The best new villas & hotels in Bali 2025
Anantara – Ubud
A serene highland hideaway in the jungle, offering forest‑view villas and deep‑dive wellness experiences.
Nestled in the lush highlands of Payangan, Anantara Ubud is one of those places that makes you exhale the second you arrive. Surrounded by rice terraces and thick jungle, it feels miles away from the buzz of Bali’s southern shores in the best way possible.
The villa was everything we’d expect from Anantara: spacious, stylish, and super private, with a plunge pool that overlooked the treetops. The dining offerings are just as curated. Amerta serves dry-aged seafood and tasting menus that elevate local ingredients into fine-dining territory. Kirana, on the other hand, serves Indonesian specialties and poolside bites in a more relaxed setting. Whether you’re here with your partner, your family or just treating yourself to some solo weekend getaway, Anantara Ubud is the kind of place that stays with you long after checkout.
Best for: Couples looking to recharge with forest views, fine dining, and immersive wellness.
Good to know: The resort is set into a hillside, so be prepared for a few steps or inclinator rides. And while it’s away from the buzz, there’s a free shuttle to Ubud town a few times a day.
Address: Jl. Raya Puhu No. 88, Payangan.
Mira Hotel & Recovery – Bingin
Design-led boutique hotel in Bingin with stylish rooms, cold plunges, sauna sessions, and a recovery space for wellness lovers.
Mira Hotel & Recovery is where laid-back beach life meets high-end healing. It brings a modern, minimalist edge to the wellness hotel scene, with studio lofts and suites that open onto gardens or quiet courtyards. Think warm textures, clean lines and thoughtful calm, the kind of place that makes you instantly breathe deeper.
This isn’t your typical hotel spa, it’s a full-on wellness circuit with contrast therapy at its core. There’s a huge dry sauna, multiple cold plunge pools set at different temps (I did the rounds!), a warm Jacuzzi, and shaded spots to lounge post-sweat. The minimalist design and moody lighting made it feel almost meditative.
Best for: Wellness lovers and surfers who want a stylish, peaceful place with saunas and cold plunges near the beach.
Good to know: The recovery space can get popular in the afternoons, morning sessions are best for quiet.

Adults-only eco-friendly wellness retreat in Ubud, featuring private pools, Balinese touches, and lush nature immersion.

Nestled on the northern outskirts of Ubud, this wellness retreat (and super romantic hideaway) offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of Bali’s southern streets.
The eco-friendly hotel invites each guest to immerse in nature, with lush greenery as far as the eye can see. Each villa features a thatched roof, its very own pool, locally-made fabrics and Balinese touches in every corner. Yep, this is where nature, culture and comfort collide.
Best for: Solo travellers and couples looking for a calm, romantic escape in nature.

Artsy, wellness, and family-friendly resort near Pererenan Beach with a rooftop Korean spa, and local art.
This brand new hotel in Pererenan is a creative hub where art meets wellness. Noema Resort Pererenan has got all of the essentials and so much more. Think strategic location, delicious dining, inspiring artwork by local artists, a rooftop Korean-inspired spa, and wellness experiences. I was one of the first guests to check in: Here’s my full review of Noema Resort Pererenan.
I stayed in a Tropical Studio, which was perfect if you’re travelling solo, but with 156 rooms, the choices here are endless. Think suites and studios with pool or garden views, or even direct pool access. For families, I recommend opting for one of the larger suites with its very own plunge pool.

Klay Bar – Canggu
Canggu’s first sip & paint bistrot for small groups, offering painting on Javanese clay pieces while enjoying cocktails and bar bites.
Sipping and painting go hand in hand in my books. So when I heard that there’s a spot in Canggu where you can do both, I went there to check it out! Klay Bar is an activity-focused bistrot brought to us by a wonderful team of ladies who love art. It’s the first of its kind in Canggu, where everyone is welcome to paint clay pieces whilst sipping on cocktails, grazing on bar bites (think cheese platters, cold cuts, croquettes and fresh oysters) and keeping the conversation going.
I first got to choose my own clay piece, AKA my canvas. There’s a variety to choose from, from bowls and plates, to mugs and tea cups. They’re all minimalist and elegant in design, crafted with Javanese clay. Then, I picked the colours I wanted to use before I settled in for a fun-filled afternoon with a mimosa in hand. Cheers to that!
Best for: Small groups looking for a fun and social afternoon in Canggu.
Good to know: To finish, the clay pieces are heated in the kiln for a few days. You’ll want to check with the team beforehand, if you’re in Bali for a limited time.
Address: Jl Tanah Barak No. 1a, Canggu.
More New Things in Bali 2025
One of my travel rituals is tasting a locally-brewed craft beer, and lucky for us, there’s a newly launched addition to Bali-based breweries: Beaches. This independent, locally-owned brewery uses all-natural and sustainably sourced ingredients to create beers that are super drinkable! I tried both of their signatures, and my favourite is the light-bodied Cerveza lager with a citrusy finish – it’s perfect for any occasion, whether you’re toasting to sunset or hanging out post-dinner with your crew.
For cocktail aficionado, how about a sip of the newly launched vodka, Blackrock? Hand-distilled in Bali using volcanic rock filtered spring water, this local spirit showcases expert craftsmanship through its purity, minerality and oh-so-smooth finish. Every sip is clean and crisp, thanks to a multi-stage charcoal filtration process, yet retains an earthy edge – a nod to the volcanic rock that shapes its character. Blackrock is brought to us by the team behind Bali’s Kura Kura Beer, Santai Seltzer and Three Peaks Gin, so they know their alcohol!
