Bali — the perfect place for a seaside getaway, where the combination of tropical nature and pristine beaches creates a unique atmosphere. Here, both lovers of active rest and surfing, as well as fans of mountain rice terraces will find something for themselves. I have compiled a selection of the five best budget hotels on different beaches of Bali. Mainly, this selection includes 4* hotels.

Griya Santrian, a Beach Resort — is an elegant resort on the white sands of Sanur Beach. I liked the abundance of additional services at this hotel, the gym with a garden view, and the beautiful green area.
Sanur is one of the best swimming beaches in Bali. The hotel is perfect for a relaxing holiday with an ocean view, the area smoothly transitions to the beach, and it can be reached in a couple of minutes. The location is also appreciated by those who plan to visit other islands: the pier is nearby.
The hotel features three outdoor pools and a spa center with a wide range of services. At the spa, you can indulge in treatments using natural fruit and flower extracts. The resort also organizes yoga classes, biking tours, and beach barbecues.
Spacious resort rooms are flooded with natural light and elegantly decorated. All rooms have balconies with views of the garden and pool; some rooms also have a bathtub.
At the Wantilan restaurant, Asian and Western cuisine is served with live music and a view of the beach, while the The Griya Beach Corner restaurant offers Italian and Japanese cuisine.

Puri Saron Hotel Seminyak — is a cozy hotel on Seminyak beach. It caught my attention due to the spacious rooms, location, and quality of spa services.
The hotel pool overlooks the golden sands of Seminyak Beach, so the walk to the beach takes just a couple of minutes. It's a calm, gentle beach, but there are waves too. It’s suitable for beginner surfers and swimming. There are many restaurants and beach cafes nearby. The Legian beach, also popular among surfers, is not far away.
By the way, at the hotel you can get information about tours and book day trips.
This hotel has a spa center and an outdoor pool with a beautiful terrace. The comfortable rooms are decorated in a traditional elegant Indonesian style. I particularly liked the floor-to-ceiling windows and spacious balconies.
The rooms are light, spacious, and offer views of the pool, garden, and sea. Luxurious bathrooms are equipped with bathtubs.
You can enjoy dishes from international and Indonesian cuisine at the Mawar Saron restaurant or order room service.
Good hotel for the money, quite budget-friendly for its location and level of service. Suitable for young couples or groups of friends, especially for those who enjoy active recreation.
Bombora Medewi Wavelodge
- Distance from city center:
- 2.7 km
- Bar / Lounge
- Massage
- Massage / Beauty Centre
- Free Wi-Fi
- Garden
- WiFi
- Restaurant
The boutique Bombora Medewi impressed me with its attention to detail, stylish interior, and thoughtful little things: for example, the bathrobes here match the color of the napkins in the restaurant and the umbrellas on the beach. There are only 12 rooms here, so you can feel a pleasant sense of seclusion.
The hotel is located on Medevi Beach, popular among surfers. Medevi has long and consistent waves, perfect for longboard surfing, and suitable for beginners as well. Some beaches in Bali have waves that are too steep, but here everyone can enjoy the ride calmly. Moreover, the beach is not very crowded, making it a rather peaceful spot. Those who do not enjoy riding the waves can watch the athletes from the pool area.
This hotel has two pools, one of which is a saltwater pool where you can relax and enjoy the atmosphere. I recently learned that saltwater pools are less harmful to the skin, hair, and eyes than chlorinated ones, which is why more and more hotels are offering them.
Spacious sunny terraces offer a beautiful view of the sea and hills, and guests can relax in the shade in a hammock.
The rooms are equipped with a private terrace and bathroom. There is a restaurant on the premises with a variety of dishes, and you can also rent a bike to explore the surroundings.
I love these small hotels where you feel the attention given to every guest and every detail. This is a great option for a vacation on the western coast of Bali, there is a beautiful beach for surfing and quality massage. Also, each room here has a yoga mat! Where else to start practicing yoga, if not in Bali?
Bali Taman Lovina Resort & Spa
- Distance from city center:
- 6.9 km
- Bar / Lounge
- Massage
- Massage / Beauty Centre
- Tennis Courts
- Bicycle Rental
- Karaoke
- Free Wi-Fi
Bali Taman Lovina Resort & Spa — a coastal resort in the city of Tukadmungga. The perfect place for water sports enthusiasts, diving, and snorkeling.
On the resort grounds, there is an outdoor pool with loungers and direct access to Lovina Beach, one of the most popular in the northern part of the island. This beach is covered with black volcanic sand, the waves here are small, making it suitable for families and swimming. Various sports activities are also available here, including fishing, diving, and snorkeling. However, according to reviews, the beach can sometimes be a bit dirty.
Each room has its own balcony, a hairdryer, and an iron. For relaxation and entertainment, the hotel offers a tennis court, bicycle rental, and the Teratai spa, where you can enjoy a massage or other treatments.
The Tasbih restaurant delights guests with dishes from Eastern, Balinese, and European cuisine with an ocean view.
The hotel consists of several scattered villas throughout the grounds, creating a private atmosphere in the rooms. A good choice for a getaway with family or a loved one.
I liked most of the hotels in this selection. Bali is a very interesting and diverse island, so when you come here, it's best not to stay at just one beach or in one city. I recommend visiting as many places as possible, experiencing both the sea and the mountains! So for my trip, I would choose three hotels right away: Bombora Medewi Wavelodge, Sagara Candidasa, and Griya Santrian a Beach Resort.

Sagara Candidasa — is a modern hotel located just a few steps from Candidasa beach. I chose this place as suitable for a peaceful sea getaway. The hotel has beautiful grounds and a magnificent view of the waves, especially from the pool and restaurant area.
Sagara Candidasa is located right on the beach of Candidasa. It is a calm, not too crowded beach, slightly rocky and coral, with a beautiful view of the hills.
Another beach, Senggigi, is located 3 kilometers from the hotel, and for variety, I recommend visiting both.
The hotel features an outdoor pool, garden, and terrace, as well as a restaurant serving American cuisine and a bar. Guests have access to free private parking and 24-hour room service.
Rooms at Sagara Candidasa are equipped with air conditioning and a safe. Some have balconies with views of the garden. It is very important for me to have a balcony while on vacation, especially if it’s a seaside holiday – it’s so pleasant to sit in comfortable chairs there. It's also practical for drying all your belongings.
In the hotel, a breakfast is served daily from the menu for guests.
Stylish comfortable hotel, where you feel like a part of nature: this is facilitated by floor-to-ceiling windows and open balconies overlooking the garden, wooden walls, and furniture. Even while staying in the room, you feel surrounded by greenery and vegetation. A nice place for a leisurely rest.
