Take a Dip: Bali Villas & Suites with Private Pools

From rainforest-framed pools at Ayatara Resort Ubud to ocean-facing dips at The Apurva Kempinski Bali and secluded pool days at One Eleven Retreat – these are the best Bali pool villas and suites.

From clifftop suites at The Apurva Kempinski Bali in Nusa Dua to rainforest villas at Ayatara Resort Ubud and adults-only pool stays at One Eleven Retreat in Seminyak, Bali offers a private-pool stay for every kind of traveller. Couples can slip away for secluded swims, while families and groups can spread out in spacious residences and multi-bedroom villas, with a pool just beyond the door.

Ayatara Resort Ubud

Ayatara Resort Ubud’s private-pool accommodation ranges from the secluded Private Pool Suite, where floor-to-ceiling glass doors open onto a terrace and pool framed by tropical greenery, to the romantic Honeymoon Pool Villa, designed for quiet, intimate escapes. Each option pairs the stillness of Bali’s highlands with the privacy of your own outdoor retreat.

Impiana Private Villas Ubud

At Impiana Private Villas Ubud, private pool villas are designed to make the most of their Ayung River valley setting.

The Apurva Kempinski Bali

The Apurva Kempinski Bali brings a sense of grandeur to the private-pool stay, perched on Nusa Dua’s clifftop with views across the Indian Ocean and tropical gardens.

The Seminyak resort delivers space, seclusion and personalised service in abundance – each villa comes with its own private pool and dedicated butler, creating a self-contained retreat just minutes from the neighbourhood’s famed beaches, boutiques and nightlife. When you’re not floating in your villa pool, dine at Masé Kitchen & Wine Bar or take advantage of complimentary access to the nearby SOHAM Wellness Center, complete with spa, sauna and fitness facilities. It’s a polished, well-located villa escape that balances privacy with easy access to Bali’s most vibrant neighbourhood.

Anantara Ubud Bali Resort
