GILDED PALMS VILLA, BALI
A Luxurious, Rainbow-Forward Bali Guesthouse in the Quiet Ubud Hills.
Three elegant private suites. Discreetly fabulous. Aggressively restful. Open to everyone — party energy not included.
WHY STAY WITH US
PROUDLY INCLUSIVE.
We welcome all orientations and identities — all couples, solo travellers, close friends, and chosen family. Expect discreet, judgement-free hospitality and privacy-first service in a respectful house culture.
PEACEFUL, ADULTS-ONLY VIBE.
Prefer calm Bali over the “Gay Seminyak” club circuit? Trade strobe lights and drag shows for birdsong and real sleep. (The only drag here is your suitcase.) We’re intentionally scene-free: we’ll point you to nightlife when you want it; when you need sleep, you’ll get it.
INTIMATE BY DESIGN.
With just three private suites (max 6 guests), enjoy solitude when you want it and low-pressure connection when you’re in the mood. Book all three suites for a fully private chosen-family retreat!
WHERE YOU’LL BE
In Bali’s cultural heartland: a quiet village encircled by rice terraces, waterfalls, temples, and markets — the Bali you imagined. Far from the noise, but just 25 minutes north of Ubud for world-class restaurants, shows, galleries, and spas.
Sitting in the very centre of the island, Gilded Palms is the perfect base to explore Bali in every direction. There's no need to hop from hotel to hotel.
FLEXIBLE STAYS (WITH PRONOUNS, PILLOWS & PROPER QUIET)
• Nightly stays
• Monthly stays with savings
• Long-term stays of 3, 6, 9, or 12 months — ideal for chosen families easing into Bali life.
A month at Gilded Palms costs less than a week at many mid-range hotels — yet you’ll enjoy boutique-level service and a more personal, affirming experience.
We can provide lease agreements meeting the requirements for an Indonesian Retirement Visa.

AFFIRMING STAYS, REAL SLEEP, AND GENUINE WELCOME.

Ubud is often called the “soul of Bali”: a green, temple-studded town where art and wellness take centre stage. It isn’t the island’s gay party hub—that crown belongs to Seminyak—but it is quietly, warmly welcoming to LGBTQ travellers who prefer culture and slow mornings to neon all-nighters. Think sunrise rice-field walks, palace dance, a massage before dinner, and early nights for tomorrow’s yoga or waterfall hike.
Whilst Ubud has no official gay bars, there are easygoing, queer-friendly spots. Start at No Más Bar on Monkey Forest Road: retro-cool live bands/DJs, strong cocktails and a friendly mixed crowd. Slip through to Folk Pool & Gardens behind it for cabanas, daybeds and a leafy pool scene; reserve a teepee or lounger, and check their outdoor movie nights. When you do want to stay out late, CP Lounge is the dependable nightcap—live music, shisha garden, dancing, and the latest closing in town. None are exclusively gay, but travellers consistently feel at home.
For dinner, classic Ubud institutions set the tone. Café Wayan meanders through tropical gardens and thatched pavilions, serving Balinese favourites and lighter, health-minded dishes. Café Lotus seats you by a lotus pond with a temple backdrop; on select nights, traditional dance accompanies dinner. Beyond these, central Ubud is lined with excellent kitchens—from elevated Indonesian to plant-forward cafés to artisan bakeries—plus third-wave coffee and gelato.
Remember: this is Ubud, not Seminyak. Most places wind down by 10 p.m.; the vibe is more conversation than clubbing. By day, Ubud shines—world-class spas, yoga shalas, craft workshops, and markets where woodcarvers, silversmiths and batik artists sell direct from their studios.
For LGBTQ travellers, the take-home is simple: Ubud may be scene-light, but it’s deeply welcoming. Hospitality here is warm, discreet and respectful; couples and chosen families blend in with the international crowd. Stay in the quiet Ubud highlands to enjoy the refined countryside and the authentic culture of Bali—a place where you’ll feel at ease and very much at home.
And, if you occasionally have a craving for gay bars and big-room DJs, Seminyak is about an hour away by car (traffic permitting).
