Officially, Bali has no private beaches, yet the 1.5-kilometre stretch of golden sand below Bvlgari Resort Bali is essentially that. Protected by a thriving coral reef and impenetrable limestone cliffs, it is difficult to access but for the property’s funicular, which is open only to hotel guests.
After the scenic funicular ride, a staircase hugs the craggy cliffside past La Spiaggia to deliver guest to Bali’s most peaceful Beach Club. There, crashing waves provide nature’s soundtrack for ultimate relaxation. Plump sun beds shaded by umbrellas are protected from the wild blue surf where dolphins might be spotted playing in the distance.
The full-service Beach Club offers a menu of chilled cocktails and snacks from La Spiaggia, which are delivered directly to sunbathing guests at their chairs. Swimming in the sea is not advisable due to strong currents and high tides, but the conditions are appropriate for walks and beachcombing for colorful shells and coral fragments.
The Bvlgari Resort Bali’s exclusive Beach Club and lunch restaurant, La Spiaggia, are accessible via private inclinator, and only in-house guests have the privilege of riding it. The funicular descends 160 metres down the verdant cliffside, giving guests a bird’s eye view of the untouched coastline en route. It operates from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
Marrying an idyllic natural landscape with Italianate refinement, eight one-bedroom Ocean Cliff Villas are perched closest to the cliff’s edge amid a dense tropical garden and sit within a traditional Balinese entry and a high stone wall for optimal privacy. The shimmering Indian Ocean occupies the full panoramic view from the expansive shaded outdoor living room with an elegant minibar, a personal infinity-edge swimming pool, and sumptuous sun beds.
Protected behind its own exclusive entrance, the Bvlgari Villa is an extraordinary 1,300-square-metre villa clad in stone that is truly one of a kind. The centerpiece of this two-storey jewel atop the cliff is a 20-metre heated swimming pool, which reaches toward the sapphire Indian Ocean and cascades into a second lower pool. Amid the verdant gardens and large lawn are intimate thatched-roof pavilions for outdoor living and relaxation as well plush sun beds and a meditation pergola framed by an extensive terrace.
Acting as a resort within a resort, with a dedicated separate entrance, the Five-Bedroom Mansions exist in their own enchanted world, which creates ultimate privacy for the guests. Ensconced in mature tropical gardens that reveal ocean vistas, the mansions have an extensive footprint and feature architectural and interior design that wows from the first steps up a leather-topped staircase into the vast living room decorated with orchids, Indonesian antiques and artwork.
A new movie starring Bvlgari Global Brand Ambassador Priyanka Chopra Jonas and produced by Atomic Production and directed by Andrea Rovetta, gives viewers an unprecedented view of Bvlgari Hotel Roma, taking them behind the scenes to discover the craftsmanship and culture that inspired the property.
