Thereโs a reason everyone in Australia loves visiting Bali โ itโs a tropical paradise. The weather is warm, the people are friendly, and itโs home to some of the most spectacular landscapes on the planet. Plus, Bali also offers some of the best Airbnbs in Southeast Asia, making it a no-brainer destination to visit.
While there are plenty of hotels and resorts on the Island of Gods worth checking out, Airbnb villas are by and large the most popular way for groups and couples to stay in Bali. From palatially proportioned palaces to cosy loft stays, thereโs something for everyone, regardless of the size of your travelling party.
Given how frequently Aussies travel to Bali, we thought itโd be a good idea to check out some of the best properties you can book yourself, guaranteeing an unforgettable trip. Letโs get into it.
Jump To:
Nanuku House, North Kuta
With enough space for up to eight guests, Nanuku House is an ideal option for larger groups jumping on over to the island for a Bali holiday. The four-bedroom Bali home is owned and operated by travel influencers Jack Morris (@JackMorris) and Lauren Bullen (@Gypsea_lust), and is located close to the action of Canggu, while still offering plenty of privacy.
Nanukuโs lavish private rooftop sauna is one of the main reasons for bookings for Nanuku House, and youโll also have a cold water bath and a villa manager who can arrange on-site massages and private chefs upon request. Itโs in one of the best areas on the island, close to great venues like Mosto and Santanera, and the pool area looks perfect for those quieter moments.

Pricing: From $1,194 per night (late-September)
Hilltop Villa, Singaraja
North Bali is an incredibly underrated and underdeveloped part of the island, so I was interested to see if there are any great Airbnbs up that way. Fortunately, Villa Sanglung is one such destination, standing out due to its commanding view along the peninsula.
The North Balinese villas that Iโve come across have all leaned towards the rustic, authentic style without much sense of luxury, but Villa Sanglung looks like an easy exception with its contemporary design.
Location: Singaraja
Rating: 4.93 Stars (406 reviews)
Guests: Six
Pricing: From $300 per night (mid-September)
SunRice Loft, Sidemen
Just two people can fit into this incredibly unique Bali accommodation, with SunRice located in the middle of a large working field, making it one of the most magnificent rice paddy lofts on the island. If youโve seen it on Airbnb before, itโll almost certainly have been booked out, as a popular property for couples who want to soak up some authentic Bali accommodation.
Location: Sidemen
Rating: 4.77 Stars (295 reviews)
Guests: Two
Pricing: From $244 per night (mid-September)
Villa Levante, Kecamatan Kuta Utara
Villa Levante is an architectural triumph that you could just as easily expect to find in Miami or Greece, boasting a 25-metre pool, three bedrooms, open skies, and total calm in a quiet pocket of Umalas. Inside, youโll find natural textures, streaming sunlight, and design that feels thoughtfully considered โ from the sunken lounge to the lush bedrooms.
Location: Kecamatan Kuta Utara
Rating: 4.95 Stars (77 reviews)
Guests: Eight
Pricing: From $1,230 per night (mid-September)
Veluvana Bali โ Scorpio House, Sidemen
Scorpio House is a property youโre likely to have already lusted over on Instagram, with a bold bamboo design, a private pool, and one of the more stunning views in all of Bali. Beneath the open-air bedroom is where youโll find the iconic stinger-shaped pool, at your disposal whenever the mood strikes, while the secluded location promises privacy and peace in equal measure.
Location: Sidemen

Pricing: From $244 per night (mid-September)
Balian Treehouse 1, Balian Beach
Balian Treehouse is both secluded and well-connected to a tiny coastal village, surrounded by a small surfing community. Youโll find this one just a stoneโs throw from the hidden gem of Balian Beach, along the coast from Canggu and Seminyak.
The treehouse itself is quaint, well-designed, and has a very large garden. If youโre looking for an authentic Balinese stay thatโs far from the hustle of the main island, then youโll be hard-pressed to find something as perfect for a couple as this beauty.
Location: Balian Beach

Guests: Two
Pricing: From $121 per night (mid-September)
Villa Mana, Canggu
The entire Boss Hunting office worked from Villa Mana for a week at the tail-end of 2022. Not only is it perfectly located just a short drive from the heart of Canggu, but the idyllic Bali home is an epic idea for any bigger groups looking to live it up on the island.
I still remember walking into the sprawling forecourt for the first time, with the entire place looking like a luxury home that belonged on reality TV. Across seven bedrooms, most with their open-air en-suite bathroom, youโll be able to fit around 10 people.
Amenities include a private culinary team who can prepare pretty much anything you want each day and a cosy media room with a pool table. But the real reason to stay here is variety. Youโve got enough private nooks that you can easily get some seclusion in before joining everyone else by the lush 17-metre pool, which offers an expansive view over working rice paddies.
Location: Canggu

Guests: Ten
Pricing: From $2,022 per night (mid-September)
Villa Atlantis, Kuta
Villa Atlantis is commonly referenced as one of Airbnbโs most โwish-listedโ properties in Bali. From the photos alone, itโs not hard to see why, but be warned: itโs tough to score a booking here, especially during the high season.
The one-bedroom villa consistently attracts five-star reviews from honeymooners who seem to love the modern minimalist design and smart indoor-outdoor spaces.
Youโve also got the bonus of location. While most of Baliโs best Airbnbs are a bit secluded from the major metropolitan areas, Villa Atlantis is close to the heart of Seminyak. That means major points for food and drink, shopping and nightlife, seeing as Seminyak is still very much the cultural hub of Bali.
Location: Kuta

Guests: Two
Pricing: From $212 per night (mid-September)
Suboya Bamboo House, Selat
As one of the best-known Airbnbs on the island, bookings at Suboya Bamboo House require some planning as the place is occupied almost year-round. If you do manage to score a booking, youโll be one of a special few to enjoy the remarkable property.
You might have already seen it pop up on your social media feeds, easily recognisable thanks to its massive hammock looking out over the quiet rice terraces, with the peak of Mount Agung looming in the distance. A truly unforgettable stay if weโve ever seen one.
Location: Selat
Rating: 4.94 Stars (478 reviews)
Guests: Four
Pricing: From $579 per night (mid-September)
Hideout Beehive, Selat
There are more than a couple of homes in Bali with treehouse-inspired architecture. Hideout Beehive (part of the Hideout collection) is one such property.
Youโll find this wedged into a secluded area of Selat, richly designed as an eco-bamboo home. Expect a comprehensive suite of amenities when staying here, from a free scooter to use during your stay to a fully-equipped kitchen, modern sound system and outdoor heated pool; itโs got it all.
Nearby Hideout Bistro also delivers, so you could just cosy up here for two nights and have everything you need without stepping outside.
Location: Selat
Rating: 4.98 Stars (367 reviews)
Guests: Four
Pricing: From $541 per night (late-September)
Beachside Villa, Kuta
This property is nothing short of epic, as a cliff-front luxury villa that maximises views over Baliโs famed Bukit peninsula. Youโll be able to fit up to eight guests across four bedrooms, which, like Villa Mana in Canggu, makes this a pro-choice for bigger groups looking to get away.
Youโll be able to enjoy large bedrooms, complete with en-suite bathtubs that overlook the Indian Ocean, as well as two private pools, a private driver and a chef who is more than ready to fix up those classic Balinese floating breakfasts. How good.
Location: Kuta
Rating: 4.79 Stars (128 reviews)
Guests: Eight
Pricing: From $1,072 per night (mid-September)
