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.

I love how bright and airy this Caribbean-esque bedroom is. It’s so spacious, quaint, and it sports an amazing deck that overlooks the private pool.There is a “hidden river” from the bedroom deck above. Spot it if you can!

Following the same theme as the bedroom, this charming living room is ideal for you and you and a friend to spend some quality time sipping icy cool soda, and talking about anything under the sun.

This is one of the two bedrooms available in this private villa nestled in lush tropical garden. It is decorated tastefully and simply, making it pleasant and comforting for guests.
The villa sits right in front of the large turquoise pool that is ever so tranquil. This would be your private pool if the other bedroom isn’t occupied. I wouldn’t mind sharing it with another two guests though, since this pool isn’t very small.
The living room is spacious and leads directly out to the open-air terrace where you can dine at. A kitchenette is installed within the villa, so feel free to utilize it to whip up dishes using ingredients picked up from Adi shop, an in-house minimart owned by the owner of Villa Adi.

This is slightly over $100, but the extra $8 you’re paying will be totally worth it for that ultimate luxurious experience that your partner and you will remember for a long time.

This is luxury at a steal.

The pink lampshades and painting add a sweet, quirky touch to the otherwise plain room.
Who knew a bathroom could be so fun to be in? It is ultra romantic for couples to bask in each others’ company, soaking in a tub full of petals and sipping glasses of wine all at the same time.
