Viceroy, Bali

This intimate hideaway on the elevated verdant outskirts of Ubud is simply breathtaking.

With just 25 pool villas secluded in lush greenery, at the Viceroy Bali you’ll feel like you’ve been let in on a best-kept secret. It combines elegance and extravagance with an outstanding welcome, thanks in part to something special: the resort is family-owned and operated, with the Australian owners on site each day to ensure that all guests have a memorable and personalised experience.

Overlooking a striking ravine, the Viceroy Bali has featured in magazine shoots and television adverts around the world, and it offers complete tranquillity – sink into traditional Balinese balés by the infinity pool that appears to float mid-air and drink in the views over the valley. Fine dining comes as standard here. High in the treetop canopy, the award-winning CasCades Restaurant serves tempting French cuisine with an Asian twist and is one of the island’s best-loved eateries. The Viceroy Bar is the perfect spot to enjoy cocktails and fine wines while watching the sun set over the Petanu River.

The spacious villas all have a beautiful marble bathroom, private pool and terrace with wonderful valley views. The tropical Pool Suites have a semi-indoor heated plunge pool. Terrace and Deluxe Terrace Villas have an outdoor heated pool and small Balinese pavilion perched above the pool and over the valley. These villas can be paired to create a two-bedroom family villa. The two individual Vice Regal Villas and the two-bedroom Viceroy Villa have a spacious outdoor area with garden and larger pool.
