Bali does the flop-and-drop better than almost anywhere. The island has the beaches, the beach clubs, the jaw-dropping resort architecture and some of the best poolside food in Asia – and at its best all-inclusive resorts, very little goes on a tab. From Nusa Dua’s grand beachfront estates to a hillside hideaway above Ubud’s rice paddies, these are the resorts where every meal, every cocktail and most of what makes a Bali holiday worth having is already sorted before you arrive. Some cover absolutely everything, with three meals a day and free-flow drinks from breakfast to last orders, while others work on a curated inclusions model. The list is divided accordingly; scroll on to find your perfect match.
The best all-inclusive resorts in Bali
Paradisus by Meliá Bali
The first Paradisus resort in Asia opened on Nusa Dua’s beachfront in February 2026, and it arrives with a point of difference: rather than simply covering meals and drinks, the all-inclusive program here extends to cultural immersion. Enjoy dining across eight restaurants – Spanish tapas at Peseta, beachfront South American at Kanna, Balinese cuisine paired with live dance at Arum – plus daily poolside snacks, 24-hour room service and a minibar restocked each morning. The ‘Destination Inclusive’ program adds curated off-site experiences to the mix, from the Devdan cultural show at Bali Nusa Dua Theatre to village visits near Mount Batukaru. Four pools weave through 25 acres of tropical gardens, the adults-only Reserve has its own private beach and exclusive restaurant, and families are looked after with a dedicated kids’ club, Aquazone and Balinese craft sessions.
Samabe Bali Suites & Villas
Perched on a clifftop above Nusa Dua with its own white sand beach accessible by inclinator, Samabe Bali Suites & Villas takes all-inclusive seriously. The ‘Unlimited Privileges’ package covers three meals a day –buffet breakfast at Rempah-Rempah, à la carte lunches and dinners anywhere on property, afternoon tea at Crystal Blue Ocean Grill – plus a daily signature activity chosen from a long and genuinely unusual list: camel riding along the beach, Balinese cooking lessons, in-villa massage, or an 11-course degustation dinner inside a naturally formed sea cave. A 24-hour e-butler handles the logistics so you don’t have to. It’s one of the more complete all-inclusive formulas in Bali, and the clifftop setting – infinity pool facing the Indian Ocean, private beach below – makes a strong argument for rarely leaving.
Grand Mirage Resort & Thalasso Bali
Grand by name and grand by nature, Grand Mirage Resort & Thalasso Bali is one of the best for all-inclusive luxury. Overlooking the Indian Ocean, the 12 bars and restaurants offer vastly different dining experiences while making the most of the coastal views and atmosphere. The Grand Cafe offers all-day dining, while Jukung Seafood Grill is the ideal spot for al fresco meals with a stunning view. Ibu Kitchen promises a taste of local Indonesian flavours, and JJ Rooftop Lounge is a go-to for sundowners and stargazing. There are six pools to choose from, including a new 215-metre lazy river, the longest in Bali.
Mövenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran Bali
The ultra-luxe Mövenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran Bali is a lavish five-star retreat from the brand behind Swiss-style artisanal ice cream, just a short walk or buggy ride from the sought-after Jimbaran Beach. Feast your way through five dining destinations: from Anarasa Restaurant serving up local favourites alongside Asian and international crowd-pleasers like Kung Pao chicken and creamy carbonara, to the Katha Lobby Lounge’s single-origin Indonesian coffees, sushi and burgers, to handcrafted cocktails at the poolside Jejala Bar. Plus, you’ll get to feast on Mövenpick’s famous chocolate hour every day with desserts and decadent treats prepared by in-house chocolatiers.
Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa – Handwritten Collection
Live like a VIP at one of Bali’s most legendary resorts, with a guest list that has included royalty, presidents and celebrities over the years. Positioned across 200 metres of private, pristine beachfront and 23 acres of verdant tropical gardens, Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa is what Bali dreams are made of.
Bliss is easy to find here as you spend your days lazing on the golden beach, floating in the sparkling ocean or dipping in one of four swimming pools dotted across the resort grounds. When hunger strikes, you’ll be wined and dined like an A-lister with daily breakfast, lunch, dinner and nightly free-flow drinks included in your package, including themed dinners on select days. The onsite bars serve up mouthwatering cocktails, beers, wines and spirits amid tropical surroundings.
Kayumanis Jimbaran Private Estate & Spa
Jimbaran is famed for its golden beaches, clifftop views and next-level seafood, as well as its slick and beautiful resorts: Kayumanis Jimbaran Private Estate & Spa included. Tucked into a former coconut grove just metres from a traditional fisherman’s beach in Jimbaran, Kayumanis Jimbaran Private Estate & Spa feels less like a resort and more like a private village, with villas scattered among towering palms, each with its own pool, open-air bathroom and 24-hour butler service. When you do venture out of the villa, Kayumanis Resto Jimbaran serves authentic Indonesian cuisine with a focus on market-fresh ingredients and catch-of-the-day seafood – which, given Jimbaran’s reputation as Bali’s seafood capital, is exactly the right call.
Grand Hyatt Bali
For an easy breezy Bali escape you can’t beat the legendary Grand Hyatt Bali. Just a 15-minute drive from the airport, with Nusa Dua’s best beaches on the doorstep and absolutely everything you could want onsite – we’re talking five pools, nine restaurants and bars, a spa and an ocean-themed kids’ club – this is the ultimate flop-and-drop. Adding to the ease is its all-inclusive offer, with daily breakfast, lunch and dinner, drinks that flow all day long, two hours of kids’ club access per day and more included.
Ayodya Resort Bali
Five-star beachfront bliss is only made better with the all-inclusive offering at Ayodya Resort Bali in Nusa Dua. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and free-flow drinks (alcoholic and non) are included along with a complimentary minibar, restocked daily, plus select resort activities. Embark on an international culinary tour, starting at Waterfall Restaurant for a breakfast buffet, followed by beachside BBQ at Ayodya Beach Club & Grill, and traditional Japanese sashimi for dinner. A signature iced tea is the perfect complement to the balmy Bali weather.
Merusaka Nusa Dua
Bali’s Merusaka Nusa Dua does all-inclusive the right way, across four onsite restaurants. The beachfront resort takes its cues from the sea, whether it’s panoramic views over a seafood dinner or a refreshing coastal breeze with a Caprese salad, char-grilled short ribs and pan-seared barramundi at Ja’Jan Bistro. No matter which restaurant you choose, there is always free-flow alcohol. If you’re feeling peckish between lunch and dinner, pop down to the Bar Lounge for afternoon tea and a signature Coco Mojito!
Other Bali resorts with great inclusions
The Apurva Kempinski Bali
The Apurva Kempinski and opulence go hand-in-hand. This palatial resort is home to Bali’s first aquarium dining experience (yes, you can dine in a glass tunnel surrounded by tropical marine life), a 60-metre pool lined with cabanas and palm trees and faultless service from the ‘ladies in red’.
AYANA Segara Bali
Prefer more choice to less? At this clifftop retreat you can dine across an incredible 11 restaurants (and that includes the world-famous Rock Bar). After all that eating, sip a cocktails at Luna Rooftop Bar as the sun sets and transforms the sky into a striking array of colours over the ocean.
The Stones Hotel – Legian, Bali
You have to be pretty good to be awarded the coveted title of Bali’s Leading Five-Star Resort in Kuta, let alone one of the most recognisable resorts on the beachfront. But The Stones Hotel achieves it all with ease. Blending laid-back coastal energy with sharp contemporary design and a genuinely vibrant atmosphere, it’s a one-of-a-kind experience, and the palm-fringed pool is the undisputed centrepiece with cabanas, a sundeck and a pool bar that takes happy hour seriously. Whether you’re here for the surf, the sunsets or simply to do as little as possible, this is Bali beachfront living at its most effortless.
Puri Wulandari A Boutique Resort & Spa
Tumbling down an Ubud hillside above a trickling river, this boutique resort is surrounded by rice paddies, jungle and soaring mountains, with each private pool villa overlooking the lush treetops. Adding to the tranquillity is dining at Legong Terrace Restaurant. Located next to the resort pool, it serves locally sourced ingredients across its Balinese and international dishes.
The Mulia Bali
The Mulia is one of Luxury Escapes’ most beloved and iconic Bali resorts: not just for its award-winning luxury, but the generous inclusions, which can vary per package from cocktails and canapes to daily meals and beach club entry. The estate encompasses three distinct experiences: the all-suite beachfront Mulia, the lagoon-pooled Mulia Resort, and the hilltop Mulia Villas, each with its own private pool. Across all three, nine restaurants and bars cover the culinary ground from Indonesian buffets to gourmet fine dining, and the spa – with hydrotherapy pools, a Finnish sauna, and Asia Pacific’s first Ice Room – is a destination in its own right.
Everything you need to know about all-inclusive in Bali
What does all-inclusive mean at a Bali resort?
In Bali, all-inclusive packages typically cover breakfast, lunch and dinner across the resort’s restaurants, plus drinks throughout the day or for an hour each evening. The best packages add bonus inclusions –daily spa treatments, beach club access, kids’ club, or curated excursions – so it’s worth checking individual offers and packages for details.
When is the best time to visit Bali for a resort holiday?
Bali’s dry season runs from May to September, with July and August the busiest and most popular months. For all-inclusive resort stays – where you’re spending most of your time on property – the shoulder months of May, June and September offer the best combination of reliable weather and lower pricing.
Is all-inclusive worth it in Bali?
At most of the resorts on this list, yes – particularly if you plan to eat and drink primarily on property. Bali’s all-inclusive packages tend to offer genuinely strong value compared to paying separately, especially when drinks are included: cocktails and imported spirits at five-star resorts in Nusa Dua can add up quickly.
