The hype
The service is telepathic and the grounds are immaculate, but the style is 'classic luxury' that some find timeless and others find slightly dated.
The St. Regis Bali Resort - Chse Certified
$550-950/ Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You want the absolute peak of Balinese hospitality where a butler unpacks your bags and the breakfast buffet includes lobster omelets and foie gras.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- Legendary 24-hour butler service that actually delivers (coffee on demand, packing/unpacking)
- The Boneka breakfast buffet is widely considered the best in Bali
- Massive saltwater lagoon pool that some villas open directly onto
Kurzfassung: It's an opulent, manicured bubble that feels nothing like the 'real' Bali, but that's exactly why you're paying $600 a night.
Bewertet von @Luxurytravelpassport: I stayed in this villa for a romantic getaway and it was unforgettable. The private pool is way bigger in person, and the canopy bed is the most comfortable thing I've ever slept on. It truly felt like our own private sanctuary.

FAQ & Geheimtipps
Alles, was Sie vor der Buchung wirklich wissen möchten.
Is the breakfast really worth the hype?
Yes. It's not just a buffet; it's an à la carte feast with wagyu steak and eggs, lobster omelets, and sashimi included.
Is the beach swimmable?
Yes, Geger Beach in front of the hotel is one of the best swimming spots in Bali—calm, clean, and free of strong currents.
Do I need to tip the butler?
It's not mandatory as a 21% tax/service charge is added to everything, but a tip for exceptional personal service is common.
Is it kid-friendly?
Surprisingly yes. While it feels grown-up, they have a dedicated kids pool and the 'Children's Learning Center' offers music and art classes.
Can I walk to other restaurants?
Not really. You're in a gated complex. You can take a quick taxi to Bali Collection or nearby warungs, but it's not a walking neighborhood.
Is there a resort fee?
No daily resort fee, but expect a 21% government tax and service charge on top of all rates and food/drink prices.

The 'Fire Dance' ritual happens every evening at sunset at the Grand Staircase—grab a spot early.

You can order the famous 'Bali Mary' (local twist on Bloody Mary) at breakfast; it's included.
5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The 'saltwater lagoon' is huge (3,668 sqm) but can feel a bit like a fishbowl if you're in a Lagoon Villa with people swimming past your terrace.
💡Prices for wine and spirits are astronomical due to Indonesian alcohol tax—expect to pay $150+ for a basic bottle of champagne.
💡The decor is heavy on dark wood and marble—if you want modern minimalist, this will feel dated to you.
💡You might get a 'floating breakfast' in your private pool, but the food gets cold fast—it's mostly for the photo op.
💡The spa's 'Aqua Vitale' pool is a hidden hydrotherapy gem that's often empty.
