All-inclusive resort guide
Best all-inclusive resorts in Bali
Bali barely does all-inclusive. Unlike the Caribbean, where the model is the default, Bali has only a handful of resorts with a genuine all-inclusive product, and nearly all of them sit in the Nusa Dua enclave. Most Bali resorts sell room-only or breakfast-included rates, and many "all-inclusive" listings elsewhere on the island are just a meal plan with a new name. Here are the four that genuinely qualify, with what is actually included at each.
The honest picture
Two of the four below build all-inclusive into the rate: Club Med Bali and Paradisus by Melia Bali. The other two, Grand Hyatt Bali and Ayodya Resort Bali, sell it as an add-on on top of the room rate, which changes the maths. Every one of them has fine print: premium drinks, spa treatments, and excursions are extra everywhere, and some restaurants or experiences are excluded. Bali's food outside the resorts is also very cheap, so all-inclusive only wins if you actually eat and drink at the resort most of the time. The comparison at the bottom of this page runs the numbers for a five-night stay.
What is actually included
| Resort | Type | Meals | Drinks | Activities and extras |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Club Med Bali | True all-inclusive, built into the rate | Breakfast, lunch, dinner at the resort restaurants | Free-flow beer, wine, spirits, soft drinks | 32 included activities including a flying trapeze; kids clubs closed Jul 2026 to May 2027 |
| Paradisus by Melia Bali | Default all-inclusive, built into the rate | Daily buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner across the restaurants | Free-flow drinks | Destination Inclusive cultural program; The Reserve adults-only section |
| Grand Hyatt Bali | Optional add-on to the room rate | Free-flow breakfast, lunch, dinner, plus snacks | Free-flow beer, wine, cocktails, spirits, tea, coffee, milkshakes | Two daily hours at Oceania Kids Club (ages 3 to 12), resort activities, photoshoots |
| Ayodya Resort Bali | Optional add-on to the room rate | All-day dining across restaurants, beach club, cafe, and bar | Free-flow drinks | Beach club access; minimum 3-night stay for the package |
The four resorts
Club Med Bali
The original all-inclusive resort on the island: the first resort to open in the Nusa Dua enclave, back in 1984, and still the only one built entirely around the model. The 393-room beachfront resort includes all meals, free-flow drinks, and 32 activities, including Club Med's signature flying trapeze, across three restaurants, with direct access to one of Bali's calmest stretches of sand. Low-season rates start around $200 a night; suites run to about $480. No freely licensed photo of Club Med Bali exists on Wikimedia Commons, so we show no photo here rather than use a stand-in.
Best for: families and couples who want everything bundled into one price with no decisions left.
Read reviews on Google →Check before you book (November 2026): Club Med Bali's kids clubs are closed from 1 July 2026 to 28 May 2027, the Agung main restaurant is temporarily closed for enhancement works (meals are served at The Deck and the Makan on Wheels food truck), and the resort welcomes guests aged 12 and over only during that period. If you are booking a family trip before June 2027, get written confirmation of what will be operating on your dates.

Paradisus by Melia Bali
The newest true all-inclusive on the island, opened in February 2026 in the former Melia Bali buildings, with nearly 500 rooms and eight bars and restaurants. All-inclusive is the default rate, not an add-on: daily buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner across the restaurants, free-flow drinks, a takeaway picnic box on request, and a Destination Inclusive cultural program. The Reserve is an adults-only section with its own pool, restaurant, bar, and a closed-off stretch of beach. Spa treatments get a 20 percent discount under the package rather than being included.
Best for: couples who want the newest all-inclusive product with an adults-only wing.
Read reviews on Google →Grand Hyatt Bali
A 636-room five-star resort across 41 acres of water-palace gardens, lagoons, and waterfalls, with five swimming pools, two waterslides, and an award-winning spa. The all-inclusive package is an add-on rather than the default rate: free-flow breakfast, lunch, and dinner plus free-flow drinks across the venues, two daily hours at the Oceania Kids Club for children aged 3 to 12, resort activities, and resort photoshoots. Package deals bundle five nights all-inclusive from about $1,370. Premium drinks, in-room dining, and the teppanyaki experience are excluded. No freely licensed photo of Grand Hyatt Bali exists on Wikimedia Commons.
Best for: families who want the strongest big-resort all-inclusive add-on in Nusa Dua.

Ayodya Resort Bali
A five-star beachfront resort designed as a Balinese water palace on a Ramayana theme, with tropical gardens, four restaurants, and a spa. The all-inclusive package is an add-on booked through the reservations team: unlimited access to the restaurants, beach club, cafe, and bar, at IDR 1,450,000 per adult per night and IDR 725,000 per child, plus 21 percent tax and service, with a 3-night minimum stay (hotel's own deals page, November 2026). Room-only rates are the lowest on this page, which makes the combined price competitive for couples.
Best for: couples who want the cheapest route into a full all-inclusive stay in Nusa Dua.
Read reviews on Google →Renovation note (November 2026): Ayodya's North Building is under renovation daily from 10am to 5pm, with works expected to continue until 30 June 2027. Half the building is closed until 9 January, and from 10 January the entire North Wing closes, with guests staying in the South Wing. Daytime noise may be heard; all other resort facilities remain open.
All-inclusive vs pay-as-you-go: five nights for two
The honest comparison is not room vs room, it is total spend. A room-only rate looks cheaper until every meal, drink, and activity is added. These are approximate five-night totals for two adults in low season, using the rates on this page. The resort dining figure uses Ayodya's all-inclusive add-on, about $170 a night for two adults, as the market price of unlimited resort food and drinks.
| Option | 5 nights, two adults | What is covered |
|---|---|---|
| Club Med Bali, all-inclusive | About $1,000 | Room, all meals, free-flow drinks, 32 activities. Nothing else to buy except spa and excursions. |
| Ayodya room plus all-inclusive add-on | About $1,450 | Room at about $120 a night plus the add-on at about $170 a night for two adults. |
| Conrad Bali room-only, eating out | About $1,150 | Room at about $190 a night plus about $40 a day for two eating at warungs and cafes outside the resort. |
| Conrad Bali room-only, eating at the resort | About $1,800 or more | Room at about $190 a night plus resort restaurant meals and drinks, which run several times warung prices. |
The verdict: all-inclusive wins if you eat and drink at the resort most of the time, and loses if you are happy eating at warungs and cafes outside the enclave, where a meal costs a few dollars. A family that eats three resort meals a day will save real money going all-inclusive. A couple that plans to explore Bali's restaurants will not.

Prices are approximate nightly rates found on booking sites and guides, and vary by season, room type, and availability. Many Bali rates add about 21 percent tax and service. The Bali tourist levy (IDR 150,000, about $10 per person, once per trip) applies to all visitors. All-inclusive inclusions change with season and availability: always confirm the current rate and what is included before you book.
