As the holiday starts in earnest, we rounded up a selection of places to stay at the Island of the Gods, just for you

It’s no secret that Bali is everyone’s favorite island escape. So, it goes without saying that, with the holiday season upon us, enjoying a beachfront spot with your loved ones in Bali sounds like a good idea. With Indonesia’s favorite island destination now open to domestic visitors and hotels and resorts reopening their doors (while enforcing stricter safety and health regulations, of course), we have gathered some of the most remarkable places for you to stay at the Island of the Gods for the end of this year.

1. Nirjhara

Situated in Kedungu, a coastal area near the famous Tanah Lot Temple, Nirjhara is a new boutique resort where luxury and sustainability meet. Interestingly, the nature-based design of the boutique resort draws inspiration from the traditional villages that the owner first encountered while traveling to Bali in 1996. Nirjhara means “waterfall” in Sanskrit, an appropriate name for a space situated in the middle of natural wonders. Furthermore, the resort is also just minutes away from Tanah Lot Temple as mentioned earlier, and also Pantai Kedungu, a scenic beach popular for its beginner and intermediate surf breaks.

There are 25 villas in Nirjhara ranging from River Pavilions, Canopy Suites in the shape of treehouses, Two Bedroom Pool Villas and an exclusive Two-Bedroom Villa named The Residence. More importantly, Nirjhara also practices sustainability throughout its property with the use of its own drinking water in recycled glass bottles, implementing ozone water treatment and eliminating single-use plastic.
