Holding a commanding cliff-top position above a pristine Uluwatu beach, Bvlgari Resort Bali evokes thoughts of the mysterious beauty of old Indonesia, while delivering style and comfort synonymous with sophisticated Italian design.

Architects Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and Partners, have created a haven, which celebrates the culture and natural elements of the location. Rich exotic timbers, hand-cut volcanic stones and refined fabrics feature throughout and a collection of exquisite Balinese antiques and art pieces adorn the entire resort.

Uniquely positioned at more than 150 metres above the shore, guests enjoy unrivalled views across the Indian Ocean. At the foot of the cliffs, a 1.5 km long beach is accessible through the resort’s inclinator, guaranteeing it is truly private and exclusive.
