Review: Alaya Dedaun Kuta – Bali’s Luxurious Pool Villa Hotel

Hello.🖐️🖐️ I’m about to travel to Bali soon. I decided to stay in the Kuta area and did a lot of research because I didn’t want to stay far away from the airport when I landed in Bali. Being a resort paradise, Bali has a huge variety of hotels and resorts to choose from, but my first choice is Alaya Dedaun Kuta, a small luxury hotel with only 12 pool villas, and even the most basic one-bedroom pool villa is really big at around 250 square meters, which makes it a great honeymoon hotel because it’s a great value for money. Let me tell you more about it.


About Alaya Dedaun Kuta

Alaya Dedaun Kuta is a branded property of Alaya Hotels & Resorts, a chain of luxury boutique hotels in Bali, Indonesia that includes Alaya Dedaun Kuta, which we’re featuring today, Alaya Resort Ubud, Alaya Private Estate, and ARNA Suites and Ocean Lounge.

First, let’s talk about the location: it’s about a 20-minute drive from Bali’s airport. Bali is a very busy place, so we often stay in Kuta on the day of arrival or the day before departure. It’s also close to the airport, so if you’re looking for a pool villa hotel near the airport, this is a great option👍 Especially if you’re honeymooning in Bali after your wedding, you’ll be less tired if you stay in an area close to the airport.

Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted with a welcome drink at reception. As it is a small luxury hotel with only 12 pool villas, you can check in and out in relative privacy as there are no crowds 👍 Also, compared to larger resorts, the staff is more attentive to guests. I contacted the staff in advance and they were really nice : )

Kuta is a bustling, busy city center, but once inside the resort, it’s lushly landscaped and relaxing in a very Balinese way👍 There’s no communal pool as you’d expect at a typical resort, but that’s not a problem as all of the rooms are pool villas and each villa has a large outdoor area with tropical gardens and a private pool.

You can find more information and make reservations on Alaya’s official website, and there are some packages that include massage services for stays of 4 nights or more, so it’s worth checking out before booking.

One Bedroom Pool Villa 🌺

The One-Bedroom Pool Villa is perfect for couples or small groups of travelers looking for a special getaway. It’s a luxurious space designed with personal relaxation and tropical indulgence at the forefront. It’s generously sized at 250 square meters and features a warm, cozy Balinese charm with artisanal and stylish interiors👍 The spacious bedroom has a luxurious canopy bed and a private bathroom with separate shower and bathtub for maximum comfort.

The outdoor space is also really nice, with tropical gardens that blend in with nature, and a full-size private pool for relaxing and taking a dip. Next to the pool, there’s an outdoor leisure area, perfect for soaking up the sun or reading a book. The open-style kitchen is perfect for preparing simple meals, private BBQs, and romantic dinners to make your stay even more comfortable👍.

It’s important to note that you can book these pool villas for around 200,000 KRW per night in low season, so the price is quite good. At 250 square meters, they’re much larger than a top-tier suite in a typical hotel, and since they come with a variety of services, including personal butler service and complimentary afternoon tea, you’re getting a lot of bang for your buck👍👍.

One Bedroom Deluxe Pool Villa 🌺

The One-Bedroom Deluxe Pool Villa is much larger than the One-Bedroom, at 300 square meters, and is designed with a more luxurious modern interior and more private space. If romance and privacy are a priority for you, especially for couples or honeymooners, the One-Bedroom Deluxe Pool Villa offers a romantic ambiance and additional spaces like an outdoor bathtub.

Two Bedroom Deluxe Pool Villa 🌺

The 2-Bedroom Deluxe Pool Villa offers a staggering size of 450 square meters for starters. The good thing is that each bedroom is designed as an independent space, ensuring privacy, so when two teams come together, the shared living room with its warm and stylish interior is great for family and friends to gather and chat or relax, while the bedrooms each have their own space, so you can hang out together but still have your own space to relax👍.

Three Bedroom Deluxe Pool Villa 🌺

The 3-bedroom Deluxe Pool Villa offers 600 square meters of space, which is a lot of space compared to the 2-bedroom. It is especially recommended for family travelers because it is a safe and private space where you can spend relaxing time with your children, and it is also perfect for gatherings with friends because you can enjoy the independence of each bedroom while still being able to enjoy each other in the living room. It is also a good room for long-term guests as it is fully equipped with kitchen and living amenities, making your stay convenient👍.
