With such variety on offer at this Indonesian island, working out where to stay can be tricky. Many choose to stay at a hotel or resort, but with so many incredible and unique vacation rentals in Bali, why not dream bigger?

That’s why we’ve curated this fantastic selection of the best Airbnbs in Bali. To ensure that we’re only sharing the absolute best Bali has to offer, we’ve only listed properties that belong to Airbnb superhosts, and many are also Airbnb Plus listings. In case you’re not familiar, superhosts are owners who constantly receive stellar reviews for their properties and service; Airbnb Plus is an elite rating for properties that have had their quality verified through an in-person inspection. With that clarified, let’s get to it.

Bamboo Eco-House With Pool and River View

It’s hard to believe that this gorgeous bamboo house in Bali is real, let alone that it’s one of the treehouses in Bali available for rent. But this majestic three-story building, surrounded by the forest of rural Abiansemal and overlooking the Ayung River, is indeed on Airbnb as an option for your vacation.

With its magnificent bamboo structure, this eco-house is ideal for a honeymoon or double couples’ getaway. It can sleep up to four guests, with a double bed in both of its bedrooms. The two bedrooms also have their own en suite bathrooms, ensuring even more privacy. Then there’s the large living room, with ample seating space and fantastic views of the forest canopy.

Though this Airbnb may seem remote, loads of local restaurants are a short walk away – which is helpful, as the villa itself only has a simple kitchen with a fridge and stovetop. Other amenities include a small private swimming pool, a communal kitchen and restaurant, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning. The property even provides natural insect repellent in case of any mosquitos or other bugs.
