Bali Boutique Hotels

A boutique hotel is typically defined as a small exclusive hotel with less than 50 bedrooms. These are often independently owned, and always luxurious, high end properties.

The beaches of Bali are undoubtedly its biggest draw for tourists. Some of the best and well known beach resorts in the world are in Bali and it has traded on this reputation as a paradise isle for over 70 years. The beaches are only a small part of the appeal of Bali however and to get a real sense of Bali it is always a good idea to explore some of the inland attractions.

The concept of boutique hotels fits in perfectly with the ethos of Bali. While the island and the main resorts in particular have all manner of accommodation options from the top chain luxury hotels to the humblest backpackers hostel, no hotel matches the attention to detail, sense of individuality, style, and seamless transition from the hotel to the immediate outside environment.

Bali Boutique hotels are found throughout the island, from the beach resorts and towns to the more exclusive and secluded parts of the island. The capital and only city in Bali is Denpasar, the gateway for most visitors to the island who land at Ngurah Rai International Airport. Denpasar is on the south of Bali, close to all the major beach life and resorts, and has superseded the northern port and former colonial capital, Singaraja, since the arrival of air traffic.

Ubud and the immediate environment form a natural home for some of the best boutique hotels. Typically the emphasis will be on luxurious relaxation often in extended spa facilities, and harmonious interaction with the environment which may include a variety of outdoor activities such as mountain walks. Opportunities will abound to make the most of the local cultural and artistic delights on offer in and around Ubud.

The island is undoubtedly blessed with many natural and cultural attractions but it is the beach resorts which define the island most to visitors and they remain the islands most popular holiday locations. The long white sands, clear blue lagoon waters, coral reefs and a host of water sports such as diving and surfing combine with bustling markets, restaurants, bars, entertainment and nightlife to create the ultimate beach holiday.

Other notable resorts include Nusa Dua, which has become the main centre on the island for large luxury hotel chains and international conference facilities. Near to Nus Dua is the Tanjung Benoa peninsula and the village of Benoa itself which is home to some excellent boutique hotels.

Regardless of the location, all boutique hotels in Bali share is a distinctive character, an attention to detail in style and amenity, and levels of personal service unparalleled anywhere on the island. Find a natural and exclusive part of Bali in its excellent small hotels.
