The 5 Best hotels for Wildlife in Bali

If you are looking for a truly tranquil stay in Bali then escaping the crowded beaches and heading inland is a wise choice. Ubud in the heart of the island has a great selection of hotels amidst the jungle while Bali Barat National Park may not be as easy to access but its seclusion is what makes it worth the journey. Our hotel gurus have handpicked a selection of the best hotels for wildlife in Bali with options ranging from romantic jungle lodges to luxurious spa hotels. So why not browse through our collection to plan your next trip?

For Bali Barat National Park

• The Menjangan is set deep within the Bali Barat National Park. Offering secluded accommodation perfect for both families or couples. With access to a gorgeous stretch of beach, an open-air spa, and activities to please everyone, this is a luxurious retreat to nature.

For Ubud

• Uma Ubud is an utterly spoiling country retreat just five minutes from central Ubud. Chic and sophisticated rooms come with four poster beds, deep soaking tubs and private verandahs. A luxurious and grown up place to rejuvenate with easy access to Ubud's rainforest.
• Viceroy Bali is a five star luxury hotel set in the tropical hills of Ubud. Private villas are traditional in design, albeit with some serious luxury - think personal plunge pools, spectacular views, coffee machines and fine thread sheets. An indulgent spa and exemplary restaurant make this a very special stay.

• Bisma Eight is a gloriously tranquil jungle property. The design mixes Balinese style with an industrial feel. A top-notch restaurant run by an Aussie chef is a real delight. Pick this property for access to the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary or simply just as a stylish jungle spot.
• Bambu Indah is a truly remarkable eco - resort nestled amongst lush hills, overlooking the Ayung River. The beautifully restored old tribal houses, ranging from rustic to chic, mix traditional Javanese furnishings with eclectic pieces from around the world. An enchanting paradise, that's almost impossible to leave!
