Every need is taken care of: there's an award-winning spa and tennis courts, innumberable open-air restaurants — even a cookery school! Perfect for a lazy beach holiday for all the family.

• If you want a rejuvenating Balinese spa break, Ayana Resort & Spa should be your first port of call. It's a tropical haven of relaxation, its Balinese-style villas and European suites set amidst 222 acres of jungle, on the cliffs of Jimbaran Bay. Relax on the secluded beach, feel your troubles melt away with some award-winning thalassotherapy, or try a rainforest ritual or some Balinese healing... Simply dreamy!
• If you're tired of life, The Bale will heal you. Its tranquil, contemporary pavilions all come with private pools and walled courtyards, for a feeling of seclusion. The holistic spa treatments will melt away your bodily knots and spiritual frustrations, and the hotel will even drive you to the nearest beach, which is only 5-minutes away. If that doesn't seal the deal, then one of its restaurant will — Faces is considered to be one of Bali's best.

• Suarga Padang Padang is for lovers who want to dine under the stars. Perched on the cliff overlooking the ocean, guests can expect magical sunsets from the restaurant and lounge bar, then retire to their indulgent suites and pavilions, all created from handcrafted wood and bamboo, and fall asleep to the sound of the gently lapping waves in their plush four-posters. You'll forget what time it is here — and you won't care.

This tiny adults-only getaway has a touch of magic — ten prettily restored teak gladaks (traditional Balinese homes) set amidst leafy gardens.
