The Best Accor Hotels in Bali, Ranked (2026)

If I could book one Accor hotel in Bali, it’s this one. It works for a couple and a family alike, which nothing else on this list does, and it’s right on the sand.

The pools are the reason. The main lagoon pool is over 70 metres long, with a swim-up bar. A second lagoon winds past the ground-floor Pool Access rooms, so you step off your terrace and swim to the main pool. That’s the room I’d book.

Every room, suite and villa was refurbished, finishing in 2022. Even the entry room is 48 square metres, with marble floors and a bath.

The Kids Villa takes kids up to 12, daily from 9 am to 6 pm, and the first 2 hours a day are free. Under-4s need a parent with them. The kids pool next door has a sandy bottom and a small slide.

It’s at the north end of the gated Nusa Dua area, about 25 minutes from the airport, 45 in traffic. The water is calm but tidal, so you swim in the sea at high tide. Bali Collection’s restaurants are about a 15-minute walk.

The catch: the standard rooms take three people, no exceptions. A family of four is booking a suite, a two-bedroom villa or two rooms.

Some ground-floor pool rooms smell damp, so I’d check yours and ask to move if it does. Mosquitoes come out around the lagoon at dusk. And a beach club on the hotel’s own stretch of sand plays music from the afternoon into the evening.

Raffles Bali is the one true luxury hotel in Accor’s Bali line-up, and it’s very good. There are just 32 villas on a hillside above Jimbaran Bay, and every one has its own pool.

The service is what I’d come for. You get a butler, and it’s about as personal as hotels in Bali get.

I’d plan my evenings around the food. The Writers Bar sits at the top of the hill, and it’s where I’d be for sunset cocktails. The Secret Cave takes one couple a night, for a private candlelit dinner, so book it early. Since July 2026, the beach restaurant has been cooking Peruvian.

It’s also the easiest splurge in Bali to get to, about 20 minutes from the airport, 40 in traffic.

The catch: the view has a runway in it. The resort looks across the bay at the airport, so you’ll watch planes take off from your villa, and in some villas you’ll hear them. The Hilltop villas sit highest, with more privacy and less of the bay. Otherwise, ask for a villa angled away from the runway.

As of October 2026, something is being built on the land next door, and you can hear it during the day.

The beach isn’t one for swimming either. The waves are rough, so you use the lap pool by the sand. There’s no kids club, you can’t walk out for dinner, and the hillside brings mosquitoes, so pack repellent.

I’d book it as a couple, for a honeymoon or a big anniversary.

Buahan is a Banyan Tree hotel, not an Accor brand, but you book it through Accor. I’m glad it’s on the list, because it’s the most different hotel I know of in Bali.

The 16 villas have no walls and no doors. Each one is an open-air balé on a jungle hillside above the Ayung River, with a bed, a copper bathtub and your own pool. Nothing sits between you and the valley. You fall asleep to the river and wake up already in the view.

It feels deeply Balinese. A Balinese architect designed it, almost all the staff are local, and dinner is a set menu, mostly plant-based, that changes every night.

The entry Rainforest balé is lovely. If you can stretch, I’d book a Seven Peaks or Above the Waterfall balé, which add a free minibar, a host of your own and a return shuttle into Ubud.

It’s adults-only, so this one is for couples.

The catch: open-air means open-air. You hear every downpour, and the birds start at 5 am. In the wet season, roughly November to March, the mosquitoes are worse and rain can blow in and dampen the bedding. I’d only book it between May and October.

From November 2026 to early March 2027, part of the resort is being modernised and the lift down the hillside is out. Expect a lot of steps and some daytime noise. It’s remote too, about 40 minutes from central Ubud and 2 hours from the airport.

My Ubud luxury guide puts it up against Mandapa and the Four Seasons.

With two kids under 12, this is the Accor I’d book. It’s a big family resort for mid-range money, a short walk from Jimbaran Bay’s seafood dinners on the sand.

The room is the reason. The Family Duplex gives parents a king bedroom downstairs and the kids their own room upstairs. Very few Bali hotels at this price do that, and it’s why I’d pick the Mövenpick over the Sofitel for a family of four.

The pool area is huge, with swim-up hammocks and a separate kids pool. The pirate-themed kids club takes kids from age 4.

There’s a shopping and dining village right next door, so you’re not stuck eating at the hotel every night. It’s about 20 minutes from the airport, 40 in traffic, which helps after the late flights from Australia.

The catch: it isn’t on the beach. The sand is about 3 minutes’ walk away, along walkways, and there are buggies if you’d rather ride.

The service and upkeep are uneven too. Rooms aren’t always ready at check-in time, and some are starting to look worn.

The Pullman is the sensible base for Legian. It’s a 5-star hotel that costs mid-range money.

The pool I’d be in is up on the third floor. It’s an adults-only infinity pool facing west over the ocean, with a bar, and I’d get there by about 4:30 pm for a sunset seat. Down in the garden there’s a lagoon pool and a kids pool.

You can walk to Legian’s restaurants and bars. It’s about 15 minutes from the airport, 30 in traffic.

For a family of four, the Exclusive Family Room has a king and a futon. The Junior Family Suite has a king and two singles.

The catch: the rooms are dated, and some ground-floor rooms smell damp. I think it’s overdue a refurbishment.

The Ocean View rooms face busy Jalan Melasti, and they’re the noisiest. I’d book a garden-view room on a high floor. The beach is across that same road, and it’s a surf beach, so swim between the flags and not with toddlers.
