About Bulgari Resort Bali
- The resort's spa is housed inside an antique Joglo — a traditional Javanese aristocratic timber house — that was taken apart beam by beam in Java and reconstructed on the Uluwatu cliff, making it one of the very few hotel spas in the world built from a historically significant relocated structure.
- Every villa at Bulgari Bali was hand-crafted exclusively by Balinese artisans — no mass-produced furniture was used anywhere on the property — as specified by architects Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel during the 2006 build.
- The cliff-edge restaurant, Il Ristorante, is curated by Niko Romito, whose Reale restaurant in Castel di Sangro, Abruzzo, holds three Michelin stars and ranked among Italy's highest-scoring restaurants in the 2018 Michelin Guide — making the Bulgari collaboration one of the most credentialed chef partnerships at any resort in Southeast Asia.
- A private inclinator descends the 150-metre limestone face to a white-sand beach enclosed by a coral reef and accessible only to hotel guests — the only such exclusive private-beach access on the Bukit Peninsula.
- The smallest published suite or villa start at 280 sq ft (26 m²).
History
Opened October 2006 perched 150 metres above the Indian Ocean near the 1,000-year-old sacred Pura Luhur Uluwatu Temple. An antique Joglo house from Java was dismantled and relocated to the spa; all villa furniture was hand-crafted exclusively in Bali. A private inclined elevator descends to 1.5 km of exclusive white sand beach.
The setting
Bvlgari Resort Bali occupies a secluded plateau in Uluwatu, perched 160 metres above the Indian Ocean on the southern Bukit Peninsula — one of the most dramatic resort sites in Asia. Sunrise and sunset views sweep open sea, while a private inclinator descends the limestone face to an exclusive white-sand beach accessible only to hotel guests, enclosed by a coral reef. The resort adjoins Pura Luhur Uluwatu, the 11th-century sea temple that has anchored this coastline's spiritual identity for a millennium. First opened in 2006, Bvlgari's Italian-meets-Balinese architecture helped define the clifftop Uluwatu zone that now ranks among the Pacific's premier addresses for ultra-luxury seclusion. 9 km from Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park.
