5 most unique airBnB villas in Bali

Bali is home to some of the world’s most unique hotels. The island’s traditional architecture quickly became the inspiration for Airbnb owners who constantly enter the accommodation market with more and more spectacular rentals. 

Let’s take a look at 5 incredible Airbnbs that you cannot miss while planning your trip to Bali!

1. CAMAYA MAGICAL BAMBOO HOUSE- EAST OF BALI

Camaya is located in East Bali which is home to lush rice fields and some of the dreamiest volcano views. This is something that many people skip in their itineraries, but it’s one of the island’s highlights.

Camaya is a spacious bamboo house which can easily accommodate up to 4 people. Even though it’s open and you cannot really lock all doors even during the night, the surrounding area is so peaceful and relaxing that you do not need to be scared or worried about your belongings.

The entire place is surrounded by rice fields and palm tree forests, and the volcano shows up on the horizon just after the sun rises. When the sky is completely clear, you have the impression that the volcano is located just by. 

Camaya Magical Bamboo House is perfect for groups of friends, families, or even solo travellers who can spare some extra dollars on the accommodation. 

You can easily reach Camaya by car and scooter- it is well-advertised so there are no issues with locating the property from the road. 

Camaya Bamboo House, as the name indicates, is built from bamboo materials which is typical for Balinese architecture. The property perfectly blends in with the landscape and it’s unique design stands out in the accommodation search.

2.HIDEOUT BEEHIVE, EAST OF BALI

Hideaway Bali is one of the most unique and Instagram-worthy rental properties in Bali. With its incredible traditional architecture, riverside location, jungle surroundings and the most friendly hosts- this secluded bamboo house should be added to every adventurer’s list. 

Hideaway Beehive is a perfect place for adventurous couples, nature lovers, spiritual-minded people, travellers seeking unique places, but also artists and content creators who are after a dreamy escape to spark their creativity. 

Right after its opening, Hideout Beehive took the world of social media by storm with its unique hexagon-shaped building and the infinity pool nestled by the riverside. Considering the popularity of this airBnb, it’s worth booking at least 6 months in advance to ensure your chosen dates. 

Beehive is set in a small lush garden with a direct view to the running river. It feels totally secluded as it’s separated by a high fence which guarantees the highest level of privacy. In the garden there is a tiny bamboo swing, lounge area, a small rustic gazebo and the plunge pool overlooking the river. The riverside has direct access from the villa, and it’s very much recommended to take a dip in the clear waters of Gunung Agung. 

Hideout Beehive is a double-storied house. On the ground floor, there is a small, yet very functional kitchenette, living area, and bathroom with an outdoor shower. 

The master bedroom is located on the first floor and it has its own little terrace which can be accessed through the round-shaped glass door. The bed itself is round, spacious and filled with SUKU Home sheets made of bamboo rayon.

The plunge pool is a perfect place to cool down on a humid day, however, the water gets really cold! Luckily it can be heated which you need to request with the staff. 

3.ZEN HIDEAWAY #1

Approximately 30 minutes outside of Ubud, past vast lush rice terraces, countless temples and palm tree-lined roads, the village of Bongkasa is attracting the visitors with one very unique property- Zen Hideaway. 

Zen Hideaway, as the name indicates, has been designed for the purposes of meditation, yoga practices, relaxation and connection with nature.

The 150-year-old wooden house, partially open to views of the Ayung River Valley below, was inspired by the Japanese aesthetics. Thus, the interior is very rustic, simple and based on natural materials. 

Zen Hideaway is now composed of 3 properties, which on the booking sites are distinguished by number #1, #2, #3. Number one is the very original and it was an inspiration for two other homes. 

Without a doubt, this property has not only become famous due to its rustic design, but most importantly the swing which originated a huge trend. As you have probably noticed on social media, Bali swings have become one of the top things to try in Bali. Although you can visit many and pay for a few rounds, the swing at Zen hideaway offers much more private experiences, and is your own for the duration of your stay. 

The property is located on the hill overlooking the palm tree-covered valley, Ayung River, Volcano and nearby hotels. The area is very picturesque, and so are the views when you’re taking the swing!

4.ZEN HIDEAWAY #3

Zen Hideaway #3 is one of the rustic villas located with the famous japanese style complex located in the village of Bongkasa, just 30 minutes outside of Ubud. How is Zen Hideaway #3 different from 2 other houses? 

The two-floor house comprises a huge open-air living and a dining space, 1 master bedroom, and a net bed overlooking the jungle. Right below the net bed, there is also a swing bed which is open to the outside area. 

There is a small kitchenette, dining table, toilet and the outdoor shower. Although the amenities are very basic, their rustic and simple design makes the entire place very stylish and unique.
