And if you choose to drive a car for its convenience, don’t forget the hassle of finding parking and getting stuck in traffic!

3. Home away from home: Milo’s Home (from US$81 per night)

This villa may be called Milo’s Home, but at the end of your stay, you’ll wish it’s yours too.

With a small group of 8 bungalows modelled after ancient barns, Milo’s Home has a familial and cosy atmosphere that will quickly have you warming up to its group of staff. This comfortable atmosphere permeates throughout the complex, and is guaranteed to make you feel right at home.

Other than the pretty rooms built from bamboo, Milo’s Home also has beanbags and chairs for you to chill on the breezy terrace. And who can forget the infinity pool, which offers the best vantage point for watching the sunset?

Views from the bungalows look like beautiful paintings, with one of the bungalows even overlooking the entire ocean.

If you ever get tired of just standing at your balcony and staring out to sea – we sure won’t – you can always head down to the Uluwatu Temple or Balangan beach for a surf too! (It’s just a 5-8 min walk! So you don’t have to lug your surfboard around)

One thing’s for sure – you definitely won’t be missing home during your stay at this little haven!

4. All about the Surfing – Balangan Beach Bungalows, Balangan Beach

A little more secluded and more on the quiet side, these independently-owned Balangan beach bungalows are great for those who are looking to disconnect from the city noise and de-stress.

Depending on which bungalow you stay at, it’s a 3-5 minute walk to Balangan Beach, a beautiful secluded area that is only accessible by car or motorbikes.

With the long sandy beach, the right side is perfect for swimming and the left is perfect for surfing. There are also cheap warungs set up on the beach for a perfect view of the sunset!

Go back to basics as these bungalows do not have hot water nor air conditioning. But, there is a fan, wireless internet, a much-talked about continental breakfast (included in the price) and a 12-meter swimming pool with sunbeds.

You’ll even have your own front porch where you can relax and drink the night away. And if you choose to stay here, there is probably a 90% chance that you’ll rent a car – good news, there is free parking!

5. Surf at Three Different Beaches! – Rock’n Reef Bali, Impossible Beach

It may not be the most accessible accommodation in Bali, but once you get past the 80 or so (slippery) steps, you will literally be 10 steps from the ocean.

Rock’n Reef boasts 6 private bungalows, all with hot showers, mini-fridges, and air conditioning. Each bungalow has a cute little theme, whether it is with some quirky rock formations or calm, wooden interior.

The views from the bungalows have also been described as serene, breathtaking, and superb; and the staff (Bruno and the girls) as accommodating and friendly.

Perfect for couples and friends who love to surf, ya’ll probably wouldn’t want to leave Rock’n Reef. Ever. You’ll have three amazing beaches within a paddle’s reach- Impossible, Padang Padang, and Bingin.

From top to bottom: Padang Padang, Bingin, Impossible Beach

Wind down after a day of riding the waves by playing pool with the other surfers, or opt for river rafting on your rest day.

Rock’n Reef is located in the south-west of Bali, far away from the regular hustle and bustle of Bali – if that’s just the thing you’re looking for.

Ps: We know, the price ($105) is a little over $100. But this special mention was a must because of its convenient access to 3 different beaches to surf at!

6. Watch the Rip Curl Surf Competition – Le Sabot Bali, Padang Padang Beach

Started by an Indo-Belgian guy whose dream was to surf, live on the beach, and be surrounded by the Balinese culture, Eric built 2 beach huts in Padang Padang Beach in 2004.

Eric believes in living green and helping the local economy, thus not only are his huts eco-friendly but he is also in joint ventures with the locals.

Now with a total of 4 huts that are all literally a minute walk away from the beach, you have the best of 3 worlds – you can paddle to Padang Padang Beach, Impossible Beach, or take a 5-minute ride and you’ll be at Uluwatu Beach.

These cliffside huts* are equipped with ceiling fans, mosquito nets, a safety box, and a large deck for you to watch the annual Rip Curl surf competition. Oh also, the beach that Eat, Pray, Love was filmed on is just a couple of minutes walk away!

Watch this flyover at Le Sabot!

*You’ll have to walk down some steps to get to the beach.

Special mention: Go green: La Joya Biu-Biu (from US$121 per night)

This tiny bungalow in South Kuta is a great choice for the environmentally-friendly traveller – it’s located within the La Joya Biu-Biu resort complex, an eco-friendly establishment.

The loft-style housing, completely built from native materials such as limestones from the area, is a cute alternative from the usual type of architecture.

And the infinity pool offers a sweeping view of the secluded Balangan beach. This beach is also blessed by several surf breaks close at hand that is demanded by all surfers in particular for experience up to professional surfers.
