Holidaymakers seeking an elevated five-star stay in Indonesia’s Island of the Gods will find a glamorous haven in the scenic Uluwatu area.

Spanning 8.4 hectares atop the soaring limestone cliffs of Bali’s Bukit Peninsula, Bvlgari Resort Bali melds a contemporary Italian ultra-luxe experience with warm Indonesian hospitality and locally inspired design. Unobstructed vistas of the Indian Ocean vistas await from all accommodations, which are arranged in terraces and comprise 59 expansive pool villas starting at a generous 300 square meters, the single 1,300-square-meter Bvlgari Villa, and quintet of three- to five-bedroom Mansions ideal for hosting multigenerational families and groups of friends.

Led by Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, Milan-based ACPV ARCHITECTS have looked to Indonesian materials—handwoven fabrics, local hardwoods, and hand-cut volcanic and coral stone—to give the high-end sanctuary a strong sense of place. A deeply ingrained respect for craftsmanship is also evident in the use of island-made ceramics and furniture, in addition to locally produced accessories and tableware found exclusively at Bvlgari Resort Bali.

For Bali’s hospitality scene, this stylish retreat presents the last word in luxury, with all guests guaranteed flexible check-in and checkout times as well as the attentive service of personal butlers, who are on hand to fulfill every need—including packing and unpacking if required. Breakfast is available 24/7, as is a private yoga instructor. Stays can be made even more enriching via complimentary activities, such as a melukat water purification ceremony at the resort’s in-house temple, a guided village walk, and Kamasan painting.

Guests who book the highest villa categories will be treated to VIP airport arrival service as well as the services of a dedicated chef and a chauffeured car to use during their stay. The Bvlgari Villa features two bedrooms and two living rooms, not to mention a private cinema and spa treatment room, ad its own 20-meter heated pool. Measuring between 1,710 and 4,415 square meters, the two-story Mansions have the feel of a secluded private estate, with two-tiered swimming pools, Miele kitchens, and well-stocked bars. Guests staying in resort villas and the Mansions benefit from unlimited laundry and garment pressing.

Bvlgari Resort Bali’s dedication to exclusivity and refinement extends to the culinary realm. The signature restaurant, Il Ristorante – Luca Fantin, is an intimate dinners-only spot with just 24 seats. Resident chef Alessandro Mazzali executes acclaimed chef Luca Fantin’s vision for a seasonal prix fixe menu that delivers modern interpretations of classic Italian fare while showcasing local organic produce and the finest imported ingredients. Exclusive Champagne collections and a comprehensive wine list of more than 200 fine labels are also offered.

Open throughout the day, cliff-edge restaurant Sangkar serves authentic Balinese and Indonesian cuisine as well as some international selections. All are prepared with carefully selected local ingredients in a setting adorned with teakwood and copper nail artwork by Balinese artist Made Wianta. The Bvlgari Bar is the place for afternoon tea, Italian aperitifs and Bali-inspired cocktails, plus complimentary Italian canapés at sundown.

The Relaxation Pavilion at The Bvlgari Spa.

Balinese wellness rituals, holistic massages, and Ayurvedic therapies are offered at the spa, whose entry pavilion is a traditional Javanese joglo house transplanted from the historic city of Kudus. Here, six ocean-facing treatment rooms and a pair of “royal pavilions” with their own plunge pools and outdoor showers beckon, alongside steam rooms, a dedicated yoga pavilion, and the Bvlgari Gymnasium stocked with the latest fitness equipment.

While parents relax at the spa or head to the gym, children can look forward to playtime at The Little Gems kids’ club, a recently added facility. The property is also home to Bali’s one and only Bvlgari boutique, showcasing the fine jewelry, watches, and fragrance collections the brand is known for. These are displayed alongside a Bali-exclusive collection of island attire, making for an alluring selection of keepsakes that will remind you of an unforgettable vacation at one of Bali’s finest luxury resorts.
