After taking multiple trips to Bali, I’m still surprised at how this slice of paradise has some of the coolest vacation rentals to pick from. I’ve stayed in remote villas and cozy homes overlooking the rice paddies, each offering their own exotic perks, but in Bali you are truly spoiled with endless options depending on your taste and budget.
Bali offers the ultimate exotic getaway, home to majestic temples, verdant rice fields, and vibrant Balinese culture. Dotted around the island, you’ll find a wide range of unique accommodation choices (like beautiful treehouses!). Do you prefer easy access to the beautiful landscapes of Ubud? Are you looking for surfer vibes in Canggu? Or want to explore Seminyak’s upscale beach bars and restaurants?
