Kamandalu Private Pool Villa in Bali

Bali: A Showcase of Dreamy Private Pool Options

Ah, Bali, the paradise island that keeps on giving. Over the years, I've had the chance to experience Bali in various styles, and each time, I find myself drawn to the sanctuaries with private pools. Here are a few of my absolute favorites.

The Viceroy Bali, Ubud

Bali: The Viceroy Bali

Imagine terraced rice fields, an endless sky, and your private pool hanging over a jungle valley. That's The Viceroy in Bali. They also served one of the best Indonesian meals I've had, right next to my pool!

Best For: Spiritual seekers and culinary enthusiasts.

Alternate Option: If you'd rather be closer to the beach, Seminyak offers luxurious options as well.

This bustling area is a treasure trove when it comes to villas with private pools. Imagine sipping on a freshly made smoothie bowl as you dip your toes in your secluded pool, all while being just a stone's throw away from hip boutiques and beach clubs. These villas offer the best of both worlds: the privacy to rejuvenate and the option to socialize whenever you're in the mood. Ideal for couples and groups of friends, Seminyak's private pool villas are your cozy oasis amidst the island's sizzling energy.

Tuscany: Rosewood Castiglion Del Bosco

Staying in Tuscany feels like you're in a renaissance painting, and Rosewood Castiglion Del Bosco adds an opulent twist. Vineyards all around, you can sip local wine by your private infinity pool overlooking the lush Italian hillsides. One evening, I even took a cooking class to make my own pasta, which tasted even better eaten poolside.
