Paradisus by Meliá Bali has opened, marking Meliá Hotels International as the first global luxury brand to introduce an all-inclusive model in Southeast Asia, setting a new benchmark for experience-led travel in the region…
Situated in Nusa Dua on Bali’s southern coast, and guided by the brand’s Wellness Designed by Destination philosophy, Paradisus by Meliá Bali draws inspiration from the island itself, integrating local traditions, natural surroundings and a sense of balance into the guest experience. The approach focuses on simplicity and ease, giving guests the space to reconnect with themselves, with others, and with the rhythm of Bali.

The property features 492 luxury suites, including seven private garden villas, alongside four pools, eight dining venues and three bars, all surrounded by tropical gardens overlooking the Indian Ocean. It offers a balance of space, privacy and choice, complemented by tailored experiences for different travel styles and individual definitions of wellbeing.
Offering a refined approach to all-inclusive travel that is built around flexibility, the resort allows guests to dine, unwind and explore on their own terms – without the need to plan or coordinate day-to-day details. Beyond these inclusions, guests will also benefit from the resort’s Destination Inclusive programme, a signature Paradisus concept that offers curated experiences both within and beyond the resort, shaped by Bali’s culture, natural beauty and way of life. These include cultural experiences available to all guests, such as the Devan Show at Bali Nusa Dua Theatre, which showcases Indonesia’s diverse cultural heritage through traditional dance and music.
