With the year coming to an end, I can only imagine how much you’ve been dreaming of a getaway from Singapore. But going budget doesn’t mean you have to compromise on the quality of your holiday.
For those who’ve been shelving the idea of visiting Bali because “it’s expensive” compared to alternative destinations like Krabi, these 20 amazing pool villas in exotic Bali may make you change your mind. It’s also amazing to know how some of these are private villas which you can have all to yourself (and your friends!).
Also, if the room is shared, each person will pay only half. If you’re going with a group of friends these pool villas may cost you under $25 a night! Imagine that!
Note: The prices listed here are per room and in SGD. SGD$1 = ~US$0.80.
You don’t see a four-poster bed often in Singapore, let alone get the chance to sleep in one. Clean and bright with air-conditioning and subtle Balinese touches, the room is more than alluring.
This is one of the most unique pools I’ve come across. The sunbeds are in the pool itself, allowing you to slip into the cooling waters in a jiffy after you’re done soaking up the sun. If that’s not sufficient to entice you, this beautiful pool is all yours. Plus, it’s set in the middle of a picturesque garden complete with a shady gazebo.
