UMANA BALI BALI, INDONESIA
Relish the sea breeze, ocean views and beach life at Umana Bali, a new resort launched by Hilton last November and designed by global design firm WATG and Wimberly Interiors. The design concept blends elements such as sculptures of Balinese dancers with lighting and furnishings that take a cue from local legends, customs and motifs; these include the hand-blown chandelier in the lobby that bears a form inspired by the local Legong Keraton dance.
Stay at one of 72 well-appointed villas, each with its own outdoor hot tub and an infinity-edge pool, for leisurely soaks whenever you feel like it. Ranging from 4,337 sq ft (the one-bedroom villa) to 12,916 sq ft (the three-bedroom villa), these luxuriously spacious structures make it tempting to spend the day in and enjoy the little pleasures of a seaside vacation. When you’re inspired to head out, get direct access to the pristine stretch of beach from your accommodation, and sign up for personalised itineraries crafted by the guest experience team to make the most of your trip; these can include stargazing, cooking classes, kite making and helicopter rides to view the peak of Mount Batur. Finally, dig into a meal at any of the hotel’s five restaurants and bars, matched with wines produced in Bali, and enjoy various other facilities that include a fitness centre, kids’ club and a spa where individual and group wellness sessions can be arranged. hilton.com
