Most Romantic Hotels in Kuta, Bali

Villa de daun is a boutique four-and-a-half-pearl, all-villa property located in downtown Legian, next to Bali's wild nightclub scene. The hotel has spacious lawns with tall trees adding some tropical romance, and the ambience is tranquil and laid-back -- a glaring contrast to the buzz of activity outside. Facilities include a lovely spa and a restaurant serving international and Indonesian cuisines, but are otherwise limited. Villas are stunning, and include private plunge pools plus extras like Bose speakers, espresso machines, and butler services. Afternoon tea and free minibars are also included in rates. As an alternative, guests may want to check out Sun Island Villas, which has similar amenities and slightly cheaper rates, though a slightly less refined style.

Amnya Resort Kuta is an upscale hotel ideally located in the heart of downtown Kuta, a five-minute walk from Kuta Beach, Waterbom Bali, and Discovery shopping mall. The hotel features 116 modern suites with stylish contemporary interiors; the rooms are bright and airy and have spacious balconies, an open plan design, and quality modern amenities. On-site facilities include a long outdoor swimming pool, an all-day restaurant serving authentic Indonesian cuisine, a gorgeous spa, a fitness center, a lobby lounge, and a multifunction event space. Free extras like afternoon tea, shuttle services, Wi-Fi, and weekly cultural activities add value to the stay. As an alternative beachfront hotel option, Patra Jasa Bali Resort & Villas offers direct beach access and resort like facilities for slightly lower rates. 

Febri's Hotel & Spa is a mid-range, 69-room family-friendly hotel located in the heart of Kuta. The hotel offers a rage of room types, including Family Rooms that can sleep up to five people comfortably. There are two outdoor pools, a full-service family spa, and a free hot and cold breakfast buffet. Wi-Fi is slow (even if you pay extra for the high-speed connection), and the property is not on the beach, but other than that, it's a safe, clean place to stay and is only 10 minutes from the airport.

The family-friendly, 203-room Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort is a luxury property with beautiful ocean views right on Kuta Beach. Modern, bright rooms have splendid tile bathrooms with free Wi-Fi, rainfall showerheads and soaking tubs as well as balconies with seating. Some rooms have ocean views and outdoor hot tubs while others suffer street noise. The outdoor infinity pool with ocean views is a plus for couples and families, as are the on-site restaurants and bars, and full-service spa. Guests looking for a more intimate hotel may want to try The Kana Kuta for similar features, though it's farther from the beach.

This upper-middle-range, 381-room hotel is located right on Kuta Beach next to the Discovery Shopping Mall.  Rooms and Villas vary, but all are clean and comfortable and some have private pools. Garden View Rooms can get noisy as there's a nightclub nearby. Features include a lagoon-style pool with a swim-up bar, a full-service spa/salon, fitness facilities, and three on-site restaurants. There's also a huge kids' club here, and the playground and dedicated kids' pool are fabulous. Adults can play too, thanks to tennis and squash courts, and a full-size chessboard.

The 79-room Kuta Puri Bungalows is an upper-middle-range, traditionally designed hotel in a central but peaceful area with many sights, like Kuta Beach and Beachwalk shopping center, within fast walking distance. Classic Balinese-style rooms offer mini-fridges, coffeemakers, flat-screen TVs, and free bottled water, while some have terraces with seating and marvelous garden views. Beautiful plants and trees encompass two outdoor pools, and there is a poolside bar with drinks, but it closes early. Both the on-site restaurant and free breakfast are mediocre. There is a spa with traditional services and fantastic gardens surround the property and include fountains and koi ponds. For those that need to be on Kuta Beach, try the Discovery Kartika Plaza Hotel.

This 88-room mid-range boutique hotel is across the street from Kuta Beach, and close to several good restaurants and area attractions. Rooms are clean and comfortable, and come with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and air-conditioning. Beautiful Balinese tropical gardens line the grounds, and there is an outdoor pool with sun loungers and umbrellas. The beautifully renovated on-site spa offers a wide range of treatments, including aromatherapy, color therapy, and Ayurveda. Its Italian restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and is a good place to watch the sun go down while sipping terrific (though a tad pricey) cocktails. 

The 87-room Adi Dharma Hotel is a mid-range hotel located in a busy area just a five-minute walk to Kuta Beach. Traditional Balinese rooms have contemporary bathrooms and all have furnished balconies, but some look a little worn, with scratches on the furniture. Top features include outdoor pools, a garden, and a full-service spa. A free beach shuttle and 24-hour restaurant and bar are offered, but no fitness center. Guests desiring a more luxurious stay should consider the beachfront Patra Jasa Bali Resort & Villas, with its modern design and outdoor pools with ocean views.

The upscale 185-room Four Points by Sheraton Bali Kuta is a fun hotel with beautiful grounds and interiors. It's located within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and nightlife, and is within a 10-minute walk from Kuta Beach. Guest rooms are modern with a minimalist design and all feature private balconies, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Some have direct access to the central lagoon pool. The three outdoor pools, several on-site restaurants, bars, and kids' club are a plus for families and leisure travelers. There are also a fitness center and spa, as well as three meeting rooms for any business travelers passing through. The only real downside is the exclusion of breakfast from some rates. As an alternative, the Kuta Paradiso Hotel includes a free buffet breakfast.

Across the street from Kuta Beach, the 80-room Alam KulKul Boutique Resort is an upscale property with plenty of amenities. Modern rooms have some traditional design elements, and most have balconies and walk-in tile showers. Some have plunge pools and rainfall showerheads. The two outdoor pools and kids' pools feel private and serene -- as does the full-service spa -- and there are two on-site restaurants and two bars. However, the property lacks fitness facilities and elevators, and only some rooms have access to the AlamClub. Guests desiring a beachfront hotel with lower rates should consider the Grand Istana Rama Hotel Bali.

The 37-room mid-range Adi Dharma Cottages has gorgeously landscaped grounds and traditional Balinese architecture throughout -- all within a that’s a 10-minute walk from Kuta's restaurants, the beach, attractions, and bars. Large, simple rooms with Balinese accents have air-conditioning and free WI-Fi, and all feature balconies or terraces with seating (some with lovely garden and/or pool views). Exterior and traffic noise can be an issue, though, and some rooms show wear and tear. The outdoor pool with a kids area is a major plus here, as is the free, expansive breakfast. The on-site restaurant/bar also receives good reviews and there is a free scheduled beach shuttle. Guests looking to stay adjacent to the beach may want to try the Maharani Beach Hotel, though rates can be a bit higher and features like Wi-Fi are not free. 

The Kuta Beach Heritage Hotel Bali is a four-pearl property with 159 rooms in the heart of Kuta, across the street from the beach. Rooms are chic and spacious, with a tasteful nautical theme plus air-conditioning and minibars -- some feature large balconies with sea views. The infinity pool has excellent views of the ocean and other highlights include well-liked restaurants, a large and varied breakfast buffet, plus a spa and fitness center. This is one of the nicest spots that we've seen in Kuta, though the vibe is lively and may not please those looking for peace and quiet. Given its upmarket finish, rates can be a relative bargain. As a comparison, the Bali Dynasty Resort has similar features and pleasant decor, though it's more expensive and less stylish.

The Berry Glee Hotel is a three-and-a-half pearl property that's best for younger travelers and families, and stands out for its colorful modern design. Kuta Beach and the Legian tourist area are driving distance away, so guests will need a scooter or cabs to get around. The 111 rooms and suites are decorated with neon purple lighting or pop art murals; they have flat-screen TVs, minibars, and large windows. Features at this mid-size property include an indoor glass-enclosed pool, a casual restaurant serving buffet breakfast (for a fee), a karaoke room, and a kids' club. Parking and Wi-Fi are free. For a similar price, guests could also stay at Grand Istana Rama Hotel Bali, which is on the beach, but has less flashy decor. 

The 41-room Bali Agung Village is a good mid-range choice in the heart of Seminyak, just a five-minute walk from Seminyak Beach. Traditional Balinese rooms have air-conditioning plus furnished terraces in addition to walk-in showers with rainfall showerheads. However, some rooms are small and have tired style. The on-site restaurant and poolside bar also offer good value for the money, and there are freebies including breakfast, sometimes sluggish Wi-Fi, babysitting, and an area shuttle. The hotel isn't the best choice for those in need of pampering -- for that, consider the Villa Kubu, with its modern rooms, spa, and butler service, but expect to spend far more money.

The upscale 228-room Patra Jasa Bali Resort & Villas is beachfront hotel with exceptional grounds within a five-minute drive of Kuta's attractions and restaurants. Contemporary rooms all have balconies (some with ocean views), air-conditioning, and free Wi-Fi, while exceptional Villas have extras including private pool access and 24/7 butler service. The airport is essentially next door, but plane noise isn't a bother here, though there are minor upkeep issues in guest rooms. The three outdoor pools plus several on-site restaurants and bars are a plus for the families and large group tours that pass through, and there is a full-service spa as well. For a resort this size a fitness center would be a welcome addition, and guests should compare rates at the Bali Garden Beach Resort, where that feature is included.
