The greatest sin is thinking Bali accommodations are just for sleeping in.
Bali is arguably Singapore’s all-time favourite getaway destination. It’s close enough for a quick weekend escape and there’s plenty to do. It’s truly the ideal place to forget about that 5,000-word essay you’ve got due, or the stress you’re feeling at your 9-to-5!

The best part about Bali? Regular folks like you and I can actually afford to live out that bougie lifestyle we fantasise about. Goodbye, rundown hostels and convenience store meals, and hello, beautiful villas with private pools and hostels that look more like snazzy boutique hotels.

For Groups
Grad trips, company retreats, special occasions, you name it — Bali truly is perfect for any occasion. Gone are the days of ulu chalet staycations at Pasir Ris, it’s time to live it up in the villa of your dreams!

Bali is one of my favourite places to visit, and this guide is excellent! More reasons to visit once again. On the other spectrum, I would totally recommend Ayana Resort and its sister property Rimba (more budget friendly)!
Glad to hear you find our guide useful! Will definitely keep those recommendations in mind 🙂
