Where Celebrities Vacation in Bali - Top 10 Hotels

George Clooney, Mick Jagger, Demi Moore, Richard Gere, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Madonna... The list of Bali fans can go on and on: which hotels do celebrities choose?

It is believed that the island became popular relatively recently, but few people know that in the 30s of the 20th century, the resort of Sanur was already considered a mecca for European artists who came to Bali in search of inspiration. They rented villas and, inspired by nature and the atmosphere, created their masterpieces. One of them, the famous master of Latin American origin Antonio Blanco, arrived in Bali in 1952 and stayed here forever. Even Michael Jackson stayed in his house.

Bali is rightfully considered one of the most magnificent islands in the world. Celebrities love it primarily for its privacy. If you want to remain incognito, no one will guess about your presence on the island. For example, the locals found out that Cristiano Ronaldo spent his vacation in Bali after he left the island. You never know, maybe during your visit you even live next to a superstar!
