8 Best All-inclusive Resorts in Bali for a Perfect Island Getaway

Bali has no trouble wooing the most jaded travelers. With its tempting mix of good food, sandy beaches, and captivating traditions, the destination tops plenty of lists and draws repeat visitors. While life is grand on the Indonesian island, the long flight from the U.S. can be exhausting and you'll definitely be ready to relax when you arrive.

The island is a relatively affordable vacation spot, but if you'd rather not waste time counting costs and worrying about the price of extras, consider one of Bali's all-inclusive resorts. Since the island is a well-known health and wellness destination (in addition to boasting excellent surf), you can also find themed retreat-style experiences.

The trick is to book a property that suits your needs. Some of Bali's all-inclusive resorts have lagoon-style pools, kids' clubs, and a private beach, while others are nestled in the lush rain forest, inviting travelers to recharge with daily yoga classes and spa treatments.

Covering more than 2,000 square miles, Bali offers a diverse landscape and culture, so it's worth moving around the island. Consider booking resorts that offer packages by the night rather than the week. If you're drawn to particular activities or scenery, plan longer stays where you can enjoy them. Start with our picks of the best all-inclusive resorts in Bali to create your dream vacation.

Club Med Bali

As a well-known brand in the all-inclusive space, Club Med has perfected the art of marrying luxurious lodging with inclusions that appeal to every type of traveler. At the Bali location, guests have unlimited access to the property's two restaurants, three bars, and a food truck. A handful of activities will keep the whole family entertained, including tennis, archery, and flying trapeze lessons.

The property sits just off the beach — which is great for surfing, paddleboarding, and lounging — and has several outdoor pools, a spa, and a renowned kids' club.

Spa Village Resort Tembok Bali

Imagine waking up in paradise, knowing that every day you'll be able to select a deluxe spa treatment from an extensive menu and enjoy a solid 50 minutes of peace. That's the reality at Spa Village Resort Tembok Bali, a property that takes the all-inclusive norm up a notch (or two).

While drinks are not included, all meals and airport transfers are. The resort offers a series of suites and villas fit for royalty — think private plunge pools and expansive terraces overlooking the ocean. Even actor Keira Knightley wished she could stay longer.

Samabe Bali Suites & Villas

From a cliff overlooking the ocean, Samabe Bali Suites & Villas beckons visitors looking for a five-star, all-inclusive experience. While a basic nightly rate is also available, it's worth choosing the all-inclusive option for perks like 24-hour butler service, unlimited food and drink, and daily activities that range from yoga to sailing.

Even the most basic accommodations at the all-suite and villa property have multiple rooms, and most have a private pool flanked by a balcony and daybed. For a one-of-a-kind experience, book a four-course dinner in the naturally formed cave on the hotel's private beach (endless ocean views included).

Meliá Bali

Meliá Bali has a well-deserved reputation as a family resort — with a top-notch kids' club, a lagoon-style pool, and easy access to the beach — but it's also a go-to for discerning foodies. The all-inclusive package features unlimited access to the resort's five restaurants, plus its 24-hour bar with nonalcoholic drinks like coffee, too. So you can nosh on Spanish tapas one night and sushi the next without leaving the property.

In addition to fantastic food and beachfront accommodations, you can tack flights onto the all-inclusive fare, making travel planning easier than ever.

Bali Tropic Resort & Spa

The four-star Bali Tropic Resort & Spa is perfectly appointed on a sliver of white sand just north of the iconic Nusa Dua Beach. In addition to an array of rooms and suites around a lush garden courtyard, the property has three restaurants, five bars, and a large pool with a swim-up bar.

Every all-inclusive booking covers buffet-style meals, high tea, and unlimited drinks. You'll also get access to a robust calendar of activities and entertainment, including mini golf, windsurfing, catamaran excursions, and snorkeling. Some exclusions such as the in-room minibar, hiring a babysitter, and motorized water sports are not included.

Fivelements Retreat

If you're looking to rid yourself of old habits and transform your life, there is no better place than Fivelements Retreat. The resort offers a series of all-inclusive retreats focused on themes like vitality-boosting culinary classes or traditional Balinese therapies.

Each retreat includes daily plant-based meals, plenty of spa treatments (think seaweed wraps, hydrotherapy, and massage), airport transfers, and accommodations in one of Fivelements' spacious, open-air suites. Plus, the resort partners with healers to provide visitors with perks like blessing ceremonies, wellness consultations, and sacred arts classes.

Grand Mirage Resort

You'll have your own slice of paradise at the Grand Mirage Resort, which has a private beach and a sprawling campus that includes 10 food and beverage venues, a spa, and an adults-only infinity pool (in addition to a large, lagoon-style pool). With both kid zones and private nooks ready for romance, families and couples alike can find their rhythm at the Grand Mirage.

By booking the Gold All-inclusive Package, you won't have to keep tabs on your bill or worry about that second cocktail. Every meal (in all eight restaurants), all drinks — even the in-room minibar — and any nonmotorized water sports are covered by the flat rate.

Zen Resort Bali

If you're looking to escape the stresses of daily life, head to Zen Resort Bali, a property with an unwavering dedication to wellness. Signature retreats, ranging from fitness to stress relief, feature a deluxe villa, private airport transfers, and all meals. You can expect activities like yoga, meditation, and spa treatments to be included, too. Depending on the retreat you select, you'll also have access to experts in fields like nutrition, detox, and emotional well-being.

For a truly unique experience, spend an hour in the resort's Shirin Yuko Forest, a grove of ancient trees dotted with mineral-rich soaking pools and treetop observation platforms overlooking neighboring rice paddies.
