What makes Bali’s luxury beach resorts so appealing? Is it the impeccable service, world-class architectural design, or the elegant rooms with beds fit for royalty and exquisite toiletries? The answer is simple. Of course, it’s the stunning pool that truly lets you know you’re in a luxurious paradise.
And the best part? You don’t even have to stay there to enjoy the celebrity lifestyle at an extravagant 5-star resort pool. If you don’t have the budget or desire to book a stay at such exclusive places, you can take advantage of a “day pass.” Many resorts offer day passes for non-staying guests, giving access to the pool and often to other amenities and services. If you’ve been dreaming of a taste of luxury and sophistication at Bali’s finest beach resorts or just want to spend a fun and relaxing day with the whole family, check out our list of the best hotels with day passes.
