Without standing in the middle of all the hustle and bustle of Kuta Beach, you can enjoy the liveliness from a distance in the rooftop pool, sipping your cocktail and waiting for the sun to disappear behind the horizon, colouring the world in a soft orange glaze. Photo Via Febry_a93 Who says that a hotel directly facing the beach has to be expensive?

Photo Via Shahfiqshahrul For one, it’s close to the Beach Walk shopping centre, which makes it infinitely easier to get to one of the many restaurants. Heard of Poppies?

Countryside retreat: Le Jardin de Bali (from US$58 per night) The simple beauty of ricefields in Bali is a sight that many tourists wish to enjoy, and some even prefer to stay away from the bustling areas, such as Kuta, in order to fully experience the exquisite scenery that Bali has to offer. Walking through dense forests of ricefields is an awe-inspiring activity in itself, but what if you could actually wake up in the middle of it all, and even take a swim amongst all the greenery? Le Jardin de Bali, a villa nestled in picturesque Blahbatuh, Gianyar, offers you an almost panoramic view of the ricefields right from the comfort of your room and the infinity pool. The villa is made up of wooden buildings with teak wood furniture, bringing across the cosy feel of a country cabin - perfect for those who prefer homey lodgings. The infinity pool is so gorgeous - both in the day and at night - that we won’t blame you even if you choose to stay inside all day long. Other hidden gems in Le Jardin include the tiny pavilion beside the pool, where shelter from the sun and comfortable seats are available for you to engage in some heart-to-heart talk or chat over some drinks. There’s also a small lounge where you can relax with a glass of juice and watch some television, or simply lay back for an afternoon nap. One thing though - do make sure to check if it’s the harvesting season before you make your bookings, to ensure that you get the best view possible. 12. For the artistic soul: Ubud ArtVilla (from US$71 per night) If you’re a designer or simply someone who’s sensitive to interior design and environment, you’re bound to love Ubud ArtVilla. True to its name, this villa is beautifully decorated, and when the lights are up at night, it looks like completely out of a painting. The infinity pool, hanging over the edge of the compound, offers a majestic view out into the distance, with Mount Agung looming in the background. When the moon is reflected on the face of the water, it almost looks as if it could transport you to another world. At Ubud ArtVilla, you’ll be able to get in touch with the heart of Balinese culture. From accommodations made of natural materials, traditional artwork and food served on handmade wood fired ceramics, you’ll be exposed to nothing but the best of Bali. 13.

Water sports advocates will find the hidden beach ideal for their adventurous endeavors, even while privacy is waiting right at their fingertips.
