MELIÁ BALI immerses guest in the exotic heart and soul of Bali. Everything from the vast tropical gardens to the thatched-roof buildings and meandering lagoon-style pool evokes the ambiance of the sanctuary and bring the essence of Bali.
Secluded on Bali’ southern coast, set amidst 11 acres of lush parkland, lakes, lotus ponds, fountains, stone carvings and tropical gardens, the resort looks over Nusa Dua’s half-moon of the white sand beach. From here, guests can walk instantly to Bali Collection Shopping Center, International Convention Center, and three 18-hotel championship golf courses.
Two large stone goddesses and lotus blossom fountain greet newcomers at the porte-cochere entry. The resort’s main lobby sets the Balinese tone with polished floors, high-pitched ceilings, and gleaming teak furniture. Guests stroll to their rooms under towering palms, gardens lush with tropical flora and accented by koi ponds and carved stone bridges.
The Meliá Bali is the first property of Sol Melia outside Spain, built on 11 acres of land in Nusa Dua, southern Bali. Its unique architecture was created by Mr. Emilio Nadal from Spain, who has dedicated a full year research and study of the Balinese architecture and lifestyle in Bali prior taking the assignment.
Set on the beautiful, gleaming white Nusa Dua beach, the hotel faces a tranquil lagoon, fringed as far as the eye can see, by a coral reef. Melia Bali's 11 acres of wonderfully lush tropical gardens are the reflection of paradise. Meliá Bali has developed a great tradition of caring for their friends and working together as a family, a great resort to work for and to come back to.
What distinguishes this resort from other competitors is we always continue to create the “Meliá moment”, which makes people come back home to the resort. We now have second generation guests being served by second-generation employees. The entire stay experience for the guest is personalized by the staff in their daily service. It is the reflection of paradise, a masterpiece of the work of nature matched by the works of man. The resort integrates nature and holiday-making pleasure in a glorious fusion of greenery and smiles.
