Where to stay in Bali: Unique resorts in Canggu, Ubud, and Uluwatu for your short getaway from Singapore
Suite dreams, beaches
Everyone loves a vacation in Bali, her friendly people, the picturesque beaches, the spectacular grub, and not to mention, the stunning villas that are almost a dime in a dozen.
But here's the thing: The fatigue of familiarity starts settling in, where you start feeling like you need a little injection of novelty into your trip. Instead of shacking it up in the same old spacious pad in Seminyak for the nth time and feeling blissfully uninspired, switch things up by staying at some of the most unique boutique resorts the island has to offer. Some might look like that ideal home you never got around to redecorating, and others might look otherworldly. Either way, this is what we call living large when abroad.
The Clubhouse at Ulu
Talk about stunning views; the newly launched resort perched atop the Uluwatu Cliffs two hundred feet above the ocean would make your heart quiver with an unbridled excitement. It consists of seven suites, each inspired by the legendary surf breaks of Indonesia and luxuriously furnished with their own unique personalities. Guests will also have access to the premier beach club, Ulu Cliffhouse with its 25-metre infinity pool and world-class dining experiences. It truly lives up to its tagline of being "a decadent hideaway in the heart of Uluwatu".

Mandala. The House
There's no actual limit with Mandala — especially when the typical villa is blown out of proportion, in a good way. The trailblazing brand sparks a portfolio of privately owned, design-fluid residences that are either available for sale or a brief stay. Specifically, Mandala. The House, is a five-bedroom super-luxury villa located near the surf breaks of Canggu. The 6,500 sqft mansion boasts of two infinity pools that overlook the surrounding rice paddy fields, a fully-equipped gym, and a home theatre. If five rooms aren't enough, their latest property, Mandala. The Home is also open for bookings.

Morabito Art Cliff
Yet another breathtaking cliff property, but unlike The Clubhouse, this one comes with an international twist. Each loft is lavishly furnished in the style of various dream holiday destinations ranging from the beautiful minimalistic style of Santorini to the warm opulence of Miami; and every one of them blessed with scenic ocean views.

Sharma Springs Bamboo House
Nestled along the Ayung river valley, this bamboo structure is an engineering marvel and a love letter to eco-living and sustainability — even TED talks agrees. Designed by IBUKU, it is currently the tallest bamboo structure in Bali, standing at six storeys tall, and it sports an impossibly unique flair. With four bedrooms, a guestroom, TV lounge and astounding views of the surrounding greenery, this is a one-of-a-kind luxury eco-structure that you shouldn't miss out on.

Bambu Indah Hotel
Prepare to travel back in time as you step into this idyllic little pocket dimension away from the busting Ubud area nearby. Prepare to be enchanted by this eco-village strewn with restored antique Javanese bridal houses and unique bamboo structures like their romantic Moon House, gently cloaked in tranquillity from the lush surrounding nature. All the houses are equipped with modern day necessities like private bathrooms, air-conditioning, and WiFi.
