The Most Accessible Hotels to Book in Bali

Stay in the heart of Kuta at this accessible Bali beach resort, with wheelchair access throughout the complex, which is set in 6ha (15 acres) of tropical gardens leading down to the sea. Accessible rooms come with grab rails and shower seats; there’s also a lift to the upper floors. Expect contemporary Balinese furnishings and your own terrace or balcony, as well as a sparkling free-form pool with sunken bar. If you’re on a couples-only break, book a romantic dining experience by the ocean.

Five rooms on the ground floor of this classy Bali hotel have been modified for guests with accessibility requirements. Each one has wide doors and wheel-in bathroom access, complete with handrails, accessible light switches and non-slip tiles. While the white sands of Legian Beach lie just a short skip from the hotel, the huge flower-filled gardens are also made for relaxing, with a split-level pool. Don’t miss the hotel’s eco-conscious tree-planting programme, cooking classes and Balinese treatments at Usadha Spa.

It’ll feel like you’ve been transported to a Balinese palace when you arrive at Nusa Dua Beach Hotel.

The adjoining beach also has some of the best boardwalk paths for wheelchairs in Bali. Dine in the bamboo, thatched-roof restaurant Tamarind, which overlooks the Indian Ocean.

Seminyak is Bali’s classiest neighbourhood, and the architect-designed Alila beachfront resort fits right in, with its chic buildings and wall plants. Discover infinity pools, a spa and even a temple on-site, and stay in the deluxe garden suite, which is wheelchair accessible and has a large balcony with sliding doors that showcase killer views. Book your spot at the Seasalt restaurant, inspired by the island’s ancient salt production methods, where you can dine on seafood by the ocean.

Come to Padma Resort Legian for an accessible five-star Bali holiday. The Balinese beach accommodation covers almost seven hectares of manicured gardens, speckled with water features, art and lagoon pools with swim-up bars.

If you do venture out, Tanjung Beach is just two minutes away, along with the resort’s spa and Middle Eastern Allspice restaurant.

The Trans, located smack in the centre of Seminyak, is one of Bali’s trendiest resorts. While it’s 10 minutes to the nearest beach, the hotel has its own pool with a beachfront made from soft white sands imported from Australia. Guest rooms, suites and villas are wheelchair accessible, as are resort paths and bathrooms. The 18th Rooftop Bar is a highlight, where you can have tapas and signature cocktails while admiring views of Seminyak; plus The Club Lounge’s elegant afternoon tea isn’t bad either.

Anvaya means “connection” in Sanskrit and, true to its name, the resort is loved for its incredible staff who treat guests like family.
