Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort
Nusa Dua, Indonesia · Sofitel · High Luxury
WATG raised Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua in under two years so Indonesia would have a beachfront house ready for the 2013 APEC Summit, the first Sofitel in the country. A twenty-metre timber banyan sculpture holds the lobby like a village gathering space, and the Gamelan Ballroom is still the only beachfront ballroom on the island, on ITDC Lot N5 above the reef-protected sand.
- 413 rooms
- Opened 2013
- Rooms from 516 sq ft (48 m²)
- Architect: WATG
About Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort
- The house was designed and built in under two years to serve as Indonesia's base for the 2013 APEC Summit, a 413-room timeline that still surprises.
- The Gamelan Ballroom is Bali's only beachfront ballroom, a claim Sofitel's own meetings notes still repeat.
- WATG recycled the half-finished villas that previously occupied the site: timber roofs became balcony trellises, and original I-beams were rewelded into the new ballroom.
- Entry-level rooms start at 516 sq ft (48 m²).
History
Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort opened in 2013 inside the ITDC Tourism Complex, Bali's planned international resort enclave on the reef-protected south coast. WATG finished the 413-room house in under two years so it could host the APEC Summit, recycling timber and steel from abandoned villas on Lot N5. Balinese carving, water courts, and tropical gardens run through the grounds down to Nusa Dua beach, with the Gamelan Ballroom opening onto the sand.
The setting
Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua Beach Resort occupies Lot N5 within the ITDC Tourism Complex on Jalan Nusa Dua in Benoa, at the southern edge of Nusa Dua's internationally recognised luxury enclave — the planned resort zone developed from the 1970s to concentrate world-class brands on Bali's most pristine reef-protected coastline. Nusa Dua Beach is twenty minutes by road and Jimbaran Beach forty-one minutes, while the Bali Collection shopping complex is within the estate. Conrad Bali is 1.3 kilometres along the bay road and Grand Hyatt Bali 1.4 kilometres, placing the Sofitel at a pivotal junction between the Nusa Dua core and Tanjung Benoa peninsula — approximately twenty-five minutes from Ngurah Rai International Airport. 15 km from shops of Jalan Legian.
