Mandarin Oriental Signs Resort in Bali

Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has signed a contract to manage a luxurious hideaway resort in Bali, Indonesia.

Mandarin Oriental, Bali, which is slated to open at the end of 2016, will be located on Bali’s southern Bukit peninsula, and will form part of the luxurious Bukit Pandawa development.

Perched on a cliff-side plateau, the resort will offer dramatic and spectacular 180 degree views with direct access to a secluded and protected white-sand beach.

Situated on elevated terraces with commanding views of the Indian Ocean, the 121-key resort will comprise 97 villas, each with a private pool ranging from 10 to 15 metres in length, and 24 guestrooms.

Designed by architect and interior designer, Jean Michel Gathy of Denniston International, all accommodation will be contemporary in style, taking full advantage of the resort’s vistas.

Mandarin Oriental, Bali will feature three restaurants and bars including a cantilevered cliff-top restaurant, a three-meal restaurant and a relaxed beach grill and bar.

The resort will also offer a variety of multi-purpose function rooms, including an iconic cliff-top ceremony platform – ideal for weddings – with sweeping ocean views.

An 1,725 square metre spa will feature eight treatment rooms, while further facilities include significant heat and water therapies and a 100 metre outdoor swimming pool surrounded by a number of private lifestyle cabanas, all equipped with spa and entertainment amenities. An extensive fitness centre completes the well-being options.

Golf enthusiasts will be catered for with a spectacular 18-hole golf course adjacent to the resort.

Mandarin Oriental, Bali is located southwest of Nusa Dua on Bali’s southern Bukit peninsula, and will form part of the Bukit Pandawa integrated resort development. The area is predominantly known for its dramatic craggy coastline, white sandy beaches, imposing cliff-tops and varied landscape, making this a striking destination to explore. The hotel is 25 minutes from Bali’s Ngurah Rai international airport and 30 minutes from the popular tourist destinations of Seminyak and Sanur.
