11. Butler included! – EAZE Villas Uluwatu
Uluwatu is one to seduce travellers with the diversity of its landscapes – you can expect anything from miles of white-sandy beaches to lush rocky formations and dramatic clifftops.

For this reason and more, it is not surprising that some of Bali’s most stylish villas are located in the area. Enticed by the tranquillity of the surroundings, that’s exactly where you’ll find one of the region’s best-kept secrets – EAZE Villas.

Comprising just six private pool villas, the property strikes a harmonious balance between contemporary design, traditional elements and nature itself. All private pool villas are spaciously proportioned and designed to offer easy access to disabled guests.

Check rate on Agoda Check rate on Booking.com 12. Experience luxury atop a cliff – Alila Villas Uluwatu
If there’s one thing we absolutely love doing while on vacation, it is spending time at the pool.
While we’ve always enjoyed big, bustling hotel pools, the infinity pool at Alila Villas Uluwatu left us speechless, it gave us a chance to float over the Indian Ocean. The pool itself hangs on top of a cliff and I can guarantee you that swimming here isn’t a casual affair – you’ll notice it in the highly addictive Instagram pictures.


Straddling the edge of a cliff was even more spectacular at sunset as the tides changed – I recommend you to first enjoy a few drinks at the Sunset Cabana Bar before you drop by the pool for a prolonged swim if you want to catch every colour change the sky has to offer.

What’s more, every villa category here also comes with a private pool too. I have to say that this is one of the most romantic stays we’ve experienced so far. The staff was exceptional too; there’s nothing they can’t solve and you can be sure that you’ll never go hungry throughout the day as breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner options are remarkable!

14. Check into a luxurious sanctuary nestled on a clifftop – Renaissance Uluwatu
While many people think of Uluwatu as the place to go to find wooden shacks and surf camps, it’s also a place of great luxury.
Renaissance Bali Uluwatu Resort & Spa is the pioneer of luxurious experiences down south, sitting atop sprawling cliffs and above crashing waves, this incredible display of architecture is the ideal place to base yourself for exploring all the unique things to do around there. One thing is for sure – you can expect to be fully immersed in peace and quiet during your stay here.

The infinity pool is by far the most spectacular aspect of their resort, blame it on the views it has to offer. Truth be told, you could easily get lost in time just soaking your body and indulging in some boozy cocktails or poolside snacks. If that’s not relaxing enough for you, take a trip to their spa for some truly soothing treatments.

Coming to your resting abode, be ready for even better views. Get to choose between lush green gardens or splurge a little to feast on endless views of the blue horizon with a stay at their Deluxe Ocean Room! Besides lazing away the day, you can also sign up for a pottery or cooking class at Clay Craft – their art and craft inspired restaurant!

Now, if you manage to leave your cocoon, just head on down to Roosterfish Beach Club, their very own place which is located a short shuttle ride away! If luck is on your side, you could be in for a party of a lifetime, with live DJs and more.

Website 4. Go and explore Bali’s best hidden beaches
While the popular beaches like Canggu, Kuta and Seminyak attract a large number of visitors, there’s a hidden treasure trove of secluded and pristine beaches waiting to be discovered. Venture off the beaten path and you’ll be rewarded with the breathtaking beauty of Bali’s hidden beaches.

These secluded gems offer a tranquil escape from the crowds, with their powdery sands and turquoise waters.

Set off to the untouched shores of Ungasan and lay down your towel at Green Bowl Beach. If you have time, take a 4-hour drive (from South Bali) to West Bali and board a boat to Gili Putih, an isolated island that’s ever changing.

Green Bowl Beach
Parking fee: Rp. 10,000 (Approximately USD $0.70)
Location: Ungasan, South Kuta, Badung Regency, Bali, Indonesia (Coordinates here)
Getting there: Head towards the south of Bali, and to the east of Pandawa Beach. From the carpark head towards the staircase and walk down to the beach.
TripCanvas Tip: The tide can be very high in the morning (it can reach all the way to the bottom of the stairs), hence it’s recommended to visit the beach around noon until 3pm when the tide is low.
Gili Putih Sumberkima.
Address: Sumberkima, Buleleng Regency, Bali 81155, Indonesia (Coordinates here)

Coordinates of Bangsal Harbour here.
5. Spend the day at a jungle club
Bali’s beach clubs, while popular among tourists and locals alike, can often be crowded and bustling with activity, making them less than ideal for honeymooners seeking a peaceful and intimate setting.

Instead, couples might prefer to seek out more secluded and serene locations. Nestled amidst lush greenery and the serene beauty of Bali’s tropical rainforest, jungle clubs such as Cretya Ubud offer a secluded and romantic ambiance that is perfect for couples seeking privacy and tranquillity.

Surrounded by the sounds of nature and the enchanting beauty of Ubud’s jungle landscape, honeymooners can enjoy a more intimate and peaceful setting, away from the crowds and distractions of the beach club.

Website 6. Take a romantic escape to the Nusa islands
Comprising three main islands — Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, and Nusa Ceningan — this stunning cluster of landforms exudes a magical charm that is hard to resist.

Renowned for their breathtaking landscapes, the Nusa Islands boast dramatic cliffs, lush jungles, and pristine beaches that beckon adventurers and nature enthusiasts alike. While day trips to the Nusa Islands are possible, we suggest spending at least one to two nights in one of their romantic ocean view villas.
a. Nusa Penida
A short 30-minute boat ride from Bali, Nusa Penida is the largest of the three Nusa islands. The island is relatively undeveloped and you will find only a limited number of hotels here, meaning privacy is often a given. What sets it apart from its sister islands is the plethora of unspoiled natural attractions and untouched landscapes.


b. Nusa Lembongan
Just like the other Nusa Islands, Nusa Lembongan is accessible via a 30-minute boat ride from Bali. Here, you can enjoy the perfect combination of the old Indonesia and the comforts of modern hotels, resorts and villas.


Nusa Lembongan offers beautiful white-sand beaches and gin-clear lagoons waiting to be explored. There’s also plenty of restaurants, cool cafes, and beach clubs spread around the island.
c. Nusa Ceningan
Nusa Ceningan is the smallest of the three Nusa Islands. It sits right in between the bigger islands of Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan. Seaweed farming is a major activity on the island of Nusa Ceningan, and many of its locals depend on this business for survival.


It’s also an island for the daredevils, with multiple cliff jumping points.
