Whether you’re looking for a honeymoon, family trip, group holiday or wellness retreat, a private villa allows you to settle into your own space, while still being close to Bali’s striking scenery. From Ubud's green jungles to the beachside vibe of Seminyak, Canggu and Nusa Dua, the island boasts villas for just about every budget and travel style. The best ones tend to have big bedrooms, private pools, tropical gardens, open-air living spaces, full kitchens and modern comforts that actually matter.
