We have reviewed the cheapest hotels in Bali to spend your loyalty points and miles on. Whether you are looking for spiritual harmony in Ubud or prefer the beach resorts of Seminyak and Nusa Dua, these are the best hotels where you can spend your credit card or hotel loyalty points.
It is worth mentioning that buying your Bali vacation on points is not always a good idea. Often, you are getting poor value for your loyalty points, particularly midweek and in low season, as hotel rates in Bali can be very cheap anyway. Hence, it often works out better to spend your cash and EARN your points in Bali and then spend them in expensive cities or more expensive hotels in Europe, America, and Australasia. For example, at the time of writing, InterContinental Bali could be booked for around $200 – $300 USD or a mix of IHG points and cash. I saw 20,000 points + $128.00 USD per night. Although I could not find purely reward-based nights available, this is not a great point valuation. Midweek in the low season, you can snag a room at this InterContinental for as little as $170 USD per room per night. Because of the low prices here, you’re usually better off paying for a room with cash than using your points here.
However, pick one of the cheapest point redemption hotels in Bali, and you can burn very few points for a comparatively luxurious stay.
I have compiled a list below containing the cheapest hotels in Bali where you can spend your loyalty points and miles on:
1. Hilton Garden Inn Bali Ngurah Rai
It’s hard to beat Hilton Garden Inn Bali Ngurah Rai by the Airport. This is your cheapest Hilton point redemption option at just 5,000 Honors Points per night, ideal for budget travelers who want to get the most nights for their points.

This hotel is part of the Marriott Bonvoy scheme and is a category five property costing 35,000 Bonvoy rewards points per night.
7. Conrad Bali
If you are a Hilton Honors Diamond member or have any brand loyalty to Hilton, you must try the Conrad Bali, located on the quieter side of the island of Bali, in the Nusa Dua resort area and away from the madness of trendy Seminyak. Take a taxi from the airport to the Conrad Bali Hotel for around $25 USD for a 20-minute taxi ride.
This hotel is simply stunning, from the grand, dark wood lobby with windows that swing open to the vista beyond to the lagoon pools and the huge variety of rooms, some with their own private pool. It is also surprisingly cheap both for cash and points.
The rooms to pick from here are the new Pool Villas, considered part of the Conrad Suites Wing, with its own separate entrance. The villas are hidden away between the reflections lounge and the executive lounge. Guests staying in these villas will have access to the executive lounge at the Conrad Bali. The private plunge pool is a highlight in this climate, although bear in mind this is a plunge pool, not an exercise pool, so if you want to exercise, you will need to swim laps in one of the main pools and lagoons. That said, it is magic and sits between the bedroom and your own private lawn in your garden.
Pool Villas at Conrad Bali get all the Conrad Suites benefits. If you are a Hilton Honors Diamond member, you also get these same benefits, the highlight being the Conrad Suites Club Lounge access.
If you are staying in a Suite or a Pool Villa or are a Hilton Honors Diamond member, you get the following benefits:
- Breakfast at RIN restaurant
- Afternoon tea at RIN restaurant
- Evening cocktails at Conrad Suites Club Lounge
- Complimentary internet access
- Complimentary unlimited laundry & dry cleaning
- 15% off food & beverage in restaurants and bar
- 15% off meeting room rental
- 25% off all Jiwa Therapeutic treatments
Compared to the Marriott Bonvoy St Regis hotel in Bali, the Pool Villas in Conrad Bali do not quite match up, but this is considered in the price and cost per enjoyment. The Conrad Bali is hard to beat and is definitely one of the best cheap points resorts in Nusa Dua. When you stay in a Conrad Pool Villa, you will wake up to the sound of birdsong and waves lapping on the shore. Paradise? It certainly comes close.
The Conrad Bali costs 35,000 Hilton Honours loyalty rewards per night for a standard room, 36,000 for a Premium Deluxe Lagoon room, and 46,000 for an Ocean Front. 56,000 points will get you lagoon access so that you can jump straight into the pool from your room, and 94,000 points will get you a pool villa, but as I outlined above, it may work out more cost-effective to pay for your stay rather than burn your points as hotels in Bali are comparatively cheap, particularly out of the main season.
8. Grand Hyatt Bali
The Grand Hyatt is located in Nusa Dua on the southernmost tip of Bali, with beaches on both sides of the resort. This hotel offers great value on paid stays, and if you book through our luxury travel concierge, we can get you some brilliant additional free benefits at this Hyatt for no extra cost.
If you are a Globalist World of Hyatt member, you can expect a nice upgrade at this hotel. While the rooms are typical Asian Hyatt, which is a good version of American Hyatt’s, the bathrooms at this Hyatt are truly stunning and massive, in the suites with masses of cream marble and a separate shower and tub.
The resort itself is edged by the most glorious golden sand, which enjoys stunning sunrises and has numerous pools. Some seem aimed at families, while others are more adult-orientated. One has a kid’s waterslide, which will attract your kids.
Club rooms have their own building situated by the Club lounge and with a private Club pool. The Grand Club is open-air and designed to look like a Balinese house with straw roofing, breakfast and cocktail hours, and all-day snacks and drinks.
The club lounge here is well worth the upgrade, even if you are booking on points and have to pay for it. This Grand Hyatt is a bargain At 12,000 points per night or around $200 USD per night, and although there is not much to do in the immediate vicinity (the same goes throughout Nusa Dua, you are somewhat stuck in your resort), this hotel is a magical place to stay.
9. Wyndham Tamansari Jivva Resort Bali
Wyndham Tamansari Jivva Resort Bali costs just 15,000 Wyndham Rewards Points per night and is located on the island’s east side with poolside lounge areas designed with your comfort in mind while sipping a cocktail.
10. The Ritz-Carlton Bali
While not cheap, the Ritz-Carlton Bali probably has the best hotel club lounge in Bali, so it is worth considering if you feel like splurging your points or just treating yourself. This is an incredible hotel (pictured above). Offering 313 spacious and sumptuously appointed suites and villas in an elegant tropical ambiance, The Ritz-Carlton Bali is a luxurious resort benefitting from a stunning clifftop and beachside setting. This hotel is incredible and one of the best Ritz-Carlton hotels in Asia. It is a true resort hotel and has a fabulous club lounge.

Guests can enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi, access to Ritz Kids (Kids Club), a daily schedule of recreational activities, and refreshments served every hour by the pool.
Experience the exquisite service at The Ritz-Carlton Club®, for an additional fee. This club lounge is great, with its own private pool and a staffed cocktail bar. Ritz-Carlton hotels don’t offer free club lounge access to Marriott Bonvoy elite members. You only get lounge access if you book a club room, or many Ritz-Carlton resorts offer discounted lounge fees to elite members. The Ritz-Carlton Bali costs 50,000 Marriott Bonvoy rewards per night and is a Category 6 property.
