So, you smoke. You’re going to Bali. And all you want is a hotel where you can enjoy your cigarette in peace, preferably with a view, a breeze, and zero judgment.
The problem? Most hotel sites pretend smokers don’t exist. You’re left guessing if that “balcony” is just for show or if you’ll get the side-eye for lighting up.
Been there. Not fun.
So here’s the real deal, a no-fluff list of the best hotels in Bali for smokers. These are places where you can actually relax and light one without stress.
Why It’s So Hard to Find Smoking-Friendly Hotels in Bali
Smoking Isn’t Illegal — It’s Just Complicated
Bali isn’t anti-smoker. But many hotels and villas in Bali have gone full non-smoking, especially the chain hotels.
So if you’re not checking carefully, you’ll end up with:
- A “balcony” that doesn’t allow smoking
- Zero ashtrays in sight
- Staff politely hinting you go stand by the trash can
Annoying? Very.
That’s why this guide exists.
The Best Smoking-Friendly Hotels in Bali (Tested & Loved)
These hotels get it. They have smoking areas, private balconies, and won’t make you feel like a criminal for enjoying a cig or two.
1. TS Suites – Seminyak
Best for: Balcony smokers + foodies
You know that feeling when you step onto your balcony, spark one, and watch the sun fight its way through a hangover? Yeah. This is the place.
TS Suites has these open-air bathtubs and balconies where nobody cares what you do. Smoke, drink, eat noodles in the tub at 2am. Nobody’s coming for you.
Also, they have 24-hour breakfast. Let me say that again. Twenty. Four. Hour. Breakfast.
I once had bacon and eggs at 11:45pm in my towel. With a cig in hand. Zero shame.
Smoking Options:
- Private balconies (yes, you can smoke)
- Rooftop lounge area = smoker heaven

2. The ONE Legian – Kuta
Best for: Budget travelers + party people
Let’s be real. Kuta’s not for everyone. But if you’re down for chaos, street food, and Bintang-fueled nights, this spot works.
The rooftop pool’s always got music. And yes, there are smoking areas — not hidden ones behind dumpsters either. Proper ones, with seats and views and ashtrays that get emptied.
The staff won’t blink if you ask, “Can I smoke here?” They’ll probably hand you a lighter.
Pro tip: Book a room with a balcony. Otherwise you’ll have to lean halfway out the window like a high school kid trying not to get caught.

- Rooftop lounge allows smoking
- Staff won’t hassle you
Where to book and how much?:

3. The Stones Hotel – Legian Beach
Best for: Chill luxury + big bathtubs
A Marriott with chill smoking vibes? Wild, right?
But yep, this one gets it. The balcony rooms are made for smokers. Big, breezy, ocean-ish air (with a whiff of street satay).
No drama. No calling reception to “check.” You walk out, light up, and watch the palm trees sway like they’re vibing to your playlist.
The pool area has smoke zones too. And they’re not sad little corners with a stool. They’re cool.
Smoking Options:
- Rooms with balcony (definitely smokeable)
- Outdoor pool lounge = open smoke zone
Where to book and how much?:
- Tripadvisor from $ 125
- Trip.com from $ 122
4. Dash Hotel – Seminyak
Best for: Loud music, rooftop vibes, and funky decor
Okay, this one’s for the artsy smokers. You know who you are.
Red walls. Metal elevators. Rooftop bar that feels like a Bangkok rave.
Most rooms come with a balcony and if not, they’ll actually switch your room without fuss. You can light up on the rooftop too. I did. With a martini. Alone. At sunset. Like a dramatic indie movie character. It was great.
The crowd here? Young, weird, loud. You’ll fit in just fine.
Smoking Options:
- Balcony access in many rooms
- Rooftop bar (open-air, totally chill with smoking)
Where to book and how much?:
- Tripadvisor from $ 60
- Trip.com from $ 65

5. The Slow – Canggu
Best for: Design lovers + solo thinkers
Now, hear me out. Canggu is starting to feel like Instagram with a tan. But The Slow still has that smoky, moody, too-cool-to-care vibe.
The rooms are half wood, half concrete, full art gallery, full attitude.
And the private patios? Your smoking haven.
You can sip overpriced coffee, play vinyl records, and smoke like a tortured poet.
It’s dramatic. It’s overpriced. And honestly? Still worth it.
Just don’t walk around the lobby blowing clouds, this place is cool, not lawless.
Smoking Options:
- Patio or outdoor seating in many rooms
- Ask for smoking-friendly rooms when booking
Where to book and how much?:
- Tripadvisor from $ 116

6. Hotel Tugu – Canggu
Best for: Poetic smokers + quiet vibes
This one’s for the classy smokers.
Think: antique vibes, Batik everything, and a pool that looks like a film set.
The rooms feel like museums, but the kind where you can smoke.
Every suite has an outdoor space. Private garden, little pond, giant daybed.
Light a clove ciggie and pretend you’re in a 1930s Bali novel.
It’s moody. It’s sexy. It’s giving “I smoke because I feel things deeply.”
Smoking Options:
- Private patios and gardens
- Outdoor restaurant spaces allow smoking
Where to book and how much?:
- Tripadvisor from $ 216
- Trip.com from $ 218
- Agoda from $ 176

7. W Hotel – Seminyak
Best for: Blowout trips + ocean-view cig breaks
Yes, it’s expensive. Yes, it’s full of influencers and weird lighting. But also yes, you can smoke on the balcony and no one will bat an eye.
The private pool villas? Chef’s kiss. You can light up in the pool if you want. I did. Champagne in one hand, smoke in the other, pretending I was more successful than I actually am.
And they bring you extra ashtrays if you ask. Fancy ones. Probably worth more than your flight ticket.
Smoking Options:
- Villas with private outdoor areas
- Poolside loungers allow smoking in designated zones
Where to book and how much?:
- Tripadvisor from $ 446
- Trip.com from $ 408
- Booking from $ 464
- Expedia from $ 416
Things Nobody Tells You (But I Will)
- Not all balconies allow smoking. Even if you have a balcony, some hotels will put up signs. Rip them down. Kidding. (Sort of.) Just call and ask in advance.
- Always pack your own ashtray. Even a little tin. Because trust me, you’ll need it at some cafes.
- Respect the locals. Bali isn’t Vegas. Don’t blow smoke in people’s faces. Don’t flick ash near offerings. Don’t be that tourist.
- Cloves are everywhere. If you’ve never smoked a Djarum, now’s the time. Just don’t do five in a row unless you want to see stars.
So yeah. Smokers, you’re not forgotten. Bali still has space for you, your lighter, and your late-night thoughts on a balcony somewhere.
Go. Breathe in. Breathe out. Light up.
(And maybe bring some gum.)
