Bali Ultra-Luxury — The Finest Five-Star Stays

At the very top, Bali is defined by multi-bedroom villa estates with infinity pools, private chefs and staff that rival a small hotel. The Bukit Peninsula's clifftops and the river gorges around Ubud hold the most coveted addresses, where you might arrive by private transfer and never share a pool, a beach or a dining room. Expect personal butlers, bespoke excursions by helicopter or yacht, and complete discretion.
