Mandarin Oriental Unveils New Luxury Resort and Residences in Bali

Hong Kong, 19 July 2024 – Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has today announced that it will manage a luxurious hideaway resort with private residences located on Bali’s southern coast on the picturesque Bukit peninsula.

Perched on a cliffside plateau of elevated terraces, the resort provides dramatic panoramic views of the Indian Ocean’s azure waters, with direct access to a secluded and protected white-sand beach. Guests will enjoy infinity pools and cliff-edge dining, while wellness experiences nestled into the cliffs will offer a rejuvenating escape.

Crafted by Design Lab architects and renowned interior designer Jeffrey Wilkes, alongside the world-renowned landscaping expertise of Bill Bensley, this contemporary resort masterfully embraces its stunning vistas. It artfully captures the essence of Balinese culture, highlighting its unique craftsmanship, all while reflecting Mandarin Oriental’s meticulous attention to detail.

With its stunning cliff-top location and thoughtful design, underpinned by our award-winning service, this resort and branded Residences will offer guests and homeowners an unparalleled blend of tranquility and elegance.”

The project is a collaboration with local real estate developer Harmoni Bali. Leo Koguan, Chairman of the company stated, “We are proud to partner with Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group to elevate luxury hospitality in this extraordinary destination. Our vision is to create an award-winning resort experience that will become a sought-after destination.”

Comprising 110 generously appointed suites and villas, each designed to harmonize with the natural surroundings, the property will offer private terraces or gardens, with most featuring private pools. Unique dining experiences will include a cliff-edge restaurant and bar, a specialty Chinese restaurant, a speakeasy bar, and a beach club, providing a culinary journey that highlights the best of Indonesian and international cuisine.
