If you’re looking for the most expensive hotels in Bali, then we’ve got good news for you – we’ve got the 30 most luxurious hotels on the island gathered together in one place for you.
These are the kinds of resorts where you can guarantee a private pool, and for a bit more cash, you might even be able to secure an infinity pool all to yourself.
Of course, we should stress that you can still come to the island and sit on a white sand beach under tall palm trees without spending a fortune on accommodation, but if you want to splash out and live a little, Bali’s the ideal place to do it.
Our 30 Most Expensive Hotels In Bali
Note: To come up with the price per room, we based our rates on those provided in online booking engines. These prices will be subject to variability depending on when you travel and how busy the hotel is – so please use our pricing as a guideline rather than as an established fact.
We would also note that our conversion to USD and AUD is based on current exchange rates, and thus, this may also vary depending on when you travel.
Finally, it’s important that we point out that the rooms listed here are the cheapest rooms in each establishment. You can spend much more than these numbers if you decide to go for a private pool villa with a private plunge pool and infinity pool or for their most stylish suites rather than a standard hotel room.

The room rate does include breakfast, airport transfers and a complimentary round of golf at Bali National Golf Club.

FAQs
What Is The Most Luxurious Area In Bali?
This is probably a tie between the beach towns of Canggu and Seminyak and Ubud in Central Bali.
However, there are plenty of the best luxury hotels and luxury resort properties all over the island.
So, whether you’re planning a romantic getaway or a family break, you should be able to find something that delivers modern amenities, amazing dining options, an insight into Balinese culture and much more, as long as you’re willing to pay for it.
Where Do Billionaires Stay In Bali?
Billionaires will generally opt for private villas when they stay in Bali and while there is no “private beach” here in Bali, you can find villas with direct beach access onto fairly secluded beaches.
They are also likely to seek out world-class amenities such as a luxury spa, lagoon pools, an infinity pool, a fitness centre, tropical gardens, panoramic views, farm-to-table cuisine, impeccable service, marble bathrooms, a steam room, etc.
However, one thing you can be sure of is that billionaires won’t advertise their location as it could make them vulnerable to criminal activity.
Where Do Celebrities Stay In Bali?
Celebrities stay in many different parts of Bali. Many of the most expensive hotels in Bali are a bit off the beaten path, and if you want a secluded villa with a private pool or two, you’re as likely to find that in the rice paddies as you are on a cliff top by the Indian Ocean.
Bali has had many celebrity visitors over the last few decades, including Brad Pitt, Richard Gere, Mick Jagger, Madonna, Demi Moore and George Clooney and they tend to come for their ability to fade into the island rather than for attention from adoring fans.
Is There A Rich Part Of Bali?
Not specifically, no, but there are wealthy parts of Bali. You will find that rich Balinese tend to congregate around the beach towns of Canggu and Seminyak, as well as around the spiritual heart of the island – Ubud.
Wealthy foreigners will also stay in these areas as well as in Nusa Dua, which is home to many of the island’s luxury hotel brands – not always the most expensive hotels in Bali but certainly expensive hotels by any standard measure for Indonesia.
What Is The Most Expensive Hotel In Bali?
This is up for debate as many hotels in Bali have extremely premium suites and facilities, which can raise the prices of staying there substantially, and Bali has the most $1,000 (USD) or above per night hotel rooms in the world.
So, we’ve opted to go with the Bvlgari Resort Bali as the most expensive hotel in Bali, which has the most expensive minimum rate of any hotel in Bali (there are private villas that cost more, but a villa is not a luxury hotel; it’s something entirely different).
What Is The Most Expensive Hotel In The World?
While Bali has some fairly expensive hotels, it can’t compete with the price tags on the best luxury hotels in Dubai.
The Royal Mansion at Atlantis The Royal in Dubai will set you back a measly $100,000 USD (that’s $150,000 AUD or 1.63 billion IDR) for a night’s stay!
Where Did Taylor Swift Stay In Bali?
As we mentioned earlier, while the Apurva Kempinski Bali may be one fo the more affordable options on our list above, if you’re in the mood for a truly luxurious stay, then the sky’s the limit on how much you can spend.
And that’s probably why Taylor Swift opted to spend her time in Bali in the Apurva Kempinski. With nearly 500 rooms to choose from, you can be sure that the megastar was in the best of them.
Where Did Justin Bieber Stay In Bali?
Justin Bieber visited Bali back in 2011 with his then-girlfriend (and now ex) Selena Gomez. The couple opted to stay in the Bulgari Resort Bali and remarked that it had the most beautiful view of any hotel that they’d stayed in.
Where Did Chris Hemsworth Stay In Bali?
Chris Hemsworth is a big fan of Indonesia. In fact, he speaks fluent Bahasa Indonesia after studying it in school!
When the actor visited Bali, he opted to stay in the Komune Resort, and he appears to have enjoyed his stay as he posted about it on Facebook.
Where Did Julia Roberts Stay In Bali?
Julia Roberts opted for a private villa in the rice paddies with lush gardens and access to the nearby town of Ubud.
The villa is available for rent to the general public, and you can find it on Airbnb occasionally – it’s the Ubud Rice Field House.
It’s an open-air cabin-style affair, with the majority of the fittings carved out of teak.
Where Did Paris Hilton Stay In Bali?
Paris Hilton, who probably knows a thing or two about hotels, given that she’s the heiress to the Hilton hotel fortune, opted to stay at the W Bali in Seminyak Beach.
This resort narrowly missed our 30 most expensive hotels in Bali list but you can certainly find some very expensive rooms at this hotel.
It’s synonymous with high-end service and has some very expensive and glamorous restaurants onsite.
Which Hotel Did The Kardashians Stay At In Bali?
The Kardashians and their crew opted to move into the Soori Bali resort with its 48 villas, there would certainly have been enough room to accommodate everyone.
Kim’s villa didn’t just have its own private pool, it had five private pools! Which puts most luxury hotels to shame.
Is It Expensive To Stay In Bali?
Private villas and luxurious hotels can certainly see you spending a small fortune to stay in Bali but you don’t need a luxury resort to have a good time on this paradise island by the Indian Ocean.
Luxury villas are also not mandatory and while we’d all love to stay in the Bulgari Resort Bali if our budgets accommodated that, you can find plenty of good mid-range and budget digs in most areas of the island.
In fact, if you’re a solo traveller and you want to get off the beaten path a little, you could probably stay for as little as \$10 USD (\$15 AUD) a night!
And if you have a budget of around \$50 USD a night, you can find something in almost any part of the island – though we would note that during the peak season, you may need to book a long time in advance as most hotels in Bali can sell out at this time of year.
But if you want your own private pool or private infinity pool, then you should be prepared to stay in one of the best luxury hotels and be prepared to pay for the privilege.
Final Thoughts On The Most Expensive Hotels In Bali
As you can see from our list of the most expensive hotels in Bali, you can easily spend some serious cash on a resort with premium amenities on the island.
From a private pool with an Indian Ocean view to butler service in some of the most luxurious suites known to man – there’s something for everyone looking to splurge a little in Bali.
So, if you’re in the mood for a tranquil escape with breathtaking views and amazing spa treatments, why not book a luxury resort in Bali today?
