDR. For a special treat, an entire villa in the complex is available for about 3,300,000 IDR – great if you spend your honeymoon on Bali.
A stay in Ubud is the perfect base for exploring the island’s interior – from Bali’s waterfalls and temples to its iconic rice terraces – making it one of the best boutique hotels Bali has for travelers who want both relaxation and adventure.
The Edicha
The Edicha is a tiny, charming spot with just three individually designed rooms, each bright and full of character.
Unlike the busy south or the cultural center of Ubud, Lovina in the north is still an insider tip in Bali. That means you can enjoy one of the most unique Bali hotels at a much lower price than in the island’s hotspots. A double room with breakfast often starts at around 850,000 IDR.
Breakfast here is a real event: the owner runs his own bakery, serving up fresh bread rolls, buttery croissants, pastries and more every morning. It’s a rare treat in Bali and one of the reasons The Edicha is one of our best hoteltips for Bali.
