Bali destinations and villa areas

Where to spend a fortnight in Bali

Compare Canggu, Umalas, Seseh, Bedugul, Ubud, Uluwatu and Seminyak by beaches, dining, culture, nature and the type of Bali villa holiday you want.

Every area, side by side

Find the best Bali area for couples, families, surf trips, wellness escapes, mountain stays or easy access to restaurants and beaches.

Surf, dining and beach clubs

Surf in the morning, long lunches, and more good restaurants than you will get through in a week. Busy, and unapologetic about it.

Private villas near Canggu

Ten minutes from Canggu and considerably calmer. Leafy lanes and family villas, which is why people end up staying longer than they planned.

Quiet coastal villas

Rice fields, a dark-sand beach and not much else. The west-coast restaurants are close when you want them.

Rice fields by the west coast

A village of rice fields just past Seseh, a short walk from the black-sand coast. Quiet days, and Canggu close enough for dinner.

Mountain villas and nature

Up in the mountains, where Bali gets cool enough for a jumper in the evening. Lakes, forest and no traffic.

Clifftop villas and beaches

Clifftops, serious surf, and sunsets people plan the whole day around.

Jungle villas and wellness

Inland and green, built around temples and rice terraces, with a long habit of people coming here to slow down.

Beach, dining and shopping

Beach clubs, boutiques and sunset dining, most of it within walking distance.
