When it comes to a romantic getaway in Bali, there’s no better way to spoil your loved one than secreting off to a dreamy luxury villa; where the two of you can enjoy a piece of private paradise to yourselves.

While we often think of villas in Bali as enormous mansions sized to entertain multiple guests, there are also plenty of smaller options available.
