Bali is famous worldwide as a stunning tropical destination where you can easily jump between sand beaches, traditional temples, and lush rainforests. 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.
