Celebrity CHECK-INS

Follow in famous footsteps to these celeb-approved Balinese resorts

- PAUL EWART

After a gruelling film schedule or publicity tour, a celebrity needs to recharge, relax and re-energise. Some do it with spa treatments and meditation, some with yoga and nutrition, and others via good old-fashioned exercise outdoors. Ranging from wallet-friendly to the all-out luxurious, these four Balinese resorts have serious star quality.

SOORI BALI, TABANAN

Away from the hustle and bustle of Canggu and Kuta, the stunning Soori Bali is all about seclusion and serenity-making it perfect for visiting A-listers. Certainly, the Kardashian clan thought so when they visited here back in 2018. To celebrate Kim turning 38, the reality TV sisters packed their kids (and their hefty entourage) for a Bali break.

The boutique resort features 48 villas equipped with private infinity pools and equally beautiful ocean or rice paddy/mountain views, outdoor showers, and huge sunken bathtubs.

Kim and the clan aren't the only big-name high rollers who have sojourned in style here. Pop star Justin Bieber also checked in to enjoy the indulgent facilities, including the picture-perfect Soori Spa. The beautifully designed spa pairs good looks with a wide range of treatments, from knot-untangling traditional Balinese massage to warm stone therapy, all of which will help to scrub away any remaining traces of jet lag, sooribali.com
