Gay Bali • Luxury Hotels

The all-suite Anantara offers contemporary Balinese-styled rooms with panoramic ocean views. Each suite features a signature terrazzo tub, satellite TV, iPod dock, espresso coffee machine, outdoor loungers and free WiFi.

Pool suites have direct access to a semi-private pool and terrace. The resort has an excellent beachside location, close to many restaurants and within easy reach of gay bar Bali Joe, Mixwell, Facebar and other gay venues.

We are fans of the Anantara and have found them to offer a consistently excellent quality of service and exceptionally warm welcome to gay guests.

The nearest luxury hotel to the Seminyak gay nightlife. The Courtyard by Marriott Bali is just a short walk from the beach and the main gay bars and clubs. Free shuttle services to Seminyak Beach are provided.

The resort has all the 5-star facilities including a nice outdoor pool, a spa and a gym. There is an in-house restaurant, 24-hour front desk, tour desk and room service.

Each tastefully decorated guest room has free WiFi, flat screen cable TV, iPod dock, safe, minibar and private balcony overlooking the garden.

This very good value-for-money, 5-star beachfront resort offers 128 Balinese-styled luxury suites and bedrooms, located just a short walk from the gay bars & clubs and a range of great restaurants.

The Royal Beach Seminyak (over 4.5 hectares of tropical gardens) features two beautiful pools, one on the beach and another in the garden area. Each spacious, secluded spa villa has a private whirlpool or swimming pool.

A popular luxury hotel in Bali on Travel Gay Asia.

The Elysian offers some of the best resort-based private villas in Seminyak. Each of the 14 villas features an 8-metre pool, a-state-of-the-art entertainment system with Apple TV, an iPod and BOSE sound dock.

The beach is just moments from your villa, or you could relax in one of the cabanas by the main pool. The hotel offers a choice of excellent restaurants (including 24-hour in-villa dining), or you can try one of the many local restaurants.

The gay-popular KU DE TA is just a few minutes’ walk away, and the gay bars are a bit further. Expect great service and the warmest of welcomes.

Most seasoned gay travellers understand the W concept.  Cool, iconic and innovative.  The W Bali does not stray far from these themes – think illuminated door knobs, BOSE sound systems, LED-lit bedside tables.

The “Talent” (staff) are all graduates of W smile school and generally live up to the brand’s reputation of doing everything legally possible to make their guests happy.

We like the ‘Ocean View’ rooms in the main building as they have stunning beach views and are a lot closer to the main pool area than the private villas.

The W Bali is near the gay-popular Batu Belig Beach. Gay bars and clubs in Seminyak can be reached by taxi in 15-30 minutes, depending on traffic.

The beautiful luxury Seminyak Beach Resort is located right next to the gay-popular KU DE TA restaurant. It features an infinity pool, a spa and restaurant and a lounge bar with ocean views.

Each spacious Balinese-styled room features a 42” flat screen TV, DVD player, iPod docking station, free WiFi and rain shower. Some rooms have a hot tub with sea views.

This beachfront resort offers free shuttle services to Seminyak, Legian and Kuta beaches.  Bicycle rentals and butler services are available. Gay bars and hotspots in Seminyak can be reached in 10 minutes.

The Seiryu offers a sense of refined Japanese-style luxury combined with Balinese hospitality.

Think Zen minimalism but with generous goodies such as LCD TV, jacuzzi, private pool, gazebo daybed, free WiFi and full kitchen. There is a private beach club for hotel guests.

Located in a quieter part of Seminyak, close to the beach and a short walk from Bali Joe gay bar, Mixwell as well as Double 66 Beach.

The Legian occupies a prime location right on the beachfront, just a few minutes by taxi from the gay bar scene. KU DE TA restaurant is a 5-minute walk away. 

Every luxurious suite and villa has an ocean view and is just steps from the sand. Even the smallest suite is massive (99 m²) and has its own living space and outdoor terraces.

This resort has 3 swimming pools (one reserved for adults only), an exceptionally good spa, gym and selection of restaurants.

This small luxury villa resort in Seminyak offers just 3 large, very private, fully-staffed 1, 2 or 3-bedroom villas. Each villa has its own private pool, garden, large living room and fully equipped kitchen.

You also get your own butler, and your chef will prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner whenever you want it. There is free WiFi and cable TV with over 60 channels.

If you are tempted to leave your own pool, then there is a huge choice of restaurants, cafés and shops nearby, and the gay nightlife can be reached within minutes. Book early!

Stunning all-villa resort, set within 5,000 m² of private grounds. You have all the privacy and space as each villa has a walled garden with a gazebo, 14-metre pool and sun loungers.

Inside, the modern villas extend to over 125 m² of  living spaces with large bedrooms and luxurious bathrooms with exclusive toiletries. Other amenities include Nespresso coffee machines, free WiFi and satellite TV’s.

One Eleven is located halfway between the gay area on Batu Belig Beach and gay bars on Jalan Camplung Tanduk.

Exquisite beachside resort, set in 15 acres of beautiful tropical gardens on Seminyak Beach. The Oberoi offers private pool villas in traditional Balinese style, with thatched roof, satellite TV, iPod dock, bathtub and free WiFi.

The Oberoi Spa offers a variety of massage treatments in open-air pavilions. The resort also has a gym and an outdoor pool that overlooks the ocean.

Well-located for the gay scene, The Oberoi is just 500 metres from the gay-popular KU DE TA restaurant and Seminyak Square Shopping Mall.

Great-value 5-star resort with a private sandy beach, the Hilton Bali is a great choice if you don’t plan to spend every night out to the bars in Seminyak.

We like the Club Rooms that have beautiful views of the Indian Ocean. The hotel has a Club Lounge for breakfast, cocktails, high tea, all-day refreshments, and a private pool. Children under 12 are not permitted in the Club.

This resort has earned its gay-friendly credentials by hosting the 2012 G Tennis Tournament. 20 km / approx. 45 by taxi ($10+) from the Seminyak gay nightlife.

The romantic, award-winning AYANA Resort is set at the top of a limestone cliff on Bali’s southwest-facing coast. It has a wonderful private white sandy beach, exceptional hotel facilities and the amazing hilltop ‘Rock Bar’.

The resort has 4 swimming pools. Our favourite is the stunning “Ocean Beach” pool that is built into the cliff and has panoramic Indian ocean views.

If you fancy a night out, then the gay bars in Seminyak are about 45 minutes away by car. This is a popular resort, so the best time to visit is outside of the traditional family holiday seasons.

The breathtakingly beautiful Maya Resort is tucked away in tropical gardens, surrounded by rice paddies and Petanu River.  With an inspiring design concept, the resort perfectly blends modern architecture with natural landscapes to a maximum effect.

Large suites & villas have their own private terrace/balcony.  The resort can arrange for nature walks and tours and offers yoga/Pilates classes, though our favourite pastime is relaxing by the gorgeous infinity-edge pool with its amazing views.

The Maya Ubud is about 10-15 minutes’ walk to town, but there is a free shuttle that runs from 8am-5pm.

If you’re looking for a total relaxing holiday experience in Bali, then the Alila Ubud could be the answer. This quiet resort offers a beautiful hillside retreat along the banks of Ayung River, just 3 miles from Ubud.

Combining traditional Balinese architecture with modern amenities, each guest room has a flat screen TV, day bed and large balconies.

The award-winning infinity pool is simply gorgeous. The resort’s Plantation Dining restaurant serves Balinese and international dishes. Outdoor massage service is available. The resort provides free shuttle service to restaurants and nightlife in Ubud.

There are three other locations in Bali: Alila Manggis, Alila Uluwatu and Alila Soori.

Looking to getaway from the busy Kuta and Seminyak? The peaceful Samaya Ubud offers private luxury villas, nestled amongst beautiful rice paddies, a river and lush surroundings with fabulous views.

Each villa is well-appointed to the highest standards. Facilities include an outdoor pool, gym, spa and massage service. Food-wise, Chef Lugra sets out to take you on a true culinary adventure and to leave you with everlasting memories of your stay.

The Samaya Ubud is located about a 10-minute walk to Ubud Palace and within 20 minutes’ walk to Ubud Market.
