Gay Bali • Luxury Hotels

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

Pool suites have direct access to a semi-private pool and terrace. The resort has a great beachside location, close to restaurants and within easy reach of gay bar Bali Joe, Mixwell, F Bar and 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 scene. The Courtyard by Marriott Bali is just a short walk from the beach and the main gay bars. Free shuttle service to Seminyak Beach is provided.

A popular luxury Bali hotel on Travel Gay.

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 speakers, 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 is near the Batu Belig Beach. Gay bars & clubs in Seminyak can be reached by taxi in 15-30 minutes, depending on traffic.

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

The beach is just moments from your villa, or you can relax in one of the cabanas by the main pool. The hotel offers a choice of great 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.

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 dock, 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 has 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, outdoor terraces.

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

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, 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.

Hu’u Villas offers urban loft-style living space, set in a modern, tropical environment in Seminyak, close t0 restaurants, bars, shops, nightlife and the beach.

This boutique resort complex has the benefits of 5-star comforts with the exclusivity of a private villa. You get your own private pool and sun deck, plus an extra space for relaxation and socialising.

The 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom villas have interconnecting doors that are designed to provide flexible arrangement. A great choice whether you’re traveling on your own, with your boyfriend or a group.

The gay-popular Sea Vu Play restaurant and event venue is just steps away from the hotel.

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. There’s a Club Lounge for breakfast, cocktails, high tea, all-day drinks and a private pool. Children under 12 are not permitted.

This gay-friendly resort is located 20 km from the Seminyak gay scene, about 45 minutes by taxi.

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 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, 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 service.

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, large balconies. The award-winning infinity pool is simply gorgeous. The Plantation restaurant serves Balinese and international food. Outdoor massage service is available. Free shuttle service to restaurants and nightlife in Ubud is provided.
