7 Airbnbs in Bali for Immersing in Nature
A guide to accommodations in Bali where modern design meets traditional architecture.
1Bali's Architectural Richness
Bali stands out with its architecture that blends Hindu principles with modern design innovation. The island is not just about infinity pools and rice paddy views but also about craftsmanship and traditions passed down through generations. Ubud is for jungle and design; Canggu and Seseh for surfing; the north for fewer crowds. Denpasar International Airport is within two hours of most of the island.
2Architectural Marvel Villa
This villa, built 25 years ago by renowned Balinese architect Popo Danes, is located on one of Sayan's most sought-after streets. It was renovated by Hungarian documentary filmmakers in collaboration with Belgian-Moroccan interior designer Zohra Boukhari. Two oversized master bedrooms face the Sayan Ridge across an infinity pool. Prices start at $1,457 per night.
3A Hideaway in the Jungle
Tucked behind a 200-year-old banyan tree in Penestanan, this one-bedroom villa is made from reclaimed teak and filled with hand-picked antiques. Guests can enjoy a terrazzo tub filled with fresh petals and floating breakfasts in the spring-fed pool. Owners Budi and Anna run the organic café Yellow Flower, which supplies breakfast. Prices start at $189 per night.
4The Serenity of North Bali
North Bali attracts fewer visitors than the southern region, and this villa outside Singaraja channels the peace that comes with that distance. Two bedrooms and an open living area surround an infinity pool overlooking the coast. The last stretch of road is rough, so guests are advised to arrange a driver in advance. Prices start at $156 per night.
5Bamboo House Over the Ayung River
This two-bedroom house, entirely made of bamboo, overlooks the Ayung River. Designed by IBUKU, it is part of Green Village. The private pool offers sweeping views of the nearby river. Located 35 minutes from Ubud and 30 minutes from Canggu, it is ideal for guests seeking a complete disconnect. Prices start at $286 per night.
6Treehouse with a Sauna
This two-level treehouse in the highlands above Munduk is chilly enough at night to warrant packing a sweater. A cloud-level king bed faces the view through sliding doors. Downstairs, a private sauna and a round bathtub overlook the misty mountains. Adults-only, prices start at $286 per night.
7House by a Renowned Architect
Designed by Alexis Dornier, one of Bali's most talked-about architects, this house features a wave-shaped roof made from local kerobokan stone. Four king bedrooms sit above an open-plan ground floor with a stone-clad infinity pool. A full-time concierge team handles requests from airport pickups to private chefs. Prices start at $638 per night.
8The Significance of Staying in Bali
Bali is a global vacation destination known for its natural beauty and architectural richness. Staying here means not just relaxing but also experiencing local culture and nature. Accommodation options for every budget and taste make Bali attractive to everyone.
