In a nutshell
- A stay in a jungle hotel is a truly special experience. Deep in Bali’s jungle, you can really switch off and recharge.
- We’ve handpicked the 5 best Bali jungle hotels for your Bali trip — sorted by price, so you can find the right fit for your budget.
- Our top pick is the Gumi Ayu EcoStay near Munduk — super affordable, stylish treehouses, and a waterfall rushing right outside your window.
- Most of our picks are in central Bali — the perfect base for rice fields, waterfalls, and temples. Even tucked away in the jungle, all of them are easily reachable by taxi or scooter.
Gumi Ayu EcoStay
The Gumi Ayu EcoStay is our top pick and the best value for money on this list. Starting at 60 euros, you get your own little treehouse tucked into the Bali jungle — making it one of our favorite best hotels in Bali.
The wooden cabins all have small balconies and panoramic windows, and they’re spread out through the jungle so you can truly soak up the peace and quiet. No road noise, no crowds — just birdsong and rustling leaves.
The hotel sits near Munduk in northern Bali, which is a great base for a road trip through Bali and puts you close to some of the most beautiful waterfalls in Bali. But here’s the real bonus: the hotel is right next to a waterfall. You can hear it rushing from your bed. Seriously — pure jungle vibes.
Autentik Penida Glamping
Want something truly out of the ordinary? At Autentik Penida Glamping, you stay in tents right in the middle of the jungle on Nusa Penida, east of Bali.
But this is glamping done right. The tents are built on raised platforms, you sleep in real beds, and you have your own gorgeous bathroom. That’s the kind of camping we’re totally on board with!
You can choose between a garden view, jungle view, or valley view. We’d go for the jungle view or the valley view — both are stunning.
Autentik Penida Glamping also features on our list of the most beautiful boutique hotels in Bali and our hotel tips for Nusa Penida.
The Studios
The Studios is set deep in the jungle but still perfectly positioned for a road trip through Bali. You’re just 5 minutes by scooter or taxi from central Ubud — yet when you look out the window, there’s no sign of the city. Just jungle, starting right at your terrace. What a view!
For one of Bali’s jungle resorts, it’s surprisingly bright and modern in style, which is part of why it’s one of our top hotel picks for Bali. There are four apartments in total, and every single one has its own private pool. Whichever you choose, you really can’t go wrong.
Pramana Giri Kusuma
At Pramana Giri Kusuma, you’re truly immersed in the jungle — it doesn’t get more surrounded than this. From every window, balcony, and terrace, all you see is lush rainforest stretching out in every direction.
You can choose between a suite or villas of various sizes. The whole place is decorated in a boho style, and you keep discovering new little details around every corner — it’s that kind of property.
Best of all: even though you’re staying in the heart of Bali’s jungle, you’re only 30 minutes from the top sights in Ubud if you rent a scooter in Bali.
Bubble Hotel Bali
The Bubble Hotel is hands-down the most unique place to stay on our list of Bali jungle hotels. You sleep in a transparent bubble with a 360-degree view straight into the jungle — right in the heart of Bali.
And no, you don’t need to worry about privacy. Each bubble is set in its own private, secluded area. You also get your own bathroom, a garden, and if you want to splash out, even a private pool.
For such a one-of-a-kind Ubud jungle hotel experience, you do need to budget a bit more. During peak season, expect prices starting at 300 euros per night. Check our article on the best time to visit Bali to find out when that is.
