It’s rare to find a travel bucket list that doesn’t feature the sublimely beautiful island of Bali. Of course, the island has an impressive selection of upscale hotels to book, but an increasing number of fantastic Airbnbs make a compelling alternative for those seeking out sunset views and proximity to surf. For one, you’ll get the pool all to yourself.
We’ve searched high and low for this selection of the best Airbnbs to book across Bali, with everything from villas close to the vibrant nightlife to secluded boltholes hidden firmly off the beaten track. Each Bali Airbnb we’ve chosen has been granted Guest Favourite status, meaning they’ve scored highly across a range of stringent satisfaction measures, so you can book assured there’ll be no disappointments upon check-in.
While we have not stayed in every Airbnb featured, unless otherwise stated, these listings are vetted based on Guest Favourite status, amenities, location, previous guest reviews and decor.
