Want to stay at the best boutique hotel in the world? Then pack your bags for Bali, Indonesia.
Awarta Nusa Dua Luxury Villas & Spa was just awarded best hotel in the world by the Boutique Hotel Awards.
Winners were selected from more than 300 nominees in more than 80 countries, with each property visited personally by an experienced hotel judge for a true first-hand guest experience.
Asia was strongly represented with four winners, including the World’s Best Private Villa – The Resort Villa in Rayong, Thailand – and World’s Best Beach or Coastal Hotel — Reethi Faru Resort in Filaidhoo, Maldives. Awarta’s island neighbor, Hanging Gardens of Bali, took the gong for World’s Most Stunning Views.
Hotel Grand Windsor in Auckland, New Zealand – an art deco building elegantly refurbished in 2017 – was named World’s Best New Hotel.
The accommodation also won the titles of Australiasia’s Most Inspired Hotel Design, and Best New Hotel in Australasia at the awards held in London last week.
