Set high above the turquoise waters of Bali’s iconic Melasti Beach, the recently opened Lyvin Melasti is a boutique collection of villas and suites offers a refined new take on barefoot luxury…
Carved gently into the limestone hills of Bali’s Bukit Peninsula, Lyvin Melasti features 18 ocean-facing villas – each with private pools – along with 20 ocean-view suites, which will be launching in December 2025. Plans also include a signature restaurant by Tiga Bule, slated for December, and a wellness spa to follow in 2026.
Designed by Co-Founder and product director Victoria Sokovykh, Lyvin Melasti flows with the terrain – green roofs become terraces for the villas above, internal pathways follow the land’s natural contours, and uninterrupted horizon lines frame every room.

Inside, the mood is calm and textural – honed locally sourced Sulawesi marble floor, custom teak furniture, soft neutral tones, and floor-to-ceiling windows that blur the line between indoor and out. Select villas feature private offices, making the property ideal for longer stays or work-from-paradise escapes.
“We designed Lyvin Melasti to feel both grounding and expansive – a space that invites rest, reflection, and reconnection,” discussed Sokovykh. “Everything is intentional, but never overdone. It’s a place to breathe.”

Set within a three hectare estate surrounded by forest, the Lyvin Melasti complex includes a serene pond at its heart, with planned walking trails that invite slow strolls and quiet moments in nature. Each villa is positioned to capture 180-degree views of the Indian Ocean, with long infinity pools, open-plan layouts, and indoor-outdoor flow. The architectural palette reflects both Scandinavian restraint and Balinese materiality, combining smooth plaster, dark wood, hand-carved details, and stone inspired by the cliffs below.
