Jumeirah Group has further expanded its international portfolio with the debut of its first stunning, contemporary resort in Indonesia. We stepped inside Jumeirah Bali for a closer look…
World famous for its captivating beauty, Bali is often referred to as the last paradise on earth due to its breathtaking natural surroundings, and now Jumeirah Bali has opened its doors, inviting guests to experience its tropical modernism amid lush greenery and exquisite Indian Ocean vistas. Located in the Pecatu region at the south-west of Bali, the all-villa luxury resort sits gracefully on the beach area of Uluwatu – one of the most coveted locations on the island. Inspired by Hindu-Javanese culture, the spectacular resort provides an unsurpassed destination for anyone seeking to reconnect and find inner balance, while soaking in the stunning natural surroundings.
Sheltering spacious villas perched atop the limestone cliffs, the resort offers 123 villas in one- and two-bedroom configurations, as well as a four-bedroom Royal Water Palace, all featuring sublime tropical views of the Indian Ocean and mesmerising lush green natural beauty of Bali. Each villa features a private pool and outdoor living area with an open pavilion overlooking the sunset horizon or a landscaped tropical garden for guests to indulge in a spiritual, secluded, and soulful experience. The resort also provides guests with exclusive access to a private beach framed by the natural landscape offering a quiet enclave to relax.
Reminiscent of Geoffrey Bawa’s ‘tropical modernism’ style, Jumeirah Bali’s indoor-outdoor architecture is designed to create a seamless flow between the architecture, interior, and landscape, blending indigenous building materials with contemporary and luxurious comfort, to transport guests to an authentic Balinese haven of understated elegance with an opulent touch.
Building on Jumeirah Group’s reputation for providing exceptional dining experiences, guests can indulge in three signature restaurants and bars overseen by Master Chef Vincent Leroux, each offering awe-inspiring views across the island’s crystal blue waters and sunset panoramas. Hugging the dramatic terrain, again with those views, is Akasa Gastro Grill which is scheduled to open in June, and will present guests with a unique culinary experience using ancient cooking methods and techniques. A resident DJ and specialist Mixologist complete the scene, providing the perfect spot to relax and enjoy those spectacular sunsets over delicious creations. Located on the ocean front, all-day dining spot Segaran focusses on Balinese and South-East Asian cuisine with a ‘farm to table’ philosophy. Finally, Maja Sunset Pool Lounge will serve as an ideal evening spot to enjoy an end of day cocktail by one of the infinity pools overlooking the vast ocean.
With an array of wellness activities to help guests on their quest to find inner-balance, Jumeirah Bali will also welcome Jumeirah’s award-winning Talise Spa. Currently the resort has two private treatment rooms in operation and will be launching the full spa experience, complete with the only traditional Turkish hammam on the island, in July. Talise Spa offers world-class treatments by expert spa therapists, including holistic facials, healing and energising massages, cleansing scrub treatments, and stress-release therapies based on ancient Balinese techniques and traditional herbal preparations.
Guests can also choose to participate in guided meditation and Yoga classes for an all-encompassing holistic retreat hosted by Jumeirah Bali’s resident Master Yogi, utilise the modern fitness centre or enjoy invigorating hiking experiences to immerse themselves in the splendid natural surroundings.
Jumeirah Bali is committed to sustainable practices, featuring the most advanced desalination system in the world. The resort also supports the local community through the Jumeirah Uluwatu Foundation, dedicated to the wellbeing of the Balinese people.
