Luxurious Accommodation on Bali's Divine Island: LXR Hotels & Resorts
Umana Bali Resort: A Luxurious Retreat Embracing Balinese Culture and Nature
Nestled on the southernmost cliff point of Bali, Umana Bali Resort offers a unique blend of luxurious, private retreats deeply rooted in Balinese culture and nature. This resort, the first LXR hotel in Southeast Asia, opened late last year and has since become a haven for those seeking a tranquil and immersive escape.
The resort boasts 72 private pool villas, each designed as spacious sanctuaries rather than just rooms. These villas range from 403 square meters and feature private pools, high ceilings, marble bathrooms with rainfall showers and soaking tubs, and beautiful private gardens. The largest villa is the Three-bedroom Umana Ocean View, set within its own 12,915-sq-ft estate.
Umana Bali Resort is deeply committed to eco-conscious design and philosophy, rooted in the Balinese principle of Tri Hita Karana, which emphasizes harmony among people, nature, and spirit. This philosophy permeates the resort’s ethos and guest experiences, making the stay both luxurious and soulful.
Culinary experiences at Umana Bali Resort are nothing short of exceptional. Oliverra, a Mediterranean fire-led dining venue, offers meals as a performance, while Uma Beach House provides an elevated seaside dining experience with a cosmopolitan vibe.
Wellness and restoration are at the heart of Umana Bali Resort. Lohma Spa offers more than typical spa treatments, focusing on spiritual restoration alongside physical wellness. Activities such as intimate cliffside dinners with natural ocean soundtracks, sunrise yoga sessions by the sea, and collaborations with local artisans for meaningful souvenirs promote inward reflection and connection.
Umana Bali Resort caters to families as well, with an artfully designed kids’ club featuring fun activities like bracelet making, kids’ yoga, puppet shows, a ball pit under a decorative hot air balloon, and giant tic-tac-toe. Comprehensive facilities include an infinity pool overlooking the ocean, Jacuzzi with relaxing area, a well-equipped 24-hour gym, tennis courts, sauna, and on-site cooking classes, wine, coffee, and arak tastings for adults.
The resort's location offers breathtaking ocean views and direct access to Melasti Beach below the cliffs. Guests can enjoy a dedicated space with lounge chairs, chilled white wine, and watermelon juice on Melasti Beach. The resort is also home to Melasti Beach Amphitheater, the location for the Kecak dance show, a traditional Balinese dance originated in the 1930s.
Pura Batu Pageh, a lesser-visited ancient temple, is another highlight of Umana Bali Resort. Here, visitors can have their souls blessed, a custom that involves wearing something lightweight that you don’t mind getting wet. Guests are also presented with a bracelet of three intertwining colors - red for creativity, black for reservation, and white for afterlife - representing the circle of life in Balinese culture.
On a chartered yacht, guests can sail around Nusa Penida and Lembongan, enjoying a lunch of lobster and scallops and potentially seeing a pod of dolphins up close. The resort's location also offers hypnotic sunsets, making each day at Umana Bali Resort a memorable experience.
In summary, Umana Bali Resort uniquely combines spacious, private luxury villas with a deep cultural philosophy, immersive wellness experiences, distinctive Mediterranean and local culinary venues, and family-friendly amenities, all set within a spectacular eco-conscious cliffside environment in Bali.
