Curated Stays in West Bali — A Handpicked Selection
I’m here to share extraordinary stays—handpicked hideaways that stand out for their bespoke service, meticulous attention to detail, and exceptional design. Each selection is thoughtfully curated to highlight spaces where aesthetics, comfort, and personality come together naturally.
This time, we’re heading to West Bali — a wilder, less-developed side of the island where jungle-covered hills, remote beaches, and sleepy surf towns meet a slower, more elemental way of life.
Some of the links in this list are affiliate links—if you book through them, it won’t cost you anything extra, but it helps support this project (kind of like buying it a coffee, but way more exciting).
