The Pavilions Bali Hotel

If you’re seeking a calm, well-curated base in ever-popular Bali, The Pavilions should not be overlooked. Away from the busy southern hotspots but in the heart of laid-back Sanur town, shops, galleries and restaurants are on the doorstep. Once you step inside, though, it feels more private estate than hotel, providing ample space without excessive flash – boutique minded and personalised service are the calling cards. A charming main pool decorated with pretty parasols should be the main focus, but with all 25 villas – bar the garden villa – equipped with private pools, you’ll often find you have this area to enjoy all to yourself. The resort’s restaurant, Jahe, places value on locally sourced ingredients and vibrant Indonesian flavours and the spa brings to life traditional Balinese practices. Equal parts serene and romantic, it’s a great spot for honeymooners not looking to blow the budget. The best part? The white sand beach is just 300m away.
