Hotels in Bali

Staying in Bali

Ngurah Rai International Airport sits at the narrow neck of the island in the south, between Kuta and Jimbaran. Kuta, Legian and Seminyak run north along the west coast from there, Nusa Dua and the Bukit peninsula lie to the south, and Sanur faces east across the water. Ubud is inland and uphill, surrounded by terraced fields and river gorges. Denpasar, the provincial capital, sits between the airport and the rest of the island. Arrivals leave the terminal and go by road, since there is no rail on Bali. The private transfer route listed on this page goes from the airport to Ubud, which is the drive people who stay inland need. Hotels on the south coast are closer, and a car still makes the arrival simpler with surfboards or children in tow. Enter the pickup time and passengers to see the vehicles on offer. Where to stay follows what you want to do. Surfers and nightlife look to Kuta, Canggu and Seminyak. Families and resort stays lean to Nusa Dua and Sanur. Ubud suits walkers, temple visits and a cooler evening. Mixing a few nights inland with a few on the coast is common, and AI Concierge lets you book each hotel separately with its own dates.
