Bvlgari Resort Bali — Uluwatu, Indonesia

Perched above the limestone cliffs of Uluwatu, Bulgari Resort Bali feels like a world suspended between sky and ocean. Here, Italian glamour meets Balinese soul, wrapped in volcanic stone, carved teak, and a horizon that glows gold at dusk. Time stretches, the air softens, and every path leads toward moments meant to be savored — slowly, beautifully, and with a sense of ceremony.

For Those Who Seek…

• Cliffside villas where privacy comes with uninterrupted ocean drama
• A fusion of Italian sophistication and Balinese craftsmanship

• Refined dining with sunset views that feel almost surreal

Legacy

Bvlgari Resort Bali lobby

Opened as one of Bvlgari Hotels’ earliest resort outposts, the property set a new benchmark for luxury in Bali. Designed by Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel, it blends the precision of Italian architecture with the warmth of local materials — hand-cut stone, thatched alang-alang roofs, and artisanal details that pay homage to the island’s heritage. Over time, Bvlgari Resort Bali has become an emblem of elevated barefoot elegance, where old-world refinement finds a home on one of the most dramatic coastlines in Asia.

Rooms & Suites

Villas

Each villa is its own sanctuary, framed by private gardens, plunge pools, and unobstructed sea views. Interiors pair dark woods with soft textiles, volcanic stone with marble, creating spaces that feel both intimate and cinematic. Large terraces blur the boundary between indoor comfort and outdoor serenity — perfect for sunrise rituals or quiet evenings by lantern light.

The Mansions

For families or groups seeking space without sacrificing exclusivity, the Mansions offer sweeping multi-level living, expansive pools, curated art, and full-service residential-style hospitality. Ocean panoramas become the backdrop for slow mornings and celebratory dinners, all attended by discreet butlers who anticipate rhythms before you set them.

Refined Indonesian cuisine with modern touches, where aromatic broths, coastal spices, and beautifully layered textures shine. The ambiance shifts throughout the day, from relaxed breakfasts to candlelit evenings overlooking the ocean.

• La Spiaggia
A barefoot-luxury beachside experience reached by the resort’s inclined elevator, offering grilled seafood, fresh salads, and simple, elegant dishes served at the edge of the waves — especially magical at sunset.

Wellness & Experiences

Wellness at Bulgari Resort Bali emerges as a kind of quiet luxury — understated, atmospheric, and deeply sensory. The Bulgari Spa sits carved into the cliffside, framed by volcanic stone and open-air pavilions where linen curtains sway with the ocean breeze. Treatments draw from both Balinese healing traditions and Italian spa philosophy, resulting in massages and rituals that feel deliberate and sculpted rather than routine. Herbal compresses, warm oils, and intuitive techniques work in slow, rhythmic sequences, and couples’ suites with steam rooms and plunge pools offer a private sanctuary suspended between sky and sea.

Around the resort, wellbeing takes on a gentler cadence. Sunrise yoga on cliffside platforms, unhurried laps in the infinity pool, and quiet moments in hydrotherapy areas create a rhythm that mirrors the island’s natural pace. The atmosphere encourages stillness without ever feeling static — a refined invitation to reconnect, breathe deeper, and let the landscape do its subtle, restorative work.

Location & Access

Set along Uluwatu’s dramatic cliffs, the resort sits close to the area’s temples, surf beaches, and natural landmarks while retaining a sense of seclusion. It’s approximately 40 minutes from Ngurah Rai International Airport with seamless chauffeured transfers. Once here, winding stone paths, ocean breezes, and the sound of nature replace any notion of hurry.

Keepsakes

Bvlgari Resort Bali beach

Bvlgari Resort Bali leaves you with a sense of lightness — the kind that comes from salt air, warm stone underfoot, and days that feel sculpted with intention. What lingers is not just the beauty of the cliffs or the precision of the design, but the tenderness woven into each moment: a perfectly steeped tea at dusk, a butler remembering your morning ritual, the sound of waves echoing long after you’ve returned home. It’s luxury that doesn’t announce itself — it simply becomes part of you.
