A Decade Of Extravagance

The St Regis Bali Resort enters a new decade in the Island of the Gods with a US$5 million refurbishment.

As a name synonymous with timeless legance, refined luxury and peerless service, the sprawling Nusa Dua resort set within a nine-hectare garden looks like it hasn’t aged a day. The suite-and-villa-only beachfront property is as stunning as ever: the lobby continues to dazzle guests with its glittery splendour, the infinite panoramic ocean views never get old, and the 3,668 sq m crystal saltwater lagoon pool still sparkles. Even the staff on duty look fresh-faced and earnest to see to all your whims and fancies, no matter the time of day.

If that doesn’t inspire return visits, the newly refurbished villas and the new Strand Residence will. Reimagined to evoke a warmer, homelier feel, the new look is that of restrained extravagance with a touch of Balinese rusticity, complete with the staples you would expect from a St Regis hotel: crystal chandeliers, palatial marble bathrooms, huge beds and plush furnishings. The living rooms and bedrooms have also been upgraded with the latest 52-inch smart TVs and advanced entertainment systems. In-room temperature controls, blackout shades and the most luxurious bedding ensure you get the rest you rightfully deserve.
