Mû Bali Boutique Resort & Villas

Mû is one of Bingin's longest-standing clifftop stays, with 11 bungalows and five villas of one to five bedrooms spread down the slope above the beach. The largest villa, Lumba Lumba, has a 25-metre saltwater pool; others have private pools or look over the shared pool.

The restaurant and bar, Abracadabra by Mû, sits right on the cliff edge and is a fine place for sunset, with views across Bingin to Impossibles. Guests praise the in-house bakery, the spa and the yoga sessions. Rooms are rustic rather than modern, with some open-air bathrooms, and you may meet geckos and the odd monkey.

The beach is reached by the steep Bingin steps, so this is a better fit for active travellers than for anyone with limited mobility. Ask for a cliff bungalow if you want to wake up to the view, and book dinner on the terrace even if you stay elsewhere.
