Bali Accommodations for 40+ Travellers
When planning a trip to Bali, one of the first things mature travellers think about is where to stay. And with so many choices across the island — from luxury beachfront resorts to quiet jungle retreats — the options for accommodation in Bali can feel endless.
For many, the search for the right place to stay begins with Google, typing in “Bali accommodation” or even “Bali island accommodation.” With so many options, how do you find the one that suits you best?
In our experience, mature travellers look for a balance of comfort, culture, and peace. With this in mind, here are our recommendations for the Best Bali Island Accommodations for Adults:
Seeking 5-Star Luxury? Discover Southern Bali's Top Beach Resorts:
Five-star pampering, famous in Nusa Dua and Seminyak
The Apurva Kempinski Bali (Nusa Dua)

Grand Hyatt Bali (Nusa Dua)

These are the kinds of properties that come up often when travellers search for “best accom Bali” or simply “accom Bali.”
Need an affordable Guest House or Boutique Hotel?
Economical and charming stays are often found in Sanur and Ubud

How about Long-Stay Co-Living & Co-Working Spaces?
Accommodations providing community workspaces for digital nomads are located throughout the island

What is Co-Living & Co-Working in Bali?
These are generally youth-oriented accommodations designed for “digital nomads” who work online. They provide rooms (or dorms) plus shared workspaces, kitchens, and social areas. They’re an economical alternative to hotels and often located near nightlife hubs to attract their target crowd.
Whilst perfect for the 20-30 crowd, they would only suit a very “young-at-heart” 40+ traveller.
Now, for something truly age-appropriate, our stand-out choice for Mature Travellers . . . |
For something truly age-appropriate, why not consider a Long-Stay Co-Living Villa for Mature Travellers?
Luxurious Shared Villas with 3-6 private suites, intentionally created for 40+ travellers, are ideal accommodation for those wanting to connect with like-minded adults
Gilded Palms Co-Living Residence (Payangan, just north of Ubud)
Although accommodations of this kind are popular in many other countries, Gilded Palms is the ONLY Long-stay accommodation in Bali which is designed exclusively for mature adults.
What is Gilded Palms?
Unlike youth hostels or digital nomad hubs, Gilded Palms is a luxurious shared villa with just four elegant suites. It’s intentionally created for 40+ travellers who want meaningful connection without chaos: no children, no parties — just peace, community, and grown-up conversation.
Nestled in a quiet village surrounded by rice terraces and waterfalls, Gilded Palms offers mature travellers privacy when they want it and companionship when they choose it. Guests can stay for one month to one year, living independently but never alone.
A one-month stay costs less than a week at most mid-range hotels — and less than a single night at Bali’s luxury resorts — whilst offering the same elegance and a higher level of personal service.
That’s why Gilded Palms is often called the “hidden gem of accommodation in Bali” for mature travellers
