Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak Beach

In the lobby of this hotel is a pohon pule tree (or “blackboard tree”) that grows through an opening in the ceiling. It sets the tone for the whole property – a blend of modern luxury, heritage and spirituality. The added bonus is that the vibrant neighbourhood of Seminyak is right on the doorstep. There are 270 spacious rooms, designed with locally influenced aesthetics and a modern twist, plus 19 villas for a more private stay – each with an outdoor pool. Hotel Indigo’s eight dining choices provide plenty of culinary variety, including two beachfront options. And the onsite Sava Spa is inspired by Bali’s paddy fields, with treatments using local ingredients and holistic healing methods. There’s also a 24-hour health club and in-house wellness programme including private boxing, yoga and guided runs. seminyak.hotelindigo.com

Villa JOJU

While this Canggu property takes its reputation as a “home away from home” seriously, inside it’s all fun and relaxation, with plenty of space for high-energy little ones too. This is an ideal villa for families, sleeping up to 14 people (or you can also book the adjoining Villa to cater to as many as 22!). Inside the kids’ bunk room is an array of toys and books, which they’ll enjoy after making the most of the pool, bouncy castle, pet bunnies, fish spa, and games and activities. Stays include complimentary access to the nearby VIP beach club and water park – you can watch the sunset on the beach or try surfing some waves. Villa JOJU comes fully staffed with a private chef, housekeepers, butlers and nanny services. villajoju.com
