More than just a tropical beach destination, Bali has quickly transformed into a vibrant and trendy cosmopolitan spot with a flourishing culinary scene that is now better than ever, complemented by endless festivals and events hosted on its pristine sandy shores. Along with its hidden treasures like secret waterfalls, off-the-beaten-track activities, picture-perfect villas and rich culture, it has put itself on the map as one of the best islands in the world.
It is no wonder then, that its hotel scene is booming. From COMO Echo Beach to Capella Ubud, this year sees many resort openings on the “Island of Gods” — positioning itself as a mecca for beach lovers who make frequent weekend trips. However, nothing beats a seaside vacation lounging by the pool with a bunch of friends — and we think the island is just the perfect destination. And what better place to cater to large groups than one of the many picturesque villas dotting Bali’s coasts?
