Stay & Play: Most Unique Hotels in Bali
Flipping through even the most up-to-date Bali travel guides may not point you toward exactly what you’re looking for. When planning an upcoming jaunt to this gorgeous destination, it’s natural to seek out popular activities, restaurants, and hotels (mostly because of their high volume of confirmative reviews) while also poking around for a few off-the-beaten-path options. Traveling is all about exploration: both of the new locale *and* within yourself. One of the best ways to do that? Find a unique-to-the-region accommodation! Enter: our collection of unique hotels in Bali.
Team YRH put together our short list (though, we could truly go on and on) of some of our favorite unique hotels in Bali! Each accommodation brings something breathtaking to the table, making for a one-of-a-kind guest experience in each! Scroll through the list to explore your options in varying hotspots around the island. Have a list of unique hotels in Bali you’d like to share?

Vibes: Luxurious beach getaway in Southern Bali.
Amenity Highlights: While the idea is a classic one (swanky beachfront hotel, anyone?), the execution here is other-worldly. Modern-meets-historic architecture, sprawling villas sporting private villas, an incredible amount of seclusion and intimacy. This is an idyllic destination for couples looking to celebrate and friend groups looking to unwind.
