When looking at hotels in Bali, it is worth paying attention to the bathroom as well as the bedroom and pool. Some of the island's most interesting stays give just as much consideration to this part of the accommodation, creating spaces designed for long showers, baths and unhurried mornings.

Bali's climate makes layouts possible that would be difficult to use in many other destinations. Bathrooms can open onto private gardens, showers can sit beneath partially open roofs and large windows can bring tropical vegetation directly into view. In more secluded villas, the boundary between indoors and outdoors can become particularly subtle.

Materials play an important role too. Stone, textured plaster, timber and handmade objects give these spaces a warmer character than a conventional hotel bathroom. Instead of relying on large amounts of decoration, the architecture and materials provide most of the atmosphere.

For travellers, these details can make a genuine difference to the experience of a stay. A beautiful bathroom becomes somewhere to return to after the beach, a surf session or a day exploring the island, especially when it includes an outdoor shower, a deep bath or views of the surrounding landscape.

When comparing stays in Bali, it can therefore be worth looking beyond the usual photographs of infinity pools and ocean views. Sometimes one of the best spaces in the hotel is behind the bedroom door.
