Two of Bali’s newest and most luxurious tourist hangouts have won big at the World Luxury Awards 2024.

Kanva Ubud by K Club Ubud and Akar Gastrobar have made a big impact on the world’s tourism scene and have made an even bigger impact in Bali. 

Kanva Ubud by K Club Ubud won Best Luxury Eco Resort in 2024; the gorgeous glamping resort is also named the #2 best resort in the Tegalalang area of Bali on TripAdvisor.

The Tegalalang Rice Terraces are the most popular rice terraces in Bali and welcome thousands of visitors every day.

A stay at Kanva Ubud offers guests an exclusive view of the world-famous rice terraces and a sense of peace and quiet away from the ever-growing crowds.

Kanva Ubud explains, “Our glamping experience goes beyond just lodging; it is situated amidst the forest, on the far end of the valley, surrounded by pristine and untouched natural scenery.”

“Explore the jungle through activities like bird watching and indulge in moments of pure bliss at Kanva Glamping, where you can experience a unique and memorable glamping experience.”

No wonder the resort was named Best Luxury Eco Resort in 2024.

These are no ordinary glamping tents. By their very nature, glamping experiences offer a glamorous camping experience, but the term has notably lost a little of its oomph in recent years.

Let it be noted that glamping at Kanva is seriously glamorous, luxurious, and undeniably impressive. There are two types of clamping tents available; the first come complete with a private jacuzzi, and the others offer a private infinity pool.

Kanva explains, “Both are elegantly designed and feature a plush king-sized bed, a seating area, and a private balcony, ensuring a comfortable stay in the midst of nature.”

The Farm to Table restaurant of the K Club Resort, Akar Gastrobar, was also named among the World Luxury Award winners for 2024.

Akar Gastrobar has been awarded Best Luxury Steakhouse and is becoming increasingly well-regarded in the Ubud food scene for its high-quality meat selection and finely curated wine list. 

K Club Ubud was founded by Alban Kibarer. The entrepreneur wanted to create a sanctuary where guests could connect with nature but not sacrifice modern comfort. He explains, “K Club Ubud is more than just a resort.”

He added, “It’s a place where luxury meets mindfulness – a space where guests can immerse themselves in nature while enjoying a sustainable, yet sophisticated, lifestyle.”

The World Luxury Awards have been in operation for 18 years and are considered to be a reliable marker for high-quality luxury tourism brands.

World Luxury Awards share that the accolades are “the pinnacle of achievement in the luxury hotel industry offering international recognition as voted by guests, travelers and industry players alike.”

They add, “Over 300,000 international travelers vote each year, during a three-week period to select the winners. Luxury hotels have the opportunity to participate in the World Luxury Hotel Awards by entering hotel categories that showcase their unique selling points and destinations.”

Bali, as a world-class tourism destination, was featured on many of the winning lists this year across a range of categories. Samabe Bali Suites and Villas was named a winner in the Luxury All-Inclusive Villa Global category. 

Radisson Blu Resort, Uluwatu, was named the best Luxury Boutique Resort in the global category, and Four Points by Sheraton Bali Seminyak was named a winner in the Luxury Seaside Hotel category for Asia. 

Luxury travel is in increasingly high demand in Bali, and as the province looks set to smash tourism targets by the end of the year, more and more travelers are seeking exclusive and high-quality experiences as the island becomes busier and busier. 

Fortunately, in Bali, luxury travel need not break the bank, with many five star hotels offering incredible last-minute deals and package rates; now is the perfect time of the year to start looking for luxury getaways over the festive period; you’ll be surprised how much value for money you can find even in the luxury hotel and travel space in Bali.
