About Umana Bali, LXR Hotels & Resorts
- Umana Bali is the first LXR Hotels & Resorts property in Southeast Asia, marking Hilton's ultra-luxury brand debut in the region, the resort itself was converted from a former Banyan Tree property, with transformation beginning in late 2020.
- The property's 72 villas cascade down a clifftop above Melasti Beach, one of Bali's most photogenic white-sand coves, with each villa's private infinity pool cantilevered toward the Indian Ocean horizon.
- The resort's five dining venues include Uma Beach House, serving Nikkei cuisine (Japanese-Peruvian fusion) directly on Melasti Beach, one of the few dedicated Nikkei beach-club venues in Bali.
History
Umana Bali, LXR Hotels & Resorts debuted in late 2023 as Hilton’s all-villa luxury resort on Bali’s southern cliff above Melasti Beach. Hilton’s property pages emphasize its design language around Tri Hita Karana, Subak irrigation-inspired landscaping, and bespoke art and lighting elements rather than naming a building architect. The resort sits within Hilton’s LXR portfolio and centers on private pool villas, wellness, and destination dining. Public official pages reviewed do not state a separate historic-building conversion or restoration story.
The setting
Umana Bali, LXR Hotels & Resorts occupies a clifftop estate on Jalan Melasti in Ungasan, Kuta Selatan, above Melasti Beach — a celebrated white-sand crescent below limestone cliffs on Bali's southern Bukit. The resort's villas cascade in terraced rows down the escarpment, each oriented for panoramic Indian Ocean views. Melasti Beach is under a kilometre away, and the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park — home to a 120-metre Vishnu statue — is a short drive across the plateau. Ungasan has emerged as the Bukit's most coveted villa-resort address, its cliff-edge sites combining dramatic scenery with deep seclusion, and the resort's design draws on Bali's Tri Hita Karana philosophy of harmony between people, nature, and the divine.
