Bali holidays are becoming increasingly popular. The beautiful Indonesian island is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the region. It lies between the islands of Java and Lombok, and is the westernmost of the Lesser Sunda Islands. From beautiful beaches and warm, clear waters to fascinating cultural activities encompassing a range of arts including performances of dance and music, as well as exhibitions of other art forms such as painting, leather and sculpting, it is no wonder people return year after year for holidays at luxury hotels in Bali.
Bali is also ideal for golf holidays, where avid golfers can combine beautiful scenery and beaches with their favourite past time. Here are some of the best hotels in Bali to choose, that all have golf courses nearby.
Nikko Bali Resort and Spa
This hotel in Bali must surely be in one of the most scenic regions of the island. Situated in the southern Nusa Dua area, you can enjoy breathtaking views over the Indian Ocean and Bali beaches from your position at the top of a 40 metre cliff. Lounge around at the hotel pool, soak up the sunshine and admire your surroundings, and when you've had enough of doing absolutely nothing in the sublime Bali sunshine, you can treat yourself to a spa treatment to rejuvenate. As the Nikko Bali is close to the beach, you can enjoy spending many a day on the fine white sands while staying at this 5 star Bali hotel. And for the avid golfers, the Nusa Dua Golf and Country Club is just 5 minutes away, making this luxurious hotel somewhat of a golfers paradise.
The Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay
This superb 5 star Bali hotel is situated on the island's southern tip. One of the central attractions of this hotel is the beautiful landscaped gardens, affording 35 acres of pretty scenery for you to enjoy leisurely strolls and lazy afternoons in the sunshine. In the heat of mid day, you can lounge in your plunge pool, fully appreciating your location as you gaze out over the Indian Ocean. Whilst affording the ultimate in luxury accommodation for your Bali holiday, the resort also encapsulates the spirit of Jimbaran Bay. The accommodation is structured such that guests stay in series of 20 thatched roof villas, all neatly positioned around a village square. Each ‘village' has its own chief, who will assist guests and help to make their stay as memorable as possible. With beautiful views over the terraced hillside, you can enjoy a peaceful experience in this spiritual region. And for golf fans who would love nothing more than to play their favourite sport in such an idyllic setting, the Bali Golf and Country Club is just 20 minutes away.
The Four Seasons at Sayan, Ubud
Another Four Seasons Resort, you can expect excellent accommodation at this Bali hotel. Situated in the magnificent Ayung Valley, you can enjoy 180 degree views from the hotel grounds – a perfect location to spend some quiet time whilst taking in the breathtaking views. The design of the gardens is simply beautiful with wooden bridges leading over pretty ponds surrounded by beautiful flowers in this lush, tropical setting. The interior continues with the intricate design, with Indonesian furnishings and fabrics setting the theme of the hotel rooms. And just 60 minutes away is the Nirwana Bali Golf Course, expertly designed by Greg Norman, where Bali holidaymakers can enjoy golfing in the beautiful Bali countryside.
