1. Nanuku House (Luxury) - Canggu
Nanuku House, a luxurious four-bedroom villa, is a high-end option located in Canggu. This house was built by the talented Lauren and Jack, and you’ve probably seen this house on Instagram or YouTube before. We got invited here by our very NICE friends Laura and Nicolas, and we had the best time! The stunning pool area is perfect for relaxation, and the massive common area offers a beautiful space for gatherings. The villa also features a rooftop lounge area, plunge pool, and sauna, all with views of the rice paddies. We absolutely loved it, and we would definitely be back next time we are in Bali. This was our favorite place we stayed in Bali! Lastly, with a fully staffed team, your stay at Nanuku House will be hassle-free.

2. Ayana Resort (Luxury) - Bali
Number 2 on our list is the beautiful luxury hotel, Ayana Resort. I’m going to make a dedicated blog post from this place, just because it’s so massive and it can be very confusing to know which of the Ayana hotels you should stay at. There are 4 different Ayana Properties to choose from, they have their private villas, then a more modern option is the Segara by Ayana, then their budget option is Rimba by Ayana, and lastly their original property the Ayana Resort. I will give you a tour of all these places and their entire 220-acre property in an upcoming blog post and YouTube episode.
