Luxury travel inspiration from the Asia-Pacific region

DestinAsian

<p>A popular beachfront retreat in southern Bali’s upscale Nusa Dua enclave—and within easy reach of Ngurah Rai International Airport—this five-star sanctuary has been delighting holidaymakers from around the world since 2004. Conrad Bali embraces a 350-meter-long stretch of golden sand through its design: the property spans a series of low-rise buildings spread across seven hectares of lagoon-studded tropical gardens.</p>
<p>Comprising 368 guest rooms and suites, the resort’s spacious accommodations sport a vibrant new look, thanks to an extensive two-year renovation. Each one has been furnished in a contemporary island style with Balinese touches and a color scheme that reflects both sand and sea. Entry-level Deluxe rooms start at 45 square meters, and the ground-floor Lagoon suites offer direct access to the pool. A separate wing is home to the Conrad Suites, which come with private terraces and personalized service, while there’s also a quintet of Conrad Pool Villas set in their own gardens.</p>
<p>Guests at Conrad Bali have plenty of options when it comes to dining and drinking. Pan-Indonesian restaurant Suku presents not just Balinese and Javanese favorites but also specialties from other parts of the archipelago. A breezy indoor-outdoor venue meters from the sand, Eight Degrees South showcases the catch of the day in its modern takes on local seafood dishes. RIN tantalizes the palate with its authentic Japanese fare, be it sushi and sashimi, tempura, or teppanyaki. The resort’s lobby lounge, East, is the place to enjoy gourmet coffees and snacks while soaking up views of the postcard-perfect main pool and the Indian Ocean beyond. Azure Bar &amp; Kiosk serves up mocktails, smoothies, salads, and wood-fired pizzas in an alfresco poolside setting. To take things to the next level, Couples will want to arrange a romantic candlelight dinner inside a thatched ocean-facing pavilion, and families and groups of friends should book a buffet-style beach barbecue with a long table right in the sand.</p>

<p>Spa-goers can look to Conrad Bali’s comprehensive three-pronged wellness program for total relaxation and rejuvenation. Jiwa Spa delivers restorative treatments using natural formulas; Jiwa Sense combines ancient Balinese and Indian healing rituals with experimental therapies to awaken the five senses; while Jiwa Strength emphasizes physical health through a diverse range of pursuits from aqua yoga to tennis.</p>
<p>Elsewhere on the property, Kura Kura Kids Club provides a bevy of stimulating and educational activities connected to Balinese culture. For grown-ups, Conrad Bali’s Signature Sensory Odysseys are bound to add even more color to any stay. Options include a sound healing session at Infinity, the seaside wedding chapel; a monthly Full Moon Celebration that immerses guests in local beliefs and traditions; and a perfume-making masterclass focused on Indonesian ingredients.</p>

Conrad Bali

<p>One of Bali’s most picturesque resorts is also among its greenest. Overlooking the Indian Ocean from a cliff-side perch on the Bukit Peninsula, Alila Villas Uluwatu was designed and built according to the guidelines of Earth Check, the global- sustainability benchmark. Singapore-based WOHA Architects used only locally sourced and sustainable materials in the construction of the property, whose 65 villas are spread across 14.4 hectares of a limestone plateau landscaped with foliage native to the arid environment of the Bukit.</p>
<p>Most of the minimalist stone-clad buildings feature natural ventilation and flat rooftops covered in lava rocks, a flourish that keeps the rooms below them cooler while accentuating the resort’s low-key aesthetic. Not that any of this means guests have to sacrifice an ounce of comfort. Each villa comes with its own private pool and cabana; inside, locally sourced artwork, plush Ploh bed linens, and spacious bathrooms adorned with Balinese stone carvings are complimented by bamboo ceilings and his-and-hers organic bath amenities.</p>
<p>Dedicated butlers are also on hand, giving guests a choice of “private,” “discreet,” or “indulgent” levels of service. And though the regular one-bedroom villas are quite spacious at 290 square meters, those in need of more room can book one of the three-bedroom units, which weigh in at either 2,000 or 3,000 square meters.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-135741 size-full" src="https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/Two-bedroom-villa-Cliff-edge-Villa-1.jpg" alt="" width="2000" height="1159" srcset="https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/Two-bedroom-villa-Cliff-edge-Villa-1.jpg 2000w, https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/Two-bedroom-villa-Cliff-edge-Villa-1-300x174.jpg 300w, https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/Two-bedroom-villa-Cliff-edge-Villa-1-1024x593.jpg 1024w, https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/Two-bedroom-villa-Cliff-edge-Villa-1-768x445.jpg 768w, https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/Two-bedroom-villa-Cliff-edge-Villa-1-1536x890.jpg 1536w, https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/Two-bedroom-villa-Cliff-edge-Villa-1-1568x909.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px" /></p>
<p>While a wild stretch of beach sits at the bottom of a cliff-hugging set of 600 steps, most guests will be content to watch the surf from the Sunset Cabana Bar, a cantilevered pavilion of slatted wood that juts out high above the crashing waves. It’s a magical spot for sundowners and small bites. More substantial fare can be found at The Warung, which serves Indonesian and Balinese dishes, and CIRE, a poolside restaurant with a menu of gourmet comfort food from across Asia and the Mediterranean. The suave indoor bar Batique Whiskey &amp; Cigar, meanwhile, lays claim to one of the most extensive collections of single malts in Bali.</p>
<p>The spa here is also a treat, with a gamut of Asian therapies and massages that include Balinese <em>lulur</em> body scrubs, herbal compresses, and shirodhara, an ancient Ayurvedic treatment combining a four-hand massage with the healing power of warm medicated oil for deep relaxation. For something more active, the resort offers a roster of curated experiences called Journeys by Alila that range from surfing lessons to cycling excursions.</p>
<p>Guests can also learn about Alila Villas Uluwatu’s wide-ranging green initiatives, which are at the forefront of regenerative tourism in Bali. Apart from a no-plastics policy and an on-site water purification plant, there’s the Sustainability Lab, where all waste produced on the property is transformed into higher value products and services. You don’t have to be an eco-enthusiast to be impressed.</p>

Alila Villas Uluwatu

<p>Singapore-based Cenizaro Hotels &amp; Resorts turned heads in early 2018 when it opened its first Indonesian outpost on the island of Bintan, a mere 55-minute catamaran ferry ride across the water from the brand’s home city. Situated on the less-trammeled southeastern coastline of the island, The Residence Bintan makes for a quieter alternative to the resorts dotting the popular north shore. Holidaymakers who embark on the scenic hourlong transfer from the ferry terminal will be rewarded with barefoot luxury and a true sense of seclusion.</p>
<p>Here, traditional Indonesian touches grace the 127 clean-lined rooms, suites, and villas. These comprise 80 one-bedroom Vista and Garden Terraces, which feature either a ground-floor patio or an expansive balcony; 22 beachfront villas and 15 Deluxe Sea View villas, all with their own private pool; and a quartet of two-bedroom villas that offer even more space and direct access to the beach. Many of the accommodations also come with plush four-poster king beds.</p>
<p>After spending hours stretched out on a sun lounger by the infinity pool or at the resort’s private beach, guests at The Residence Bintan can look forward to authentic Indonesian dishes and pan-Asian favorites at signature restaurant Rica Rica. Not far away, the Dining Room serves international cuisine and satisfying buffet breakfasts, while Pool Bar has a menu of refreshing drinks and light bites such as pomelo salad. Elevated dining experiences include a barbecue dinner near the beach and a private meal on a wooden deck perched just above the waves.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-135719 size-full" src="https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/2-Bedroom-Beachfront-Villa-LUX_0909-edited-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="1709" srcset="https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/2-Bedroom-Beachfront-Villa-LUX_0909-edited-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/2-Bedroom-Beachfront-Villa-LUX_0909-edited-300x200.jpg 300w, https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/2-Bedroom-Beachfront-Villa-LUX_0909-edited-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/2-Bedroom-Beachfront-Villa-LUX_0909-edited-768x513.jpg 768w, https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/2-Bedroom-Beachfront-Villa-LUX_0909-edited-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/2-Bedroom-Beachfront-Villa-LUX_0909-edited-2048x1367.jpg 2048w, https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/2-Bedroom-Beachfront-Villa-LUX_0909-edited-1568x1047.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" /></p>
<p>The healing properties of native ingredients are harnessed at the spa, whose treatments blend modern techniques with ancient know-how. Then there’s Earth Basket, an on-site organic farm where gardeners grow more than 30 kinds of herbs and vegetables. Another hit with younger guests is Kakatu Kids Club, thanks to its range of fun-filled activities.</p>
<p>Keen to get out on the water? Kayaks and stand-up paddleboards are available, and you can book snorkeling and diving excursions as well as castaway picnics on the nearby isle of Pulau Mapur.</p>

The Residence Bintan

<p>Integrated into the Pondok Indah Shopping Mall complex and just minutes away from the Robert Trent Jones Jr.–designed Pondok Indah Golf Course, this elegant oasis makes an ideal base for those looking to stay in South Jakarta’s premium business, shopping, and entertainment district. In addition, the hotel is also connected to the brand’s first luxury residences in Indonesia, InterContinental Residences Jakarta Pondok Indah.</p>
<p>Pondok Indah is an affluent area dotted with prestigious housing complexes and international schools, and this is reflected in the hotel’s varied offerings. Beyond a lofty lobby accented with works by homegrown artists such as Ketut Winata and Haryanto “Bletuk” Gunawan, whose vibrant painting Red Roses adorns the reception wall, 311 spacious guest rooms and suites designed by HBA Singapore epitomize contemporary Indonesian style, with floor-to-ceiling windows and marbled bathrooms complimenting a soothing modern palette. Guests on the Club InterContinental floor also have access to a dedicated lounge with an outdoor dining terrace, alongside a host of other benefits.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-131903 size-full aligncenter" src="https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Text-Image_Presidential-Suite-Living-Room-1110px-1.jpg" alt="" width="1110" height="740" /></p>
<p>On the first floor, the popular all-day dining Sugar &amp; Spice restaurant serves an eclectic array of international dishes, with a dedicated room for cheeses sourced from France, Italy, and elsewhere. Tucked inside Sugar &amp; Spice is SHIO, an intimate teppanyaki venue where Japanese chef Hidemaro Hodaka presents seasonal <em>omakase</em> dinner menus such as the eight-course Matcha, highlighted by pan-seared tuna belly and grilled Chilean sea bass with <em>yuzu</em> miso sauce. The lobby lounge, meanwhile, offers global comfort food, afternoon tea, and classic cocktails.</p>
<p>Apart from a garden-fringed outdoor swimming pool, facilities range from a grand ballroom that fits up to 3,500 guests to a well-equipped gym and a children’s playground area that’s walking distance to the adjacent The Pondok Indah Water Park. Inaria Spa is another highlight. Tapping into the ancient healing traditions of Indonesia, treatments here include the Robust Sasak Lombok Massage, a 60-minute session of long strokes and acupressure for improving blood flow and reducing tension.</p>
<p>Guests can also count on a knowledgeable concierge team to help them navigate Jakarta’s various attractions, be that a visit to the National Museum or a tour of the art galleries of the nearby Kemang neighborhood.</p>

Raffles Jakarta

<p>This iconic beachfront resort doesn’t just offer direct access to the golden sands<br />
of Jimbaran Beach; it has all the facilities needed to ensure supreme comfort and relaxation on<br />
Indonesia’s Island of the Gods. Enjoying front-seat views of Indian Ocean sunsets, InterContinental Bali Resort occupies 14 hectares of lush gardens adorned with hand-carved stone statues. The same level of Balinese artistry is evident in the 425 guest rooms, suites, and villas, which all sport a classic contemporary look characterized by tropical-chic style and plenty of local touches.</p>
<p>Accommodations start out at a generous 49 square meters; booking an even more spacious Club InterContinental room grants you additional benefits such as exclusive access to a dedicated pool and the Club InterContinental Lounge, which offers daily afternoon tea followed by evening cocktails and canapés. For the ultimate indulgence, the twostory Jivana Villa is a two-bedroom hideout that features a butler’s kitchen, private pool and terrace, and even a separate driveway.</p>
<p>Visiting gourmands have much to look forward to during their stay. Each morning begins with a sumptuous buffet breakfast at Taman Gita, while dinners of freshly caught seafood are a must-try at the seaside Jimbaran Gardens. Light bites, fire-cooked meats, and refreshing cocktails beckon at Sunset Beach Bar &amp; Grill; regional Mediterranean cuisine is the main draw at Bella Cucina; and those in the mood for Japanese fare can feast on authentic sushi and <em>teppanyaki</em> at KO Restaurant.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-136859 size-full" src="https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/ICB_Bukit-Suite.jpg" alt="" width="1610" height="1074" srcset="https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/ICB_Bukit-Suite.jpg 1610w, https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/ICB_Bukit-Suite-300x200.jpg 300w, https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/ICB_Bukit-Suite-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/ICB_Bukit-Suite-768x512.jpg 768w, https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/ICB_Bukit-Suite-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/ICB_Bukit-Suite-1568x1046.jpg 1568w" sizes="(max-width: 1610px) 100vw, 1610px" /></p>

<div class="column">
<p>Meanwhile, Spa Uluwatu offers an extensive menu of wellness and beauty treatments: think a Javanese massage before sunset or the three-hour Royal Heritage Ritual. Pampering spa packages for couples await in InterContinental Bali’s Villa Retreats, three self-contained spa pavilions complete with their own pools.</p>

InterContinental Bali Resort

<p>When it comes to the neighborhoods of Bali, Seminyak is synonymous with style, and the beachfront W resort has that in spades. From its much-photographed tiered pool inspired by the island’s rice terraces to accommodations with eye-popping decor and a 24-hour spa offering midnight massages, W Bali – Seminyak is a playground for savvy travelers seeking out equal doses of five-star luxury and fun.</p>
<p>The resort’s 229 guest rooms, suites, and villas feature polished wooden floors, tilework, and pops of color informed by the island’s fertile countryside and fiery sunsets. After enjoying a relaxing soak in your own terrazzo bathtub, a good night’s sleep is all but guaranteed — beds here come with 350-thread-count cotton linens and goose-down duvets. If you want to go all out, splurge on one of the multi-bedroom pool villas or the Extreme Wow Panoramic Ocean View suite, a split-level bolthole with a double-height living room.</p>

<p>And come mealtime, the options are just as decadent. Sunday brunch is a must-do at breezy seafront restaurant Starfish Bloo, where chefs dish up a dizzying cornucopia of pan-Asian fare, while the wood-fired grill at Fire turns out mouth-watering gourmet pizzas, seafood, and dry-aged meats cooked to perfection. For Bali-inspired snacks, high tea with a twist, or martinis and specialty tipples that harness local ingredients, W Lounge is the place to go.</p>
<div class="column">
<p>Fit, the in-house gym, allows guests to look their best, and a detox at the 24-hour Away Spa will have you blissed out in no time, thanks to its impressive facilities and an extensive menu of treatments, including body wraps, facials, and wellness rituals that can be delivered in a beachfront cabana. Visiting musicians will want to book a session in the state-of-the-art Sound Suite, the resort’s private recording studio.</p>

<p>Staying true to the roots of the brand, the property pays homage to refined British elegance with Italian marble floors, grand columns, and luxe furnishings.

The Langham, Jakarta

<p>Set in terraced gardens designed by the late Made Wijaya, this recently opened all-villa resort descends down the hillside toward Uluwatu’s Dreamland Beach. Its design is an ode to Java’s Majapahit Empire, a Hindu-Buddhist kingdom that deeply influenced the cultural development of Bali. Intricate carvings recall the ruins of Trowulan, site of the Majapahit capital, and the main swimming pool was inspired by that city’s Kolam Segaran reservoir. Architect Martin Grounds and Denniston International’s famed Jean-Michel Gathy have brought the long-lost civilization to life for modern-day travelers.</p>
<p>Guests can choose from 123 one- and two-bedroom villas that either overlook a tropical garden or the Indian Ocean. At the top of the line is a 4,900-square-meter four-bedroom villa featuring a private wine cellar. All accommodations have spacious outdoor lounge areas complete with an open-air pavilion and plunge pool; the abundance of water features is no accident, as the entire resort was conceived as a modern royal water palace.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-137698 size-full" src="https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/Jumeirah-Bali-Honors-Circle-Sunset-Villa-King.jpeg" alt="Jumeirah Bali - Sunset Villa King" width="1200" height="900" srcset="https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/Jumeirah-Bali-Honors-Circle-Sunset-Villa-King.jpeg 1200w, https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/Jumeirah-Bali-Honors-Circle-Sunset-Villa-King-300x225.jpeg 300w, https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/Jumeirah-Bali-Honors-Circle-Sunset-Villa-King-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https://staging.destinasian.com/wp-content/uploads/Jumeirah-Bali-Honors-Circle-Sunset-Villa-King-768x576.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>Closer to the waves, a trio of restaurants and bars provides front-seat views to Bali’s famed ocean sunsets. All-day dining venue Segaran Dining Terrace spotlights Mediterranean and Asian cooking with a farm-to-table philosophy; Maja Sunset Pool Lounge offers afternoon tea, cocktails, and finger food beside the ocean-facing infinity pools; and the sought-after Akasa Restaurant and Bar is where diners can tuck into fire-cooked specialties as a resident musicologist sets the mood.</p>
<p>Jumeirah’s own Talise Spa boasts the only traditional Turkish hammam in Bali, alongside wellness facilities such as a sauna, steam bath, and Vichy showers. Expert therapists here deliver facials, body scrubs, and muscle-melting massages that make use of ancient Balinese techniques and traditional herbal preparations. Over at the indoors-outdoors Peafowl Kids Club, younger guests can embark on treasure hunts and learn about the island’s rich culture through a range of hands-on activities. Weddings and special events are well catered for too, thanks to the fountain garden, Trowulan, which accommodates up to 250 guests.</p>

Jumeirah Bali

<p>Perched above the sacred Pakerisan River in a forested area east of Ubud, this intimate retreat by Japan’s Hoshino Resorts immerses guests in Bali’s natural beauty and rich artistic heritage. Just 30 villas have been carefully arranged in a village-inspired setting, where resort architect Rie Azuma has seamlessly blended traditional Balinese craftsmanship with a Zen-like aesthetic.</p>
<p>Japanese design elements such as <em>shoji</em> screen doors create a pleasing contrast with intricate woodcarvings made by local artisans. Each villa offers direct access to three canal-like swimming pools recalling the island’s traditional <em>subak</em> irrigation system, and features a private terrace with a thatched-roof gazebo. All guest accommodations provide at least 198 square meters of well-appointed living space. Elsewhere on the verdant grounds — the creation of talented landscape designer Hiroki Hasegawa — a boardwalk leads to Café Gazebo, a series of breezy pavilions that appear to hover above the jungle.</p>
<p>It’s an alluring spot to enjoy a leisurely breakfast as the surrounding forest awakens, as well as afternoon tea treats served with Indonesian herbal drinks. Close by, the open-air restaurant tickles the palate with a 10-course set menu that combines French and Balinese flavors with a Japanese twist.</p>

<p>Dishes include tofu and-sesame fruit salad and chicken confit with black olive <em>sambal matah</em>. Deep relaxation awaits at the spa, located just down the hillside from the main resort and accessible via a custom-built funicular. Here, travelers can soak up the soothing sounds of the jungle as gifted therapists deliver Balinese treatments, including a variety of body scrubs and massages that make use of organic ingredients.</p>
<p>Complimentary on-site activities range from sunrise yoga sessions and guided walks through nearby paddy fields to workshops in making Balinese batik and <em>canang sari</em> offerings. For those wanting to step out, the resort runs a free shuttle service to Ubud, putting guests in easy reach of the art galleries, boutiques, and myriad other attractions of Bali’s cultural heart.</p>
