Conventional hotels can be found across Bali, especially clustered around popular areas like Kuta, Seminyak, Ubud, and Sanur.

With so many exceptional options, travelers are sure to find a resort in Bali matching their dream vacation.

In addition to hotels and resorts, visitors can also stay in private villas across Bali for a more secluded and intimate experience.

Guesthouses known as losmens offer a local homestay experience across Bali as an affordable accommodation option. These family-run properties range from simple rooms in village homes to small boutique lodgings with several rooms and a pool. Located in areas like Ubud, Canggu, and Candidasa, nightly rates are around $50 or less for a basic room with air conditioning, WiFi, and breakfast.
