Top Luxury Bali Beachfront Villas

Tropical island living is all about sun, sea and sand, and there’s no better place to take it all in than at your own private beachfront villa. Sure, you could stay at a hotel next to the sea, but then you’d have to share that swathe of sand with other travellers and the ubiquitous vendors that ply the beaches. For those who prefer to soak up the sun and swim in the sea with nary a soul to bother you, these are Bali’s best luxury beachfront villas.
